INTRODUCTION
This book began as a personal collection of favourite religious quotations, for my own use, to fill a gap on my bookshelf because there was nothing to be found which quite answered the purpose.
When the possibility of publication was mooted, it was necessary to turn a private anthology into a collection with much wider appeal. I have tried to include ideas from a broad range of religious thinking, past and present. The result will, I hope, sometimes strike a chord, sometimes provoke and sometimes amuse.
At a time when religious movements throughout the world are growing stronger and when religious and secular leaders are showing less hesitation than for years in sharing their concerns, I hope this book will give some indication of the rich sources which feed this current vitality.
