We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.
God has no religion.

Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
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.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where these is hatred, let me sow love.
