"God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering." ― Saint Augustine Topic(s): God More From Saint Augustine "In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?" "Love is the beauty of the soul." "What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels." More In God "A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything."― Ramakrishna "Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made."― Antoine de Saint-Exupery "God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness."― Aldous Huxley
