God
(page 8)
The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.
I was trying to be 27 at age 47, but God had to get rid of my vanity. I had trouble letting go of the old Lex physically. My human fleshly nature didn't want to let go of what had come to be billed as 'The Total Package'. I guess God had to help me get rid of the last remnant of that vanity and pride.
I just want people to know out there no matter what they've done, God doesn't judge us on how many sins.
At Harvard I was taking an African-American studies class, and we were reading about the tragic mulatto. Invariably, the tragic mulatto can't fit in either world and flings herself off a bridge. So I'm reading, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, I think I'm in literature', but my life was never like that.
God created the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the waves for our enjoyment. Surfing is just my way of worshipping Him.
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
Every day, I get closer to God. Every day, my will to do the right thing gets stronger.
God is bigger than people think.
Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
All churches and all religions contain aspects of the truth, but only God is truth.
Do not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ.
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
None of us feels the true love of God till we realize how wicked we are. But you can't teach people that — they have to learn by experience.
God made you a masterpiece — be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
