Faith is a state of openness or trust.

Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat you. Believe that you now receive power from Him.

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

Everyone who has ever built anywhere a 'new heaven' first found the power thereto in his own hell.

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

Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.

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.

He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.

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.
