The gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.

The gods too are fond of a joke.

If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

God always wants us to be growing.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody’s life.

What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man.

The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

A lot of churches have not moved with the times.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.

Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.

Base souls have no faith in great individuals.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

To those whose God is honor; only disgrace is a sin.

Politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

The progress of rivers to the ocean is not so rapid as that of man to error.

Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another.

All missionaries, younger and older, serve with the sole hope of making life better for other people.

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

A man makes you feel important – makes you glad you are a woman.

I just want to lobby for God.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

I wish that the Indians believed me a god, for upon the report of an enemy’s valor oftentimes depends the success of a battle, and false reports have many times done as great things as true courage and resolution.

God is everywhere.

I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.

That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.

I don’t believe in icons.

When it comes to our everyday habits, it’s important to ask: ‚Am I putting God first?‘

Whenever you’re going through a tough time, generally, you become more compassionate, you become softer, you become more thoughtful, kinder. These are all spiritual qualities that will help you to align yourself with God and God consciousness rather than with a split fear-based consciousness.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.

God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!

A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.

Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.

Wine gives a man nothing… it only puts in motion what had been locked up in frost.

Faith never makes a confession.

I like a man who grins when he fights.

I pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don’t let yourself believe it will happen to you.

One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.

I don’t think even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence at all.

It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I’m here.
