- Rav Kook
• A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.

• A poor devotee points to the sky and says, "God is up there." An average devotee says, "God dwells in the heart as the Inner Master." The best devotee says, "God alone is and everything I perceive is a form of God."
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
• Selfishness may be sweet only for oneself, but no harmony of the whole can come from it.
- Tenrikyo Osashizu
• We seek to find peace of mind in the word, the formula, the ritual. The hope is illusion. Prophecy, however honest, is generally a poor substitute for experience. Justice is not to be taken by storm. She is to be wooed by slow advances.
