Of all human activities man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.

The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

What is human warfare but just this an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

God sent Jesus as an example to see if we could retain and maintain the Holy Spirit in human flesh.

God who is eternally complete who directs the stars who is the master of fates who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage everything that binds vanishes and I am free.

How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.

No I think the future of humanity will be like the past we'll do what we've always done and there will still be human beings. Granted there will always be people doing something different and there are a lot of possibilities.

The law of humanity ought to be composed of the past the present and the future that we bear within us whoever possesses but one of these terms has but a fragment of the law of the moral world.

Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature.

The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.
