Meister Eckhart Quotes
“And some to Meccah turn to pray, and I toward thy bed, Yasmin.”

Eric Hoffer Quotes
“Those of little faith are of little hatred.”
Eric Hoffer Quotes
“Faith, enthusiasm, and passionate intensity in general are substitutes for the self-confidence born of experience and the possession of skill. Where there is the necessary skill to move mountains there is no need for the faith that moves mountains.”
Eric Hoffer Quotes
“In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.”
Eric Hoffer Quotes
“Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.”
Eric Hoffer Quotes
“It needs fanatical faith to rationalize our cowardice.”
Eric Hoffer Quotes
“Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.”
Mahatma Gandhi Quotes
“Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.”
