Jesus, in Matthew 6:33
Do not believe in anything simply because you
have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and
rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in
your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your
teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down
for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything
agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and benefit of
one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
- Buddha
Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from
them.
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will
watch over you.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have,
get understanding.
Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.

don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the
first step.

The good person
He [or she] is one that is sincere and
entire in his spirituality… He is really what he
professes to be, is sound at heart, and can approve
himself to All, in his integrity, in all he does;
his conversation and social interactions are
uniform, and he is of a piece [and at peace] with
himself... I know no religion but sincerity.

Matthew Henry's commentary on

Love
And now I will show you the most
excellent way:
If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have
not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all
mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but
have not love, I am nothing.
If I give up all I possess and surrender my body to
the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; it does not envy; it
does not boast;
it is not proud. It is not rude; it is not
self-seeking;
it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of
wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will pass away;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where
there is knowledge it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but
when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought
like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection, then we shall see
face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as
I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love,
but the greatest of these is love.

I Corinthians, Chapter 13
The entire law is summed up in a single command,

Galatians 5:14 (NIV)
You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve
your love and respect.
- Buddha
It is love that makes the impossible possible.

Rene Descartes was on an airplane and the stewardess
asked him, "Coffee, tea, juice or soda?" Mr.
Cogito-Ergo-Sum Descartes replied, "Thank you." (He's very polite.) Then he
added, "I think not." And he completely disappeared.
Hasn't been seen since, I think :)
