AristotleGod not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen HawkingNo true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.

Benjamin DisraeliI glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.
Charles SpurgeonI did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.
Mahatma GandhiIt is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.

Benjamin FranklinMy religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.
Mahatma GandhiThe gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.
PlatoGod is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.
Stephen HawkingTo the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren.

Abraham LincolnThe real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
C. S. LewisI know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.
Maya AngelouWe must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.
Pope FrancisFaith never makes a confession.
Henry David ThoreauWell 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.
Christopher HitchensI have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.
Edgar Allan PoeIf I err in belief that the souls of men are immortal, I gladly err, nor do I wish this error which gives me pleasure to be wrested from me while I live.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIt’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
Steve JobsI 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.
John LennonIf you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.
Ayrton SennaIn other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.
Alan WattsI maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiReligion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
Napoleon BonaparteIf you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have.
Joyce MeyerThere is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.
Nikola TeslaYou just have to have a simple faith.
Jimmy CarterI believe that a government has only one religion – India first. A government has only one holy book – our Constitution. A government has only one kind of devotion – towards nation.
Narendra ModiIf 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.
Dale CarnegieSuperstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
VoltairePrayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
HippocratesFear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Billy GrahamI say something, and then it usually happens. Maybe not on schedule, but it usually happens.
Elon MuskThe thing we fear we bring to pass.
Elbert HubbardI’m working at trying to be a Christian, and that’s serious business. It’s like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy – it’s serious business.
Maya AngelouPrayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Mahatma GandhiWe are not at war against Islam.

Khalil GibranBelieve that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
William JamesWriting is a solitary experience. I’m extremely superstitious. If I talk about the book or name the title out loud before finishing, I feel the energy I need to write will be drained. It’s so intimate, I can’t even share it with my wife.
Paulo CoelhoAll who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin LutherThe word ‚Christianity‘ is already a misunderstanding – in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
Friedrich NietzscheCommunism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.
Billy GrahamI always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.
Mr. TFor me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it’s love, and I believe that love is the answer.
