I read an article today that touched on the religious illiteracy of the average American. I was inspired by the article and so decided to do a little religious exploration and appreciation. I found these quotes from religious works less familiar to myself, and thought they were pretty out-of-this-world.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. - Buddha

A good word is like a good tree whose root is firmly fixed and whose top is in the sky. - The Quran
