"The pine stays green in winter… wisdom in hardship." "What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes?" More In Religion "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither."― C. S. Lewis "I am a Westerner. We’re not going to change the West by going East. The East has a lot to teach us, but essentially it’s like a mirror, saying, hey, can’t you see what’s here in your own religion, what are you, stupid?"― Matthew Fox "There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it."― George Bernard Shaw
