Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.

God is not a diversion.

The body of man is a limitation. Only the spirit opens onto the infinite.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realized joy could be.

The world is my country,all mankind are my brethren,and to do good is my religion.

Prayer is a turning to God.

Those who earn an honest living are the beloved of God.

Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

Christians have burned each other, quite persuaded That all the apostles would have done as they did.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

God does not work for you, He works with you.

We can only know God well when we know our own sin. And those who have known God without knowing their wretchedness have not glorified Him but have glorified themselves.

Let one who has become wealthy reign, and let one who has power renounce

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
