Religion and Spirituality

Maybe thats why people are still saying; It was a hell of a reunion

'What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.'

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

'It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.'

~ Oscar Wilde

'Before God, we are all equally wise ~ and equally foolish.'

~ Albert Einstein

"Einstein should stop telling God what to do."

Enrico Fermi

And yet another disbeliever in the closeness between God and Einstein.....Poor Enrico.....

'God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.'

~ Isak Dinesen

'God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers,
And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face,
A guantlet with a gift in it.'

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

'If you want to know what god thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.'

~ Dorothy Parker

(I'd love to hear feedback from this quote.)

'Not all those who wander are lost.'

~ Unknown

'Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.'

~ Muhammad Ali

'Each small task of everyday is part of the total harmony of the universe.'

~ St. Therese of Lisieux

"Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth." - Ludwig Borne

Doesn't that "not all those who wander are lost" come from The Lord of the Rings?

Since I am struggling financially at present, I believe I have too much of a vested interest in the Parker quote to comment!

Sour grapes and all.....

When you have grapes.....make wine.....

Not sure about the quote, Deb (from LOTR) ~ I've seen it attributed to a few people. I've had it taped into a book I've had for twenty some odd years. So I dunno, kiddo.

Rae's quote:
Truly, wandering does not mean 'lost'- mostly, it is feasting.

To move steadily from one place to another, (wandering) however aimlessly; affords one no time to linger over chocolate, lattes, eclairs or sticky chips- hence, the rolling stone gathers no 'excess'.
Thus,
the feasting described is that of the spirit, through sound, touch, scents of glory...
Oh wander on dear soul...

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge." - - Albert Einstein

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." - - Albert Einstein
