Faith, Spirituality and Religion

For frantic boast and foolish word—

I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land … So I’m happy tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man.

All argument is against it; but all belief is for it.

Still raise for good the supplicating voice,

To lift up the hands in prayer gives God glory, but a man with a dungfork in his hand, a woman with a slop-pail, give him glory too. He is so great that all things give him glory if you mean they should.

Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend

Because the Holy Ghost over the bent

Elected Silence, sing to me

If goodness lead him not, yet weariness

When God at first made man,

Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,

The land of spices; something understood.

Teach me, my God and King,

Let all the world in ev’ry corner sing

Dieu me pardonnera, c’est son métier.

The Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything.

Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway,

Light (God’s eldest daughter) is a principal beauty in building.

Christianity has done a great deal for love by making a sin of it.

Shantih, shantih, shantih.

An alien people clutching their gods.

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility … The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle.

God is subtle but he is not malicious.

I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.
