Religion is the opium of the masses.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world
Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.
We tend to think of prayer, in spite of ourselves, in terms of profit and loss.
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.
He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.
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.
If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?
If man attempts to suppress the animal side of his nature by a sheer effort of conscious will, nature finds a hundred unexpected and unpleasant ways to take its revenge.
What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.
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.
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
