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.
Prayer is a turning to God.
Doubt everything. Find your own light.
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand
You will achieve definitive self-fulfilment only in the next life.
God does not work for you, He works with you.
I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.
Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
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.
Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do - then do it with all your strength.
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.
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.
What happens when people open their hearts?They get better.
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
