“I am not religious, but I am a pious man... A religious man has a definite religion. He says "God is there" or "God is there," "God is there." "Your god is not my god, and that's all." But the pious man, he just looks out with awe, and says, "where is God?" And "well, I don't understand it and I would like to know what this creation really means." That is a pious man, who is really touched by the greatness of nature and of the creation.” KnowsMenWellsLooksMeanReligiousCreationGreatnessAweTouchedDefiniteReally MeanPiousGod Is There Author:Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

“The sight of snow made her think how beautiful and short life is and how, in spite of all their enmities, people have so very much in common; measured against eternity and the greatness of creation, the world in which they lived was narrow.

“The genius of a composer is found in the notes of his music; but analyzing the notes will not reveal his genius. The poet's greatness is contained in his words; yet the study of his words will not disclose his inspiration. God reveals himself in creation; but scrutinize creation as minutely as you wish, you will not find God, any more than you will find the soul through careful examination of your body.” SoulBodyInspirationFoundWishStudyCreationGreatnessPoetGeniusNotesCarefulYour BodyComposerExaminationWish YouAnalyzingScrutinize Author:Anthony de Mello

You will find that they exhort you to love and praise God; that they excite you to extol the greatness of the Sovereign Architect Who has given them their being.” IfsMindWholeUniverseGivenSunTreeSkyCreationFieldsGreatnessFlowerListeningDrawsGardenPraiseInnocentArchitectSovereignSermonsRecreationMeadowsPraise God Author:Paul of the Cross

“When, in adoration, we look at the consecrated Host, the sign of creation speaks to us. And so, we encounter the greatness of his gift; but we also encounter the Passion, the Cross of Jesus and his Resurrection.
