It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.

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.

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.

Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.

I'm a believer. I don't go to church. I don't belong to any particular religion, but I do believe in God. I couldn't write what I write about and be creative without a certain form of belief.

The body of man is a limitation. Only the spirit opens onto the infinite.

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where these is hatred, let me sow love.

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification

We can only know God well when we know our own sin. And those who have known God without knowing their wretchedness have not glorified Him but have glorified themselves.

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

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

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

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.

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

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

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.
