I do not find it easy to articulate thoughts about religion. I remain the sort of person who turns off 'Thought for the Day' when it comes on the radio.
Religion must completely encircle the spirit of ethical man like his element and this luminous chaos of divine thoughts and feelings is called enthusiasm.
Skeptical scrutiny is the means in both science and religion by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
We feel unsatisfied until we know ourselves akin even with that greatness which made the spots on which it rested hallowed and until by our own lives and by converse with the thoughts they have bequeathed us we feel that union and relationship of the spirit which we seek.
Thoughts have power thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.
Except our own thoughts there is nothing absolutely in our power.
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are you would never think a negative thought.
You should tell yourself frequently 'I will only react to constructive suggestions.' This gives you positive ammunition against your own negative thoughts and those of others.
It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones you'll start having positive results.
A theology should be like poetry which takes us to the end of what words and thoughts can do.
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance.
Poetry is thoughts that breathe and words that burn.
Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance.
Every animal has his or her story his or her thoughts daydreams and interests. All feel joy and love pain and fear as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.
May we be saved from evil thoughts and deed of enemies of world peace who find pleasure in creating havoc and perpetrating all forms of carnage.
There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace?
Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it everything fades away: your worries your problems your thoughts. They fade into the smoke and the cigar and you are at peace.
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
Because people have no thoughts to deal in they deal cards and try and win one another's money. Idiots!
I had said to some pastor that I was having thoughts and the church turned on me. They went to my mom and said So sorry about your son.
More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.
