All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness ... the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him.
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.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.
If you're really spiritual, then you should be totally independent of the good and the bad opinions of the world... you should have faith in yourself.
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
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.
