Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can. ~George E. Allen
#quotes #george-e-allen

What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists. But to understand that presence, you have to understand your own inner presence first, because it is from there that you can take off, it is from there that you can have the first glimpse of what godliness is. If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh
