Religion Quotes
-
Human existence is girt round with mystery: the narrow region of our experience is a small island in the midst of a boundless sea.

The past and the future are alike shrouded from us: we neither know the origin of anything which is, nor its final destination.

I want to help people, the black people and I need any kind of media to spread my thought: God, charity, peace.
