An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.
Samuel ButlerI do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Lao TzuPeople crowd into film shows rush towards social clubs - spend days together in playing cards - but when they are asked to sing the Glory of God and purify themselves and the atmosphere they clamor for concession ! When the heads hit against each other in anger can the feet be steady and unaffected ? They too will kick and trample as maliciously as they can.
Sai BabaThe soles of Neil Armstrong's boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent's sofa.

Mitt RomneyThis body is the residence of God. The food you take is the offering you make to him. Your act of bathing is the ceremonial bathing of Him who is in You. The ground you walk on is His domain. The joy you gain is His gift. The grief you experience is His lesson. Remember Him ever in sun and rain day and night asleep and awake.

Winston ChurchillIf I were not an atheist I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God God God and whose every deed is foul foul foul.
Isaac AsimovWe cannot fashion our children after our desires we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheDevotional singing induces in you a desire for experiencing the truth, to glimpse the beauty that is God, to taste the bliss that is the Self. It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his real Self.

Swami VivekanandaSelfless Love is only with God.

Sai BabaIn fact there is no strength superior to Love, where Love is there everything is. So you must live in God, and live in Love, then everything shall be right. You must make others also live in Love.
Sai BabaThe knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.
Blaise PascalThe fault is in the mirror that reflects the mind that perceives the brain that infers. What the mirror presents as true has no authenticity.

Sai BabaDear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble, in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor HugoNow it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bog-gglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist ' says God `for proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing.' `But ' says Man `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist and so therefore by your own arguments you don't. QED.' `Oh dear ' says God `I hadn't thought of that ' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic. `Oh that was easy ' says Man and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Douglas AdamsOf all the human values three are most important. The foremost is love of God. Where there is love there is sacrifice. There arises purity of heart. There should be a fusion of love sacrifice and purity. They are not mere human qualities. They constitute vital organs of a human being. They are as essential for a human being as the head hands and legs for the body. Without these attributes no one is a complete human being.
Sai BabaThe human mind evolved to believe in the gods. It did not evolve to believe in biology.
E. O. WilsonGod made man to go by motives and he will not go without them any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.
Henry Ward BeecherRemember how often you have postponed minding your interest and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of and from what kind of governor of it you are descended, that you have a set period assigned you to act in and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts it will quickly run off with you and be lost beyond recovery.
