“For the pillars of the temple stand apart,”

“Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”

“Jesus was not sent here to teach the people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels. He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest.”

“For if you should enter the temple for no other purpose than asking you shall not receive:”

“Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.”

“The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.”

“As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.”
