Temples are an expression of God's love
Jean A. Stevens
Image
Temples have their images and we see what influence they have always had over a great part of mankind. But, in truth, the ideas and images in men's minds are the invisible powers that constantly govern them and to these they all pay universally a ready submission.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Temples and churches have become social centers. They have lost their original purpose because the minds of the people are more attracted to worldly things than to prayer. The lips repeat the prayer mechanically like a phonograph record, but the mind wanders to other places. (23-24)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Temples are like spiritual hospitals, and the sinful, who are spiritually diseased, have the first right to be ministered to by them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Temples are places of personal revelation. When I have been weighed down by a problem or a difficulty, I have gone to the House of the Lord with a prayer in my heart for answers. The answers have come in clear and unmistakable ways.
Ezra Taft Benson
Image
Temples also take into consideration an ability to pay and, in a general sense, do not turn people away if there's a need,.
Allan Sherman
Image
Temples are more than stone and mortar. They are filled with faith and fasting. They are built of trials and testimonies. They are sanctified by sacrifice and service.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Among these temples there is one which far surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe for within its precincts, surrounded by a lofty wall, there is room enough for a town of five hundred families.
Hernando Cortes
Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do everything as if He were dwelling in us. Thus we shall be His temples and He will be within us as our God - as He actually is.
Ignatius of Antioch
Image
There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.
Christopher Alexander
Image
She did nothing to try to control the shakes that rattled her body,and didn't attempt to stop herself from crying. Tears left both of her eyes at the far corners,slipping out and flowing over her temples.Some landed in her ears. Some eased down her neck and were absorbed by the pillow.Others clouded her vision,as if they didn't want to leave home.
J.R. Ward
Image
Most universities are no longer temples of knowledge, but of power, and true moderns worship there.
Dean Koontz
Image
Artists like Bach and Beethoven erected churches and temples on the heights. I only wantedto build dwellings for men in which they might feel happy and at home
Edvard Grieg
Image
Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure.
Edward Thorndike
Image
Truth is not over there, wherever over there is. Truth is neither housed in religious rituals nor secret doctrines, nor in a guru's touch or beatific smile, nor in exotic locations or ancient temples. Truth is quite literally the only thing that does exist. It is not hidden but in plain view, not lacking but abundantly present.
Adyashanti
Image
We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?
Francis Bacon
Image
We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).
Alain de Botton
Image
So many creeds like the weeds in the sod - so many temples, and only one God.
Frank Lebby Stanton
Image
One thought of thee puts all the pomp to flight Priests, tapers, temples, swim before my sight.
Alexander Pope
Image
Buddhism isn't about temples, and incense, and shaved heads, and robes. It's not about church. There are aspects of Buddhism that involve that. People enjoy that, it helps them, it strengthens their practice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Thought, stumbling, plods Past fallen temples, vanished gods, Altars unincensed, fanes undecked, Eternal systems flown or wrecked Through trackless centuries that grant To the poor trudge refreshment scant, Age after age, pants on to find A melting mirage of the mind.
Alfred Austin
Image
Americans practice different faiths in churches, synagogues, mosques and temples. And many good people practice no faith at all.
George W. Bush
Image
The prime objective of all Initiatory music in the Temples of Antiquity was to bring about physical purification and renewal, mental stimulation and alertness, spiritual exhilaration and Illumination.
