"This
is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good,
and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a
negative thought. They can be a powerful influence for good when
they're on the positive side, and they can and do make you physically
ill when they're on the negative side. I don't eat junk foods and I
don't think junk thoughts! Let me tell you, junk thoughts can destroy
you even more quickly than junk food. Junk thoughts are something to be
wary of.”
“Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It
is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God; it is a sincere
seeking for a good thing; and it is a concentration on the thing sought,
with faith that it is obtainable.”
“Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.”
"No longer was I a seed buried under the ground, but I felt as a flower
reaching out effortlessly toward the sun. On that day I became a
wanderer relying upon the goodness of others. It would be a pilgrim's
journey undertaken in the traditional manner: on foot and on faith."
"Tremendous energy comes with anger. It's sometimes called the anger
energy. Do not suppress it: that would hurt you inside. Do not express
it: this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your
surroundings.What you do is transform it."
“There is no greater block to world peace or inner peace than fear. What
we fear we tend to develop an unreasoning hatred for, so we come to
hate and fear. This not only injures us psychologically and aggravates
world tension, but through such negative concentration we tend to
attract the things we fear. If we fear nothing and radiate love, we can
expect good things to come. How much this world needs the message and
example of love and of faith!”
"That which is received from without can be compared with knowledge. It
leads to believing, which is seldom strong enough to motivate to action.
That which is confirmed from within after it is contacted from without,
or that which is directly perceived from within (which is my way) can
be compared with wisdom. It leads to a knowing, and action goes right
along with it."
"Do you know God? Do you know there is a power greater than
ourselves which manifests itself within us as well as everywhere else
in the universe? This I call God. Do you know what it is to
know God, to have God's constant guidance, a constant
awareness of God's presence? To know God is to reflect love
toward all people and all creations.To know God is to feel
peace within—a calmness, a serenity, an unshakeableness which
enables you to face any situation. To know God is to be so
filled with joy that it bubbles over and goes forth to bless
the world."
"When my folks put me to bed they would say to me very wisely, "It gets
dark so that it will be restful for you to sleep. Now go to sleep
in the nice friendly, restful darkness." And so to me darkness has
always seemed to be friendly and restful. And when I'm either
walking all night to keep warm or sleeping beside the road,
there I am, in the nice, friendly restful darkness."
"I had created sufficient age when I started out January 1, 1953, and I
said, "that's enough." From that time on I thought of myself as being
ageless and in radiant health, and I am. I haven't gotten younger, but I
see no point in getting younger. I can get along just fine as I am, and
if you have learned the lessons of the seasons of life before, you
really have no wish to return to a prior season of life."
"How good it is to work in the invigorating fresh air under the life-giving sun amid the inspiring beauty of nature."
