Your Favorite Religious/ Scriptural Quotes
All religious writings are human in origin. No reason to throw the Divine Baby out with the Holy Water. One of my favorites is this quote by Rumi:


“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.”


Ours is not a caravan of despair. Beautiful. I say this to myself when I fall off the Healthy Lifestyle Bandwagon. Whenever I need to begin again I say this to myself.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Life is short,
And we do not have much time
to gladden the hearts of those who
make the journey with us.
So… be swift to love,
and make haste to be kind.

That's a lovely sentiment, but it is neither scriptural nor religious.

I was building a house for my 12 year old daughters rabbit. I smashed my thumb with a framing hammer. I was jumping up and down yelling "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!!"

I heard my daughter say "Mom, Dad's praying again!"

It was written by a German aesthetic philosopher. Since then it has been picked up by a lot of religious people, who consider it to be completely in line with the Gospels. I got it from an Episcopalian. 

I agree with you that even non-religious people can find it lovely -- as is true of the quote in the OP as well.
