Spiritual life begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of what is eternal in time Picture Quote #1

Wonder, or radical amazement, is a way of going beyond what is given in thing and thought, refusing to take anything for granted, to regard anything as final. It is our honest response to the grandeur and mystery of reality our confrontation with that which transcends the given Picture Quote #1

Ultimately there is no power to narcissistic, self indulgent thinking. Authentic thinking originates with an encounter with the world Picture Quote #1

The supremacy of expediency is being refuted by time and truth. Time is an essential dimension of existence defiant of man's power, and truth reigns in supreme majesty, unrivaled, inimitable, and can never be defeated Picture Quote #1

Being as we know it, the world as we come upon it, stands before us as otherness, remoteness. For all our efforts to exploit or comprehend it, it remains evasive, mysteriously immune. Being is unbelievable Picture Quote #1

Being is both presence and absence. God had to conceal His presence in order to bring the world into being. He had to make His absence possible in order to make room for the world's presence. Coming into being brought along denial and defiance, absence, oblivion and resistance Picture Quote #1

Being is transcended by a concern for being. Our perplexity will not be solved by relating human existence to a timeless, subpersonal abstraction which we call essence. We can do justice to human being only by relating it to the transcendent care for being Picture Quote #1

Faith opens our hearts for the entrance of the holy. It is almost as though God were thinking for us Picture Quote #1

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves Picture Quote #1

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair Picture Quote #1

Self respect is the fruit of discipline Picture Quote #1

To be spiritual is to be amazed Picture Quote #1

A religious man is a person... whose greatest passion is compassion Picture Quote #1

The essence of man is not what he is, but in what he is able to be Picture Quote #1

Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart Picture Quote #1

Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one’s actions Picture Quote #1

Acceptance is appreciation, and the high value of appreciation is such that to appreciate appreciation seems to be the fundamental prerequisite for survival. Mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation Picture Quote #1

The issue of prayer is not prayer; the issue of prayer is God. One cannot pray unless he has faith in his own ability to accost the infinite, merciful, eternal God Picture Quote #1

God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light Picture Quote #1

Faith is an awareness of divine mutuality and companionship, a form of communion between God and man. It is not a psychical quality, something that exists in the mind only, but a force from the beyond Picture Quote #1

Being points beyond itself. Accustomed to think in terms of space, the expression being points beyond itself may be taken to denote a higher point in space. What is meant, however, is a higher category than being: the power of maintaining being Picture Quote #1

There are many creeds but only one faith. Creeds may change, develop, and grow flat, while the substance of faith remains the same in all ages. The overgrowth of creed may bring about the disintegration of that substance. The proper relation is a minimum of creed and a maximum of faith Picture Quote #1

There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern Picture Quote #1

The idea of dependence is an explanation, whereas self-sufficiency is an unprecedented, nonanalogous concept in terms of what we know about life within nature. Is not self sufficiency itself insufficient to explain self sufficiency? Picture Quote #1
