Faith without doubt is addiction
How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?
A man's greatness is to be measured by his capacity for communion with others.
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be the sons of God.
I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.
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.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
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.
Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.
My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
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.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.
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.
The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.
Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
