Imagination is the true magic carpet.

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 a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

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

How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?

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

He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.

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.

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

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

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

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

The Catholic ideal is to order the whole of life towards unity, not by the denial and destruction of the natural human values, but by bringing them into living relation with spiritual truth and spiritual reality.

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

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

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

Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realized joy could be.
