“Reverence the gods, and help men. Short is life.”

“To sanctify God is to reverence Him in our hearts, and to represent Him in the glory of His holiness before men.”

“It is my experience that awareness of the nearness of God and reverence for that power create reverence for self, reverence for the other, reverence for nature and reverence for all of creation.”

“The highest thing in a man is not his god. It's that in him which knows the reverence due a god. You are my highest reverence.”

“Worship is a posture of life that takes as its primary purpose the understanding of what it really means to love and revere God.”

“If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.”

“Of course, however, the living voice and the intimacy of a common life will help you more than the written word. You must go to the scene of action, first, because men put more faith in their eyes than in their ears, and second, because the way is long if one follows precepts, but short and helpful, if one follows patterns.”
Plus tamen tibi et viva vox et convictus quam oratio proderit; in rem praesentem venias oportet, primum quia homines amplius oculis quam auribus credunt, deinde quia longum iter est per praecepta, breve et efficax per exempla.

“.. that men could view as natural, without reverence or awe but to whom such things were natural
because they were statements of peaceful pursuit – and joined in the phenomenon of life”

“If God stops a man on the road, and calls him with a revelation and sends him armed with divine authority among men, they say to him; from whom dost thou come? He answers: from God. But now God cannot help his messenger physically like a king, who gives him soldiers or policemen, or his ring or his signature, which is known to all; in short, God cannot help men by providing them with physical certainty that an Apostle is an Apostle-which would, moreover, be nonsense. Even miracles, if the Apostle has that gift, give no physical certainty; for the miracle is the object of faith.”

“I feel awe of the gods, I love, I revere, I venerate them, and in short have precisely the same feelings towards them as one would have towards kind masters or teachers or fathers or guardians or any beings of that sort.”
