Everyone has the same God; only people differ.

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

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

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.

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.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

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.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.

Prayer is a turning to God.

The higher animals are in a sense drawn into Man when he loves them and makes them (as he does) much more nearly human than they would otherwise be.

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God's creation embraces me.

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

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

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