Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
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.
I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
Here is God's purpose - for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.
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.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body.

I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be the sons of God.
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.
Moral indignation - jealousy with a halo.
By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.
God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.
Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time
Everyone has the same God; only people differ.
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger
