Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do - then do it with all your strength.
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.
My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.
To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself.
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
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.
What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.
How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
If you're really spiritual, then you should be totally independent of the good and the bad opinions of the world... you should have faith in yourself.
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.
In faith and hope the world will disagree, but all mankind's concern is charity. .
Split a piece of wood and I am there.
