There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith. All else is a dispute over trifles.
Let one who has become wealthy reign, and let one who has power renounce
Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.
He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger
Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received-only what you have given.
Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.
It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge.
Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.
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.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude
Fearlessness is a result of faith in oneself and faith in God.
Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.

An almost forgotten truth, even among some practising Christians, is that it's never the physical world, but only the spirit of the world that is evil. Therefore the soul must detach itself from the spirit of the world.
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.
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.
