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

The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.

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

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

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 glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.

Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies

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

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.

You will achieve definitive self-fulfilment only in the next life.

All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet.

An almost forgotten truth, even among some practising Christians, is that it's never the physical world, but only the spirit of the world that is evil. Therefore the soul must detach itself from the spirit of the world.

Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received-only what you have given.

I defy anyone to imagine an environment more exquisitely designed to provide us with opportunities for spiritual growth than this life of ours.

A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

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.

Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.
