1. An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
“It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.”
2. It’s the quality of your life that matters not the speed with which you live.
“There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.”
3. You’ve got to have a sense of humor to keep your sanity.
“If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.”
4. Always do the right thing even if nobody is watching.
“It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”
5. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs.
“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”
6. God has no religion.
“God has no religion.”
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
“I believe in the fundamental Truth of all the great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God given. I came to the conclusion long ago… that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them.”
7. Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
“Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.”
8. Faith is the food of the Soul.
“Just as the body cannot exist without blood, so the soul needs the matchless and pure strength of faith”
9. Never lose faith in humanity.
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
10. Truth and love always triumphs.
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained.”
