*
To be a light to others you will need a good dose of the spiritual life. Because as my mother used to say, if you are in a good place, then you can help others; but if you're not well, then go look for somebody who is in a good place who can help you.
-- Rigoberta Menchú

* A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
-- Thomas Merton

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.
-- Thomas Merton

* "For me there is no hope without faith. Faith in a higher good. Faith in our own divinity."
-- Alyssa Milano

* The Interfaith Alliance has to become an ongoing sustaining and powerful movement whose interest is to prove that religion has a healing side as well as a killing side, and that democracy is the consequence of conscience
-- Bill Moyers

* The world’s major religions in the end all want the same thing, even though they were born in different places and circumstances on this planet. What the world needs today is a convergence of the different religions in the search for and definition of the cosmic or divine laws which ought to regulate our behavior on this planet.
-- Robert Muller

In my mind, the purpose of education is to enable human beings to develop to their full potential, intellectually and spiritually. That means that students have to be empowered to pursue self-knowledge and the skills that will help them be of service to their fellow human beings. Education should encourage people to develop their curiosity about life; above all, it should not trivialize either the students or their lives.
-- Michael Nagler

"Mental conflict and emotional states around an issue tie up energy, which is then no longer available for creative problem solving. Anger is a complex emotion which is a cry for love and understanding. The ultimate alchemy is releasing those prickly emotions inside to become a person of emotional balance who is capable of loving and being loved and connecting with your deepest spiritual nature and your True-Self."
-- Lynne Namka (AngriesOut.com)

* "Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul… Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people."
-- Jawaharlal Nehru

* "As believers we all have an opportunity and moral obligation to recognize our spiritual common ground; to rise above our differences; to combat prejudice and intolerance."
-- Queen Noor of Jordan

I was able to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death; rather, it was an active, palpable agent in the world.
-- Barack Obama

* Faith is not just something you have, it's something you do.
-- Barack Obama

* "When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."
-- Peace Pilgrim

"Be a sweet melody in the great orchestration, instead of a discordant note. The medicine this sick world needs is love. Hatred must be replaced by love, and fear by faith that love will prevail."
-- Peace Pilgrim

* "When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."
-- Peace Pilgrim
“Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.”
-- Bonnie Raitt

* Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
-- Carl Sagan

* "So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality."
-- Susan Sarandon

What interfaith seeks to do is to not allow religion to fall back into confrontational modes, into contemporary crusades and jihads, rather to move onwards to a new level of interfaith harmony and understanding."
-- Dr. Karen Singh

Radical transformation of society requires personal and spiritual change first or at least simultaneously
-- Sulak Sivaraksa

* People seeking to live spiritually must be concerned with their social and physical environment.
-- Sulak Sivaraksa

* "I would like the church to be a place where the questions of people are honored rather than a place where we have all the answers. The church has to get out of propaganda. The future will involve us in more interfaith dialogue. ... We cannot say we have the only truth."
-- Bishop John Shelby Spong

* “Seek the truly practical life, but seek it in such a way that it does not blind you to the spirit working in it. Seek the spirit, but seek it not out of spiritual greed, but so that you may apply it in the genuinely practical life.”
-- Rudolf Steiner

“Reverence awakens in the soul a sympathetic power through which we attract qualities in the beings around us, which would otherwise remain concealed.”
-- Rudolf Steiner

-- Maurice Strong

* “Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.”
-- David Suzuki

''We're talking about calling the entire world of religion into a global dialogue,''
-- Bishop William E. Swing
