“I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other people's religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up. So I think we ought to all oppose burning the Koran.”
Newt Gingrich

Jena Malone
“I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.”
John Lennon
“Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.”
Bodhidharma
“It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.”
Rumi
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
Rumi
“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.”
Rumi
“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”
Rumi
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”
Mark Twain
