#proverbs #english-proverbs

What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists. But to understand that presence, you have to understand your own inner presence first, because it is from there that you can take off, it is from there that you can have the first glimpse of what godliness is. If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh

I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

For piety lies not in being often seen turning a veiled head to stones, nor in approaching every altar, nor in lying prostrate before the temples of the gods, nor in sprinkling altars with the blood of beasts but rather in being able to look upon all things with a mind at peace. ~Lucretius
