- “Find answers in your weakness and surprise in your strength and always remember the golden rule every failure has HOPES” ― Abhishek Shukla, KISS Life “Life is what you make it”
- “Imagination is a confident hope.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita, Pearls of Wisdom: Great mind
- “Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.” ― John Henry Jowett
- “Only Boiled Seeds are afraid of failure.” ― Abhishek Shukla, KISS Life “Life is what you make it”
- “Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
- “Science is getting knocked on all sides these days, not only from religious fundamentalists, but from all kinds of people who perceive science as arrogant, one-sided, and the source of the troubles that come with the technology it produces. It’s true that individuL scientists can be so arrogant and narrowly focused, they’re blind to any but their own truths, and that new discoveries bring new problems with them. Still, I don’t know many people who would refuse a biopsy for a newly discovered lump because they think science needs to be taken down a peg or two.Religion gets knocked for the same kinds of reasons as science: for its arrogance, narowmindedness, and tendency to create more trouble than it’s worth. Religion is also accused of concealing reality under a comforting blanket of measureless faith — the flip side, perhaps of the scientist for whom nothing can be real until she has measured it.My own sojourn into religion convinced me that good religion reveals rather than conceals. Religion is the soul in search of itself and its relationship to the cosmos. This journey requires looking at all of it: the joy, the sorrow, the beauty and the horror of life. We hope for the best. We want meaning and love to exist not only in ourselves, but in the very soul of the universe. At times this great hope might tempt us to pick and choose only the data that supports our desires. But in religion as in boat-building, the design must be tested in all conditions. When I say that I’m trying to pay attention, and that paying attention means being willing to look at all of it, I think I’m trying for the same moment of clarity that Graham experienced when the wind blew all over his theory. Looking at all of it is what good science is about. I believe that it’s also what good religion is about.” ― Margaret McGee
- “The parent is protector and trainer, but never the ultimate teacher. Every parent is responsible for teaching their kid basic moral conduct, manners, the difference between love and hate, and right from wrong. However, after maturity, the child must set off to seek knowledge on their own. Religion is never to be forced. And you cannot threaten your child with hell and tell them your religion is the only right way. There is no one right way. The many ways to the Creator are as varied as the colors of a rainbow.” ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
- “Keep your mind sharp!” ― Anneka Jordan

- “I went to arunagiri yogishwara once. I remember very clearly, there was a death in the tiruvannamalai village. I told him about that important person in the village who died. He smiled and said so casually, ‘he has reached kailasa and is waiting for next birth.’ I asked him, ‘how you are able to take this flow so casually?’He smiled and said, ‘understand, whatever exists outside, exists inside. Whatever exists inside, exists outside. There is a death outside, there is a death inside. If you know how to understand the death dimension of you inside you, will understand the death dimension outside you. You have all the 25 dimensions in you.” ― Paramahamsa Nithyananda

- “There is enough work for everybody.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!
- “Authentic faith leads us to treat others with unconditional seriousness and to a loving reverence for the mystery of the human personality. Authentic Christianity should lead to maturity, personality, and reality. It should fashion whole men and women living lives of love and communion. False, manhandled religion produces the opposite effect. Whenever religion shows contempt or disregards the rights of persons, even under the noblest pretexts, it draws us away from reality and God.” ― Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

- “Things which are accidentally the causes either of hope or fear are called good or evil omens.” ― Baruch Spinoza
- “Hold fast to firm faith.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita
- “When you are happy, so happy you have no sense of needing Him, so happy that you are tempted to feel His claims upon you as an interruption, if you remember yourself and turn to Him with gratitude and praise, you will be — or so it feels— welcomed with open arms. But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside. After that, silence.” ― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
- “A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it’s the most painful thing you’ll ever have to do and that you’ve ever done. But what’s yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it’ll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won’t have to put it back in the sky again.” ― C. JoyBell C.
- “Every interaction is an opportunity to learn, Only if we are interested in improving rather than proving.” ― Abhishek Shukla, Feelings Undefined: The Charm of the Unsaid Vol. 1

He gives security to everyone because he understands the value of being secure!” ― Paramahamsa Nithyananda
- “Have faith have faith. When you have nothing else have faith.” ― Francine Rivers, A Voice in the Wind
- “Listening to the warnings our instincts send out helps a person to know when to advertise all of their secrets, and when to whisper them quietly in the back of the mind.” ― Jessica Marie Baumgartner, The Magic of Nature: Meditations & Spells to Find Your Inner Voice
- “Some people say they will not believe in anything they can’t see. What a catastrophe to not have any faith at all! You live only less than a half of life, if you will only believe in the things that you can see. Life is lived by those who have much faith and believe in many unseen things. If you believe in nothing that you cannot see, think about how much there is that you choose to turn your face away from! You can’t see your soul and you cannot prove that it exists, therefore if you call yourself one who believes in nothing unseen, then you will forever deny your soul its existence, for the existence of the soul dwells in love, trust, anger, passion, faith, belief, strength; the soul is forever nourished by things that are unseen! And so we have too many empty bodies walking around! Bodies with souls inside that are half-dead and dying.” ― C. JoyBell C.
- “It was by faith, nothing wavering, that Joseph saw God our Eternal Father and Jesus Christ, His Son.” ― Thomas S. Monson
