What is nature? Art thou not the living government of God? O Heaven, is it in very deed. He then that ever speaks through thee, that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me? ~Thomas Carlyle

And they need not cause you grief. As my Highland grandmother said, and she had the Sight-Tis not the dead ye have to be concerned about! Beware of the Living! And she was a wise woman. The dead are beyond your help or mine, poor things. But the living need us. Thirty souls at the least, Phryne, are still on that island to praise God who might now be angels-or devils. ~Kerry Greenwood

If we stay aware and acknowledge the great mystery that is this life, we will see that we have been perfectly placed, in exactly the right position, to make all the difference in the world. ~James Redfield
#quotes #james-redfield #world #change

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward

Arguing whether or not a God exists is like fleas arguing whether or not the dog exists. Arguing over the correct name for God is like fleas arguing over the name of the dog. And arguing over whose notion of God is correct is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog. ~Robert Fulghum
#quotes #robert-fulghum #god

Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence. ~Aiden Wilson Tozer

I don't know where I come from but I am here now so deal with it. ~Gary Busey
#quotes #gary-busey #existence

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball
