Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

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

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

Faith is a state of openness or trust.

Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.

Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it.

A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

The body of man is a limitation. Only the spirit opens onto the infinite.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

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

Christianity, if false, is not important. If Christianity is true, however, it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important.

A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.

One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

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.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

Though wrong gratifies in the moment, good yields its gifts over a lifetime.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
