"- Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger... Show respect to all people and bow to no one... "

Great question! Can't wait to read other's favorites! :D
I think my all-time favorite scripture is from the Bible. James 1:5 - "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." It reminds me that anytime I'm having problems or I'm confused and I need someone to talk to, I can pray to God, my Heavenly Father, for help and guidance. Even if I don't recieve an answer right away, I feel better.
I also like Psalms 82:6 - "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High". I like the idea that I'm a daughter of God, the Father of my spirit. My earthly parents created my flesh, but my Heavenly Parents created the spirit inside. They know who I am and what I can become. (Hope I didn't get too preachy.)
Surprisingly, since I'm a Gnostic Christian and a student of the Cayce and Solomon readings, my favorite quote is from Revelation, Chapter 21, in the traditional Bible. I had this read at my late wife's funeral 8 years ago, it was read at my sister's funeral 2 years ago, and I still reread it often when life is overwhelming.
"1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Can't say I have a favorite wuote but here are a few from ACIM. 1) To offer forgiveness is the only way for us to have it, for it reflects the law of heaven that giving and receiving are the same. 2) nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists ( most of what is here is an illusion) 3) the ego's purpose is fear, because only the fearful can be egotistic.

We are not Humans having a Spiritual Experience, but Spirits having a Human Experience
