The one who attended a matter and disliked it, is as the one who was absent; and whoever was not present in an affair yet was pleased with it, is as the one who witnessed it.

He said that men ought to remember those friends who were absent as well as those who were present.
Diogenes Laertius
For with G. D., to be absent from the body is sometimes (not to speak profanely) to be present with the Lord.
Charles Lamb
Mourning after an absent God is an evidence of a love as strong, as rejoicing in a present one.
Frederick William Robertson
The Truth that is to be Realized may be summarized simply as the Realization that no matter what is arising, no matter how many others are present, there is only One Being. This is precisely different from the childish but common religious notion that even when you are alone there is always Someone Else present, Who will look out for you if you do the right thing. True freedom is not a matter of striking a deal with an All-Powerful Parental Deity; no such God exists. True freedom is in the Realization that there is only God and You are That One.
Adi Da
I'm what you might call centre-right but I've always disliked the right wing as much as I've disliked the left wing.
