Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like.
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
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.
You will not enter paradise until you have faith. And you will not complete your faith until you love one another.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
God's house must be clean, otherwise, God will just run away.
In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.
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.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.
Those who earn an honest living are the beloved of God.
What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.
