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

Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.

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

Moral indignation - jealousy with a halo.

I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.

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

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.

The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

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

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.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

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