Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
If man attempts to suppress the animal side of his nature by a sheer effort of conscious will, nature finds a hundred unexpected and unpleasant ways to take its revenge.
It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.
The body of man is a limitation. Only the spirit opens onto the infinite.
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.
The most superior amongst the colors in the universe is the colour of Devotion.
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.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
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.
He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.
Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.
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.
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.
When people cease to believe in God, they don't believe in nothing; they believe in anything.
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
