A kind word of forgiveness is
better
than charity accompanied by insults.
God is self-sufficient and merciful.
-Qur'an, Al-Baqara, Surah 2:263
******************
O Lord of creatures, Father of all beings,
you alone pervade all that has come to birth.
Grant us our heart’s desire for which we pray.
May we become the lords of many treasures!
Hindu-Rig Veda
**************************
He is the source of all powers of
life.
He is the lord of all, the great seer Who
dwells forever in the cosmic womb. May he
purify our consciousness! O Lord, in whom alone
we can find peace, May we see your divine Self
and be freed From all impure thoughts and all fear.
-Shvetashvatara Upanishad
****************
I
seek refuge in Allah from knowledge
that brings no wisdom, from a heart that
lacks kindness, from desires that bring discontent,
and from supplications that go unanswered.
-The Prophet Muhammad,
as reported by Abu Hurairah
