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

There is a polish for everything that takes away rust, and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of God.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith. All else is a dispute over trifles.

The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.

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.

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

You may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.

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

Everyone has the same God; only people differ.

Prayer is a turning to God.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

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

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.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.
