This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Devotion does not mean only chanting praise and singing glory of God, nor fasting and offerings made to God. Devotion is a specific attitude towards life and existence.

All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet.

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.

The Catholic ideal is to order the whole of life towards unity, not by the denial and destruction of the natural human values, but by bringing them into living relation with spiritual truth and spiritual reality.

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

One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion.

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 simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.

Christianity, if false, is not important. If Christianity is true, however, it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important.

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

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.

Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valour of the brave.

God is not a diversion.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

You will not enter paradise until you have faith. And you will not complete your faith until you love one another.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
