Their spirituality was in nature even though Emerson was a preacher on the pulpit he ended up going out into nature for direct face-to-face communication with God if you want to call all of this creation part of God.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

Business underlies everything in our national life including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.

Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and the material and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love.

Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.

The ever increasing spiritual damage caused by life within the big city will make this hunger practically uncontrollable when we build here on this the landscape of our homeland we must be clear that we will protect its beauty.

I think Islam has been hijacked by the idea that all Muslims are terrorists that Islam is about hate about war about jihad - I think that hijacks the spirituality and beauty that exists within Islam. I believe in allowing Islam to be seen in context and in its entirety and being judged on what it really is not what you think it is.
