Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.

Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.

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.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

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

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

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

The abdomen is the reason why man does not easily take himself for a god.

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.

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

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

Let one who has become wealthy reign, and let one who has power renounce

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

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.

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

We must lay before him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.

God is not a diversion.

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us

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.
