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

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.

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

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.

Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it.

I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.

Scientist believe in things, not in persons

As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

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.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Do not let Sunday be taken from you If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.

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

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

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

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

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 does not work for you, He works with you.

God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.
