On God
\n-During those times when God gives us everything we believe that we don\u2019t need God.
\n-When we are disappointed by everyone on earth, we turn to God who will never disappoint us.
\n-At times we get very interested in the deeds of men and forget to observe the far more interesting deeds of God.
\n-God has all the answers. He knows the Cause, the Result, the Time and the Place.<\/p>\n

On love
\n-Love doesn\u2019t care about practicalities.
\n-What is so often described as a broken heart is in fact a broken ego. <\/p>\n

On greed
\n-One shouldn’t go digging for gold when one has already found diamonds.<\/p>\n
