“Father God, we thank you for your grace and your mercy, for allowing us to be together under your covenant and God we thank you for the revelations and for the breakthroughs; for your direction and for your healing. We thank you God for the opportunity to just be a vessel for your kingdom. God we trust you, we love you, we honor you, and all glory is yours. Amen”
Germany Kent

Frances E. Willard
“If women patronize the wheel the number of buyers will be twice as large. If women ride they must, when riding, dress more rationally than they have been wont to do. If they do this many prejudices as to what they may be allowed to wear will melt away. Reason will gain upon precedent and ere long the comfortable, sensible, and artistic wardrobe of the rider will make the conventional style of woman's dress absurd to the eye and unenduring to the understanding. A reform often advances most rapidly by indirection. An ounce of practice is worth a ton of theory; and the graceful and becoming costume of woman on the bicycle will convince the world that has brushed aside the theories, no matter how well constructed, and the arguments, no matter how logical, of dress-reformers.”
Frances E. Willard, How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle: Reflections of an Influential 19th Century Woman

“Some people would not be practicing some things if they had not preached them.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Lahiri Mahasaya
“He only is wise who devotes himself to realizing, not reading only, the ancient revelations.

Solve all your problems through meditation.
Exchange unprofitable speculations for actual God-communion.

Clear your mind of dogmatic theological debris; let in the fresh, healing waters of direct perception.

Attune yourself to the active inner Guidance; the Divine Voice has the answer to every dilemma of life.

“The number of people who believe in religious teachings far outweighs that of those who practice them.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“No one should have to pass someone else's ideological purity test to be allowed to speak. University life- along with civic life- dies without the free exchange of ideas. In the face of intimidation, educators must speak up, no shut down. Ours is a position of unique responsibility: We teach people not what to think, but how to think. Realizing and accepting this has made me- an eminently replaceable, untenured, gay, mixed-race woman with PTSD- realize that no matter the precariousness of my situation, I have a responsibility to model the appreciation of difference and care of thought I try to foster in my students. If I, like so many colleagues nationwide, am afraid to say what I think, am I not complicit in the problem? [Lucia Martinez Valdivia]”

Ludvig Holberg
“Christus den store og rette Lære-Mester blev af GUD skikked ned paa Jorden, for at drive paa de store Naturens Bud, som vare satte til Side, og haver viset, at ved det Ord Næste ikke maa forstaaes en Medborger alleene, men et hvert Menneske. GUD give, at vi Christne havde efterlevet vor Lære-Mesters og Apostlernes Lærdom herudi!”
Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

Ludvig Holberg
“Hvis I ville tillade os at sige den reene Sandhed, da ansee I os heller som eders egne end som eders Religions Fiender; thi hvis I elskede eders Religion, efterlevede I dens Lærdom. Til Slutning maa vi erindre dette, at, hvis Efterkommere holde for at Europa udi vor Tid har været polered, da vil man citere eder for at vise, at vi have levet i Barbariske Tider, og den Idée som man giør sig af eders Opførsel, vil sværte den Alder, som vi leveudi.”
Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

Ludvig Holberg
“I Herrer Inqvisiteurs tordne mod Keyseren af Japan, efterdi han fordømmer til Baal og Brand alle Christne, som findes i hans Lande. Men han kand sige til sit Forsvar: Vi handle med eder ligesom I handle med andre. I kand ikke klage uden over Eders egen Afmagt, hvilken alleene hindrer eder at udrødde os, og som foraarsager, at vi udrødde eder.”
Ludvig Holberg

Ludvig Holberg
“I skille eder ved den Fordeel, som eders Religions Principia giver eder over Mahomedaner. Naar de bryste sig af deres Troendes store Mængde, svare I dem, at saadant er erhvervet ved Magt, og at de have fortplantet deres Religion med Sværd. Hvi søge I da at forplante eders ved Baal og Brand.”
Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

Ludvig Holberg
“I ville, at vi skal være Christne, og I ville selv ikke være det. Men, hvis I ville ikke være Christne, saa værer i det ringeste Mennisker. Handle med os i det ringeste ligesom I ingen anden Religion havde end den, som Naturens Lys dicterer.”
Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

Ludvig Holberg
“Guld er Guld, hvor det end findes, og Lærdom er Lærdom, af hvis Mund den end flyder; Forskiellen alleene kand være, at dens Lærdom, hvis Levnet svarer dertil, opbygger meer, end en andens, der intet andet haver at beraabe sig paa, uden paa den Ære at være indskreven udi Kirkens Matricul, og at han haver faaet Ret til at igiennemhegle Mennesker for det, som han dagligen selv øver.”
Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“We know way too many words of wisdom, but perform all too few actions of wisdom.”

“Many of us have all of the answers for other people. So why can’t we step outside of ourselves for a moment and access what we need to do as well? Take your own advice. You’ll get even further with less resistance in the way.”
