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.
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
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.
I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
