Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
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.
I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.
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.

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.
Everyone has the same God; only people differ.
Christianity, if false, is not important. If Christianity is true, however, it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important.
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.
Prayer is a turning to God.
All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
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.
