Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be the sons of God.

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.
That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
Faith without doubt is addiction
When people cease to believe in God, they don't believe in nothing; they believe in anything.
He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.
