Sunday


Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise. Are any among you sick? They should call the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.

James 5:13-18
Christianity



And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Luke 11: 9-10
Christianity


See the brotherhood of all mankind as the highest order of Yogis; conquer your own mind and conquer the world.

Shri Guru Granth Sahib 1:6, 28A
Sikhism



And hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah, and do not separate. And remember Allah's favour unto you: How ye were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by His grace.

The Meaning of the Glorious Qura'n 3:103
Islam



One who thinks he knows not, knows;
one who thinks he knows, knows not.

Shri Guru Gita 40
Hinduism



Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing of humility, and manifests it to all the world. He is free from self-display, and therefore he shines; from self-assertion and therefore he is distinguished; from self-boasting, and therefore his merit is acknowledged; from self complacency, and therefore he acquires superiority. It is because he is thus free from striving that therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him.

Tao Te Ching 22
Taoism


"You have heard that it was said, 'You should love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous."

Matthew 5:43-45
Christianity


"He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me," in those who harbor such thoughts hatred will never cease. "He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me," in those who do not harbor such thoughts hatred will cease. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is the eternal love.

Drammapada I:3-5
Buddhism
