Do not say the Vedas, Bible, and Qur'an are true. Those who rise to contemplate them are true.

Here's a quote from our Unitarian Universalist hymnal... adaptation of "For the Beauty of the Earth"
"For the joy of human care,
sister, brother, parent, child,
for the kinship we all share,
for all gentle thoughts and mild:
Source of all, to thee we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise."
-- 21 For the Beauty of the Earth, fourth stanza ('Singing the Living Tradition')

"My dear Aditi, engage in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the master of everything, who can subdue everyone's enemies, and who sits within everyone's heart. Only that Supreme Person — Krishna, or Vāsudeva — can bestow all auspicious benedictions upon everyone, for He is the spiritual master of the universe."

"O Supreme Personality of Godhead, greatest of all, who lives in everyone's heart and in whom everyone lives, O witness of everything, O Vāsudeva, supreme and all-pervading person, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You."

"There is, O monks, an Unborn, Unoriginated, Uncreated, Unformed. Were there not, O monks, this Unborn, Unoriginated, Uncreated, Unformed, there would be no escape from the world of the born, originated, created, formed. Since, O monks, there is an Unborn, Unoriginated, Uncreated, Unformed, therefore is there an escape from the born, originated, created, formed. What is dependant, that also moves; what is independent does not move"- Buddha (Udana 8:3)

Haply thou mayest soar on the wings of renunciation to those heights that are veiled from the eyes of men.
“Verily God doeth whatsoever He willeth, and ordaineth whatsoever He pleaseth.”
He is and hath ever been veiled in the ancient eternity of His Essence, and will remain in His Reality everlastingly hidden from the sight of men. “No vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision; He is the Subtile, the All-Perceiving. His presence or His absence; inasmuch as by a word of His command all that are in heaven and on earth have come to exist, and by His wish, which is the Primal Will itself, all have stepped out of utter nothingness into the realm of being, the world of the visible.

"The Tongue of Wisdom proclaimeth:
He that hath Me not is bereft of all things.
Turn ye away from all that is on earth and seek none else but Me.
I am the Sun of Wisdom and the Ocean of Knowledge.
I cheer the faint and revive the dead.
I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way.
I am the royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty.
I unfold the drooping wings of every broken bird and start it on its flight."
-- Baha'u'llah

"One should be satisfied with whatever he achieves by his previous destiny, for discontent can never bring happiness. A person who is not self-controlled will not be happy even with possessing the three worlds."

In reality every day which man passes in the mention of God, the diffusion of the fragrances of God and calling the people to the Kingdom of God, that day is his feast. (Baha'i)
"So he who does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom’s weight of evil will see it." (Surah)
"See that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone." (James 2:24)

God is Self and Self is God and God is a Person like Myself - Feri Tradition
As for you, Gilgamesh. Savor your food. Make each of your days a delight. Bathe and anoint yourself. Wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean. Let music and dancing fill your house. Love the child who holds you by the hand and give your wife pleasure in your embrace. That is the best way for a man to live. - Epic of Gilgamesh
And mine eye trickleth down and ceaseth not, without any intermission. - Lamentations 3:49

Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.' Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
He said, "He who showed mercy on him."
Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

I also like the Baha'i Long Healing Prayer but it'd take me five posts to put up the whole thing.

Why not? This quotes thread is for a) getting more postage,
and b) sharing those inspirations with others! ^__^
