8 Quotes From Different Religions That Prove Truth Is Religiously Universal
New Age Islam

My favorite quote comes from Desmond Tutu, and it reads: "God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion".

I am a Christian, but that doesn't mean I won't appreciate the religions of other cultures and what they have to say. Granted, there are a lot of practices and beliefs I don't agree with from other religions, but the wonder of it is that it is all there for the taking and for the gleaning of wisdom. The even bigger beauty lies in the fact that we can disagree on certain theological terms and beliefs, but I can still find beauty and truth in other religions.

The following are just a few quotes from different religions that prove that it is okay for us to believe in different things, but that it is also okay to glean wisdom from other religions.

Lets stop judging each other and just try to build one another up, creating peace in the world.


1. Buddha (Buddhist)


2. Dieter F. Uchtdorf (Mormon/LDS)


3. Mahatma Ghandi (Hindu)


4. Lao Tzu (Taoist)


5. Jesus (Christian/Jewish)


6. Malcolm X (Muslim)


7. Mother Teresa (Catholic)


8. Baruch Spinoza (Jew)


9. Joseph Franklin Rutherford (Jehovah's Witness/Freemason)

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
