Never do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray - O Lord, help him so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue, and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side, I may follow him.
All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truth that come on high and are contained in the sacred writings.
We may seek God by our intellect, but we only can find Him with our heart. He hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb God will certainly be deaf.
"The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory - is it then a science or a faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special creation - both are concepts which believers know to be true but neither, up to the present, has been capable of proof."
''O you who have gone on pilgramage- where are you,where,oh where? Here,here is the Beloved! Oh come now,come,oh come! Your friend,he is your neighbour, he is next to your wall- You, erring in the desert- what air of love is this?....... ...How sad that you yourself veil the treasure that is yours!''
Well said, especially when something like this happens :)........... ''A priest and bus driver died togather. They go to st. Peter before heaven gate. He allows the bus driver to go to one of the highest heavens but the priest has to wait. After a long wait priest finaly goes to st. Peter and asks: "Why could that bus driver go to the highest heaven and I, who all my life spoke about God, have to wait for such a long time?" St. Peter said: "When you were speaking to the people at your church everybody was sleeping, but when that bus driver was driving everybody prayed!''

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong!!
It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth.' and so it goes away.
Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.
Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.
If any answer, I wouldn't mind being hurt!

All human discoveries seem to be made by chance!!
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinces that it says what he means.
He is always convinces that what he says is right!
''Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for- because unless we stand for something we shall fall for anything.''
Truth, like beauty and contact lenses, is in the eye of the beholder...
Humankind cannot stand very much reality.
No question is difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.
We may seek God by our intellect, but we only can find Him with our heart. He hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb God will certainly be deaf.
I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability!!
I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

'It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one who stand up for it in the face of opposition.''

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
'' ..They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?"
you cannot see the Sun at night!can u?
Eskimo:''If I didnot know about God and sin,would I go to hell?''
Priest:''No,not if you didnot know.''
Eskimo:''Then why did you tell me?''
When we're speaking about seeing beyond the known, all human beings have to walk the same path and pay the same price.
''If you cannot find the truth right where you are,where else do you expect to find it?''
Nowhere?
''O you who have gone on pilgramage-
where are you,where,oh where?
Here,here is the Beloved!
Oh come now,come,oh come!
Your friend,he is your neighbour,
he is next to your wall-
You, erring in the desert-
what air of love is this?.......
...How sad that you yourself veil
the treasure that is yours!''
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,free of mountainous wanting.

''Enough of learning, my friend
For it there is no end.
An alphabet would do for me,
No one knows when one's life would end.''
I agree that life isn't fair. But at least It is fairer than death...
Well said, especially when something like this happens :)...........
''A priest and bus driver died togather.
They go to st. Peter before heaven gate. He allows the bus driver to go to one of the highest heavens but the priest has to wait.

Nice!
"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."
only when it is dark enough, you can see the stars
''The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.''
Why question the true? Question the unclear. Unless you found a doubt in a true sentence and you can prove it.
