The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

Forgotten is forgiven.

Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.

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

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

For me, the essence of the great American Dream is spiritual. I believe that our Constitution is inspired and that it is based on principles that are timeless and universal. This is the reason why 95% of all written constitutions throughout the world are modeled after our Constitution.

All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.

There is no greater power in Heaven or on Earth than pure, unconditional love. The nature of the God force, the unseen intelligence in all things, which causes the material world and is the center of both the spiritual and physical plane, is best described as pure, unconditional love.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

All that spirits desire, spirits attain.

I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

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.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.

Where knowledge ends, religion begins.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

I read the Bible every day.

In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.

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

God to me is love.

But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

If there really is a god, then he really looks after me.

In our home there was always prayer – aloud, proud and unapologetic.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. I love that.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

The most effective prayers are usually the simple prayers.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

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

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this – that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made – not to understand – but to feel – as crime.

At one time in my life, from the time I was seven until I was about 13, I didn’t speak. I only spoke to my brother. The reason I didn’t speak: I had been molested, and I told the name of the molester to my brother who told it to the family.

The ‚kingdom of Heaven‘ is a condition of the heart – not something that comes ‚upon the earth‘ or ‚after death.‘

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.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

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.

God always takes the simplest way.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.

Prayer doesn’t just change things – it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

Solemnity is proper in church, but things that are proper in church are not necessarily proper outside, and vice versa. For example, I can say a prayer while washing my teeth, but that does not mean I should wash my teeth in church.

Glory be and praise to God. I didn’t do any of this. God did. I don’t have a recipe or a blueprint. I prayed for it, and my prayers are continuing to be answered.
