To pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings, the divine margin in all attainments.

Awareness of the divine begins with wonder.

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

Awe enables us to see in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.

Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

God is either of no importance, or of supreme importance.

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
