If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where these is hatred, let me sow love.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand

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.

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

Faith is a commitment to belief contrary to evidence and reason.

Give us this day our daily faith, but deliver us, dear God, from belief.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

Who is the most favoured of God? He from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.

There is a polish for everything that takes away rust, and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of God.

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude

God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
