For many of us the march from Selma to Montgomery was about protest and prayer. Legs are not lips and walking is not kneeling. And yet our legs uttered songs. Even without words, our march was worship. I felt my legs were praying.

The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living.

Worship is a way of seeing the world in the light of God.

The degree to which one is sensitive to other people's suffering, to other (people's) humanity, is the index of one's own humanity

In the midst of our applauding the feats of civilization, the Bible flings itself like a knife slashing our complacency; remind us that God, too, has a voice in history.

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.

We do not step out of the world when we pray; we merely see the world in a different setting. The self is not the hub but the spoke of the revolving wheel. It is precisely the function of prayer to shift the center of living from self-consciousness to self-surrender.
