I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.

To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

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.

Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.

Who is the most favoured of God? He from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.

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

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

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

What happens when people open their hearts?They get better.

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

The Catholic ideal is to order the whole of life towards unity, not by the denial and destruction of the natural human values, but by bringing them into living relation with spiritual truth and spiritual reality.

Devotion is a social force.

Give us this day our daily faith, but deliver us, dear God, from belief.

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven

I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.

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