God is not a diversion.
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.
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.
There is a justifiable reaction against a type of religion which imposed rigid restrictions on any kind of rational enjoyment, while it left men free to exploit one another and to make life hideous in the race for wealth.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Give us this day our daily faith, but deliver us, dear God, from belief.
The abdomen is the reason why man does not easily take himself for a god.
Faith is a commitment to belief contrary to evidence and reason.
The higher animals are in a sense drawn into Man when he loves them and makes them (as he does) much more nearly human than they would otherwise be.
You will not enter paradise until you have faith. And you will not complete your faith until you love one another.
Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.
How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
