Greetings!
Favorites of mine:
HINDU FAITH:
"When righteousness is weak and faints, and unrighteousness exults in pride, then my Spirit arises on earth. For the salvation of those who are good, for the destruction of evil in men, for the fulfillment of the kingdom of righteousness, I come to this world from Age to Age."
Bhagavad Gita 4:17
JEWISH FAITH:
"I call Heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou and thy seed may live!"
Deuteronomy 30:19
ZOROASTRIAN FAITH:
"When a thousand two hundred and some years have passed from the inception of the Religion of the Arabian, and the overthrow of the Kingdom of Iran, and the degradation of the followers of my Religion, a descendant of the Iranian kings shall be raised up as a prophet."
Zoroastrian scriptures
BUDDHIST FAITH:
"I am not the first Buddha Who came on earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world, a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom and conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths which I have taught you. He will preach His religion, glorious at the goal, in the spirit, and in the letter. He will proclaim a religious life wholly perfect and pure, such as i now proclaim."
Buddhist scriptures
CHRISTIAN FAITH:
"And now abideth faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love!"
I Corinthians 13:13
MUSLIM FAITH:
"God is the light of the heavens and the earth. His light is like a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp encased in glass, the glass, as it were, a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, of neither the East nor of the West, whose oil is beginning to burst into light, though no fire has touched it. Light upon light, God guideth whomsoever He willeth to His light. And of all things, God is knowing."
Qur'an 24:35
BAHA'I FAITH:
"O SON OF JUSTICE!
"Whither can a lover go but to the land of his beloved? and what seeker findeth rest away from his hearts desire? To the true lover reunion is life, and separation is death. His breast is void of patience and his heart hath no peace. A myriad lives he would forsake to hasten to the abode of his beloved."
