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

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.

Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat you. Believe that you now receive power from Him.

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

By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.

We tend to think of prayer, in spite of ourselves, in terms of profit and loss.

All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet.

Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

Scientist believe in things, not in persons

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

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

My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.

Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?

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.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.

Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
