When darkness envelopes you, do you not seek for a lamp?
-- Dhammapada
This world after all our sciences remails still a miracle, marvellous, inscrutable, magical and more, for whoever thinks.
-- Carlyle
One beholds it as a mystery, another speaks of it as a mystery, another learns of it as a mystery and even when has learned of it, there is none that knows it.
-- Bhagvad Gita
True royalty consists in spiritual knowledge; turn thy efforts to its attainment.
-- Farid-uddin Attar
Seek and ye shall find.
-- Matthew
To the eyes of men athirst the whole world seems in dream as spring of water.
-- Saadi
Always higher must I mount, higher must I see.
-- Goethe
Wide open to all beings be the gates of the Everlasting.
-- Mahavagga
O Son of earth, be blind and thous shalt see My beauty; be deaf and thou shalt hear My swweet song, My pleasant melody; be ignorant and thou shalt partake My knowledge; be in distress and thou shalt have an eternal portion of the infinite ocean of My riches: - blind to all that is not My beauty, deaf to all that is not My word, ignorant of all that is not My knowledge. Thus with a gaze that is pure, a spirit without stain, an understanding refined, thou shalt enter into My sacred presence.
-- Bahaullah
All wisdome is one: to understand the spirit that rules all by all.
-- Heraclitus
Being but one, she is capable of all; immutable in herself, she renews all things; she diffuses herself among the nations in saintly souls.
-- Book of Wisdom
The dayspring from on high has visted us, to give light to them that sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of the peace.
-- Luke
Whatsoever things were written afforetime, were written for our learning.
-- Romans
True knowledge does not grow old, so have declared the sages of all times.
-- Pali Canon
May the partisans of all doctrines in all countries unite and live in a common fellowship. For all alike profess mystery to be attained over oneself and purity of the heart.
-- Inscriptions of Asoka
There is only one Ethics, as there is only one geometry. But the majority of men, it will be said, are ignorant of geometry. Yes, but as soon as they begin to apply themselves a little to that science, all are in agreement. Cultivators, workmen, artisans have not gone through courses in ethics; they have not read Cicero or Aristotle, but the moment they become to think on the subject they become, without knowing it the disciples of Cicero. The Indian Dyer, the Tartar shephard and the English sailor know what is just and what is unjust. Confucious did not invent a system of Ethics as one invents a system of physics. He had discovered it in the heart of all mankind.
-- Voltaire
The sage's rule of moral conduct has its principle in the hearts of all men.
-- Tseng Tse
There is a primary law, eternal, invariable, engraved in the hearts of all; it is the Right Reason. Never does it speak in vain to the virtuous man, whether it ordains or prohibits. The wicked alone are untouched by its voice. It is easy to be understood and is not different in one country and in another; it is today what it will be tomorrow and for all time.
-- Cicero
Language is different but Man is the same everywhere. That is why spoken Reason is one and through its translation we see it to be the same in Egypt, in Persia and in Greece.
-- Hermes
But in what circumstances does our reason teach us that there is vice and virtue? How does this continual mystery work? Tell me, inhabitants of the Malay Archipelago, Africans, Canadians and you, Plato, Cicero, Epitectus! You all feel equally that it is better to give away the superfluity of your bread, of your rice or your manioc to the indigent than to kill him or tear out his eyes. It is evident to all on earthh that an act of benevolence is better than an act of outrage, that gentleness is preferable to wratj. We have merely to use our Reason in order to discern the shades whiich distinguish right and wrong. Good and Evil are often close neighbours and our passions confuse them. Who will enlighten us? WE OURSELVES when we are calm.
-- Voltaire.
I order to live a happy life, man should understand what life is and what he can or cannot do. The best and wisest men in all nations have taught it to us from all times. All the doctrines of the sages meet in their foundation and it is this general sum of their doctrines, revealing the aim of human life and the conduct to be pursued, that constitutes real religion.
-- Leo Tolstoy
No man has a right to constrain others to think like himself. Each must bear with patience and indulgence the belief of others.
-- Giordano Bruno
To compel men to fo what appears good to oneself is the best means of making them disgusted with it.
-- Leo Tolstoy
As one can go upto the top of the house by means of a ladder, a bamboo or a flight of stairs, so are there various means for approaching the Eternal and each religion in the world shows only one of such means.
-- Ramkrishna Paramhansa
A truly religious man ought to think that the other religions are also paths leading towards the Reality. We should always maintain an attitude of respect towards all religions.
-- Ramkrishna Paramhansa
The Catholic is our brother but the materialist not less. We owe him deference as to the greatest of believers.
-- Antoine the Healer
At a certain stage in the path of devotion the religious man finds satisfaction in the Divinity with a form, at another stage in the formless Impersonal.
-- Ramkrishna Paramhansa
Bow down and adore where others bend the knee; for where so great a number of men pay the tribute of their adoration, the Impersonal must manifest Himself, for He is all compassion.
-- Ramkrishna Paramhansa
The ordinary man says in his ignorance, "My religion is the sole religion, my religion is the best." But when the heart is illumined by the true knowledge, he knows that beyond all battles of the sects and of sectaries presides the one, indivisible, eternal and omniscent Benediction.
-- Ramkrishna Paramhansa
We fight to win sublime Wisdom; therefore men call us warriors.
-- Book of Wisdom
Put Wisdom at the head of the world; the world will fight its battle victoriously and will be the best world that men can constitute.
-- Thomas Carlyle.
This Wisdom is the principle of all things.
-- Zohar
Wisdom is a thing of which one can never have enough.
-- Minokhired
In this state of pure felicity the soul is enlarged and the material substance that is subject to her profiteth also.
-- Tseng Tse
Wisdom is greater than all terrestrial sciences and then all human knowledge. She renders a man indifferent to the joys of the world and permits him to consider with an impassive heart their precipitous and tumultous course.
-- Fa-ken-pi-u
A happy life is the fruit of wisdom achieved; life bearable, of wisdom commenced.
-- Seneca
The desire for sidom leads us to the Eternal Kingdom.
-- Book of Wisdom
Wisdom is like unto a beacon set on high, which radiates its light even in the darkest night.
-- Japanese Buddhist Meditations
That which satisfies the soul is the wisdom which governs the world.
-- Lalita Vistara
As the light of a torch illumines the objects in a dark room, even so the light if wisdom illumines all men, whosoever they be, if they turn towards it.
-- Fo-shu-hing-tsan-king
The beginning of wisdom is a sincere design for instruction. To observe attentively its laws is to establish the perfect purity of the soul.

Eternal Wisdom builds: I shall be in her palace when she finds repose in me and I in her.
-- Angelus Silesius
