You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate.

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.

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

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn't a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color, or religion.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.

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

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

Terrorism has no nationality or religion.

You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed - that has nothing to do with the business of the State.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

Religion is meant to teach us true spiritual human character. It is meant for self-transformation. It is meant to transform anxiety into peace, arrogance into humility, envy into compassion, to awaken the pure soul in man and his love for the Source, which is God.

So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

It is my goal to love everyone. I hate no one. Regardless of their race, religion, their proclivities, the desire of their heart and how they want to live their life and the decisions that they make. I can even respect people's decisions and lifestyle choices just as I hope they have the courtesy to respect my decisions and my choices.

All religions and all communities have the same rights, and it is my responsibility to ensure their complete and total protection. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.

Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history. Religion was our first attempt at literature, the texts, our first attempt at cosmology, making sense of where we are in the universe, our first attempt at health care, believing in faith healing, our first attempt at philosophy.

Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

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

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.
