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

There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith. All else is a dispute over trifles.

Faith without doubt is addiction

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.

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

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.

What happens when people open their hearts?They get better.

I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.

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

Here is God's purpose - for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.

I'm a believer. I don't go to church. I don't belong to any particular religion, but I do believe in God. I couldn't write what I write about and be creative without a certain form of belief.

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.

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

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

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

We can only know God well when we know our own sin. And those who have known God without knowing their wretchedness have not glorified Him but have glorified themselves.

Doubt everything. Find your own light.

A man's greatness is to be measured by his capacity for communion with others.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.
