More From Walter Scott

When we shout at the oak tree, the oak tree is not offended. when we praise the oak tree, it doesn't raise its nose. we can learn the dharma from the oak tree; therefore, the oak tree is part of our dharmakaya. we can learn from everything that is around, that is in us.
Tree Noses Praise
Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

An oak tree is an oak tree. that is all it has to do. if an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.

Demean thyself more warily in thy study than in the street. if thy public actions have a hundred witnesses, thy private have a thousand. the multitude looks but upon thy actions; thy conscience looks into them: the multitude may chance to excuse thee, if not acquit thee; thy conscience will accuse thee, if not condemn thee.
Retirement Looks May
If with love thy heart has burned; if thy love is unreturned; hide thy grief within thy breast, though it tear thee unexpressed; for when love has once departed from the eyes of the false-hearted, and one by one has torn off quite the bandages of purple light; though thou wert the loveliest form the soul had ever dressed, thou shalt seem, in each reply, a vixen to his altered eye; thy softest pleadings seem too bold, thy praying lute will seem to scold; though thou kept the straightest road, yet thou errest far and broad.
Love Grief Heart
God is alpha and omega in the great world: endeavor to make him so in the little world; make him thy evening epilogue and thy morning prologue; practice to make him thy last thought at night when thou sleepest, and thy first thought in the morning when thou awakest; so shall thy fancy be sanctified in the night, and thy understanding rectified in the day; so shall thy rest be peaceful, thy labors prosperous, thy life pious, and thy death glorious.

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. but an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. the theory says a lot, but does not bring us any closer to the secrets of the "old one." i, at any rate, am convinced that he is not playing at dice.
God Real Voice
The history of the cosmos is the history of the struggle of becoming. when the dim flux of unformed life struggled, convulsed back and forth upon itself, and broke at last into light and dark came into existence as light, came into existence as cold shadow then every atom of the cosmos trembled with delight.

Our belief in god is not blind faith. belief is having a firm conviction something is true, not hoping it's true.

Cowardice is not a sign of belief in god.
