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

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

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

The great obstacle to the conversion of the modern world is the belief that religion has no intellectual significance; that it may be good for morals and satisfying to man's emotional needs, but that it corresponds to no objective reality.

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

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

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.

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.

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.

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

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.

From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.

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.

When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

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

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

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
