On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
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.
A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.
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 find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand
He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.
You will not enter paradise until you have faith. And you will not complete your faith until you love one another.
The great obstacle to the conversion of the modern world is the belief that religion has no intellectual significance; that it may be good for morals and satisfying to man's emotional needs, but that it corresponds to no objective reality.
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a 'new heaven' first found the power thereto in his own hell.
Faith is a state of openness or trust.
The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.
The body of man is a limitation. Only the spirit opens onto the infinite.
Spiritual progress is like a detoxification
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Devotion is a social force.
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.
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.
