If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
You will not enter paradise until you have faith. And you will not complete your faith until you love one another.
Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.
Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
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.
What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.
Devotion does not mean only chanting praise and singing glory of God, nor fasting and offerings made to God. Devotion is a specific attitude towards life and existence.
The body of man is a limitation. Only the spirit opens onto the infinite.
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received-only what you have given.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
