God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen HawkingGreater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.
Lyndon B. JohnsonJesus said, ‚The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.‘ I think if he lived nowadays, instead of ‚kingdom,‘ he would have said, ‚dimension.‘ And ‚heaven‘ refers to a sense of vastness or spaciousness.
Eckhart TolleI do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.
Virat KohliGod is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.
Joyce MeyerOnly when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil GibranSmall amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.
Francis BaconDeath surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThere is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
Terry PratchettConversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
Dalai LamaAll of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Tennessee WilliamsFor modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.
Alexander PopeI have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.
Mr. TWithin all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.
Wayne DyerWhatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!
William JamesI believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.
Conor McGregorIf I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.
Florence NightingaleThe quarrels and divisions about religion were evils unknown to the heathen. The reason was because the religion of the heathen consisted rather in rites and ceremonies than in any constant belief.
Francis BaconIf you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.
Brian EnoSpiritual people don’t float around all day on clouds of glory; they live in the real world and deal with real issues in real ways.
Joyce MeyerAllah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.
Muhammad AliIn our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.
Pope FrancisIf God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheLet us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
George WashingtonFor 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.
Stephen CoveyThey say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
Emily DickinsonI read the ‚Old Testament‘ all the way through when I was about 13 and was horrified. A few months afterwards I read ‚The Origin Of Species‘, hallucinating very mildly because I was in bed with flu at the time. Despite that, or because of that, it all made perfect sense.
Terry PratchettMusic is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.
Lady GagaIn prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?
Charles SpurgeonTerrorists are not following Islam. Killing people and blowing up people and dropping bombs in places and all this is not the way to spread the word of Islam. So people realize now that all Muslims are not terrorists.
Muhammad AliThe infinite faith I have in people’s ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
Alice WalkerIf 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 MeyerI believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination – the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.
Charles SpurgeonPeople just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.
Dolly PartonIf a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.
Mahatma GandhiThe experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion, etc.
Franz KafkaAbout Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they’re just one thing.
Joan of ArcI believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
Joel OsteenI think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.
Christopher HitchensIn spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.
Charles SpurgeonDon’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.
Lady GagaI serve God.
Mr. TI fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.

Joyce MeyerThe only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.
Joyce MeyerAt the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.
Booker T. WashingtonGreat indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.
Lao TzuThe ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.
Terry PratchettGod hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
Francis BaconWe hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.
George EliotReligion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.
Mahatma GandhiAnd if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.
Maya AngelouReligion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon BonaparteThe Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheA sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit’s aid than he can create a world.
Charles SpurgeonI was in my late thirties when my eyes were opened to truth in God’s Word that showed me I wasn’t living the abundant life Jesus died for me to have. I had a very negative mindset and was miserable most of the time because of the abuse I had experienced throughout my childhood.
Joyce MeyerSkeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl SaganMost people do not pray; they only beg.
George Bernard ShawI maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
