A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.

I support mosques, obviously. We need churches, temples, mosques. Whatever people use to speak with their god or to receive spiritual inspiration is good for the country. But the symbolism of it at ground zero, within two blocks or three blocks, I believe is wrong.

I'm fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes - the finer things of life - would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.

I always wanted to get married with just candles! I think candlelight is the most beautiful light there is and there's something very spiritual about it.

Throughout the past, there has been a lack of intimacy, affection, and regard for Islam by Christianity. This, to a large extent, has been due to a lack of knowledge of the great human and spiritual ideals for which Islam and the teachings of Islam stand.

Maybe I'm being philosophical and spiritual, but I believe that if you put negative energy out there that that is what will come back.

By laughing at me, the audience really laughs at themselves, and realizing they have done this gives them sort of a spiritual second wind for going back into the battles of life.

The best part of one's life is the working part, the creative part. Believe me, I love to succeed... However, the real spiritual and emotional excitement is in the doing.

There is nothing besides a spiritual world; what we call the world of the senses is the Evil in the spiritual world, and what we call Evil is only the necessity of a moment in our eternal evolution.

Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.

The decisive moment in human evolution is perpetual. That is why the revolutionary spiritual movements that declare all former things worthless are in the right, for nothing has yet happened.

The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.

We're spirited and spiritual... and fun follows us around.

Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma.

You can have financial strength, professional strength, emotional strength but for me without spiritual strength none of the rest of it matters.
