John Stott

Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross.

For the quality of owning freezes you forever into "I", and cuts you off forever from the "we".

John Steinbeck

The quality of owning freezes you forever in "I," and cuts you off forever from the "we.

The body is a very delicate phenomenon and it needs a very well balanced diet.

Rajneesh

Meditation is simply a strange surgical method that cuts you away from all that is not yours and saves only that which is your authentic being.
