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.

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

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

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

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

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

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

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.

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.

If man attempts to suppress the animal side of his nature by a sheer effort of conscious will, nature finds a hundred unexpected and unpleasant ways to take its revenge.

Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

Christians have burned each other, quite persuaded That all the apostles would have done as they did.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

There is a polish for everything that takes away rust, and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of God.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

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.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
