The modern dilemma is essentially a spiritual one, and every one of its main aspects, moral, political and scientific, brings us back to the need of a religious solution.

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

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

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.

A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.

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

God does not work for you, He works with you.

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.

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

We must lay before him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

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.

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

An almost forgotten truth, even among some practising Christians, is that it's never the physical world, but only the spirit of the world that is evil. Therefore the soul must detach itself from the spirit of the world.

Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.

On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

If you're really spiritual, then you should be totally independent of the good and the bad opinions of the world... you should have faith in yourself.

Faith is a state of openness or trust.

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.
