God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.

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.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification

I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

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.

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.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

Let one who has become wealthy reign, and let one who has power renounce

If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.

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.

Those who earn an honest living are the beloved of God.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself.

I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.

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

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

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.

As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
