If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.

To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

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.

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.

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

We must lay before him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.

I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.

Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

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.

Devotion does not mean only chanting praise and singing glory of God, nor fasting and offerings made to God. Devotion is a specific attitude towards life and existence.

But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God's creation embraces me.

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.
