He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.

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.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

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

Split a piece of wood and I am there.

Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him.

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

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

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

Give us this day our daily faith, but deliver us, dear God, from belief.

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

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.

In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.

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

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

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

Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.

The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.
