Joel OsteenI cannot read a single word of the Hindoos without being elevated.
Henry David ThoreauI once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up – they have no holidays.
Henny YoungmanI read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.
Virginia WoolfI shall never be a heretic; I may err in dispute, but I do not wish to decide anything finally; on the other hand, I am not bound by the opinions of men.

Mahatma GandhiPrayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
HippocratesKeep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.
Joel OsteenI believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. LewisI pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.
Joyce MeyerThe smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.
Henry David ThoreauAnd I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

Charles SpurgeonEach one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Mother TeresaWe were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

Bertrand RussellTo assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert CamusFirst of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.
Pope FrancisHope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.

Pierre Teilhard de ChardinMen know not the gold which lies in the mine of Christ Jesus, or surely they would dig in it night and day. They have not yet discovered the pearl of great price, or they would have sold their all to buy the field wherein it lies.
Charles SpurgeonWe all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist.
Anthony HopkinsEverybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.
EminemI 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.
Dylan ThomasLet your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThere cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.

Mother TeresaMen freely believe that which they desire.

Joyce MeyerIn the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.
Desmond TutuA small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
Mahatma GandhiForgiveness is God’s command.
