The Holy Bible

God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each others, passing on to others God's many blessings. [1 Peter 4:10] LB
God works through different people in different ways, but it is the same God who achieves his purpose through them all. [1 Corinthians 12:6 ] PH
We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18] NIV
Let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back. [Hebrews 12:1] LB
There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear. [1 John 4:18] TEV
I am your creator. You were in my care even before you were born. [Isaiah 44:2] CEV
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7].
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek; and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [Matthew 7:7-8].
19 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day
dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. [2 Peter 1:19] (New International Version)
He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor. [Proverbs 21:21]
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips. [Provers 24-26]
33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see
the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body is also full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is
full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be
completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you. [Luke 11:33-36]
20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your
careful observation, 21 nor will people say "Here it is," or "There it is," because the kingdom of God is within you."
[Luke 17:20-21]
Albert Einstein
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the
gift."
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to
hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who
can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction
between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
"The scientists' religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority
that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. "
"There is no logical way to the discovery of elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the
appearance. "
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
something separated from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. "
"Imagination is more important than knowledge"
"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
"Only a life lived for others is a life worth while."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the
mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never
lose a holy curiosity."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
"Great souls are they who see that spiritual is stronger than material force, that thoughts rule the world."
Mahatma Ghandi
"Keep your thoughts positive because they become your words. Keep your words positive because they become your behavior. Keep your behavior
positive because they become your habits. Keep your habits positive because they become your values. Keep your values positive because they
become your destiny."
Wayne Dyer
"Heaven on Earth is a choice, you must make, not a place you must find."
Mohandas Ghandi
"Each one has to find his peace from within, and peace - to be real - must be unaffected by outside circumstances."
Plato
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."
