When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.

What I’ve learned is that you really don’t need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.

Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

Rappers aren’t the really rich ones. We all have nice houses with studios and cars, but you need a piece of someone’s business to be super wealthy.

You start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they’re not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don’t care about money, and that’s not my problem.

Possession isn’t nine-tenths of the law. It’s nine-tenths of the problem.

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.

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.

No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

If everything isn’t black and white, I say, ‚Why the hell not?‘

Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits; cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

A right delayed is a right denied.

How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that’s my religion.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can’t help it. It’s the truth.

The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

To be Catholic is the only way of being fully and utterly Christian.

The only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I’m still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

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.

There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.

Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.

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

Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.

Well, we can’t say any more than we can say there is no god, there is no afterlife. We can only say there is no persuasive evidence for or argument for it.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ‚cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

The just is close to the people’s heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor – over each other.

We are often attracted to the wrong things, whether it be money, fame, or approval.

That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

I tell you the groans of the damned in hell are the deep bass of the universal anthem of praise that shall ascend to the throne of my God for ever and ever.

I don’t mind saying, you know, that I don’t take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.

I’m an atheist.

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

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.

It is a way to take people’s wealth from them without having to openly raise taxes. Inflation is the most universal tax of all.

There are people who have money and people who are rich.

It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

I love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there’s no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That’s all crap.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

If you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.

I don’t mind saying, you know, that I don’t take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books. It’s been printed all over, so I don’t feel like I am hiding anything.

The word ‚Christianity‘ is already a misunderstanding – in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.

Money doesn’t talk, it swears.
