One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
The most superior amongst the colors in the universe is the colour of Devotion.
The higher animals are in a sense drawn into Man when he loves them and makes them (as he does) much more nearly human than they would otherwise be.
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.
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.
Spiritual progress is like a detoxification
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.
When people cease to believe in God, they don't believe in nothing; they believe in anything.
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a 'new heaven' first found the power thereto in his own hell.
Imagination is the true magic carpet.
Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.
Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.
