Faith, Spirituality and Religion

The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.

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

Elected Silence, sing to me

Because the Holy Ghost over the bent

When God at first made man,

If goodness lead him not, yet weariness

The land of spices; something understood.

Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,

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.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world.

From harmony, from heavenly harmony
