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

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force – that thoughts rule the world.

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.

If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.

It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.

I have nowhere claimed nor even implied that unbelief is a guarantee of good conduct or even an indicator of it.

I am a big believer in education, because when I grew up in Austria – when I grew up in Austria I had a great education. I had great teachers.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.

Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Happiness is a mystery, like religion, and should never be rationalised.

What I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all – the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.

I do believe in the energy and the productivity of the American business world.

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.

The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.

I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.

I 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.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

I don’t believe in ‚thinking‘ old. Although I’ve transitioned through many bodies – a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult – my spirit is unchanged.
