God is not a diversion.
Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.

The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
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.
Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do - then do it with all your strength.
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.
When people cease to believe in God, they don't believe in nothing; they believe in anything.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
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.

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.
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.
Religion is the opium of the masses.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a 'new heaven' first found the power thereto in his own hell.
