Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
EpictetusA Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.
Pope FrancisConversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
Dalai LamaTo say that Christ is the term and motive force of evolution, to say that he manifests himself as ‚evolver,‘ is implicitly to recognize that he becomes attainable in and through the whole process of evolution.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWhen you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.
Wayne DyerThere is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.
Wayne DyerI certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
Desmond TutuGod may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.
Albert EinsteinThe God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.

Martin Luther King, Jr.Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.
Joel OsteenThe roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.
Stephen CoveyO, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we do adore Thee with all our hearts. Thou art Lord of all.
Charles SpurgeonGod hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.
Francis BaconHumans are amphibians – half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.
C. S. LewisTo gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin LutherFor me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.
Beyonce KnowlesAnyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.
Eleanor RooseveltI am just one of many thousands called to be an evangelist.
Billy GrahamIt is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
Pope FrancisChristianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.
Elbert HubbardAs apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.
Russell M. NelsonWhen you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘
Wayne DyerMy mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.
Mr. TGod is everywhere.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamA Religion of Evolution: that, when all is said and done, is what Man needs ever more explicitly if he is to survive and ‚superlive,‘ as soon as he becomes conscious of his power to ultra-hominize himself and of his duty to do so.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWithin all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.
Wayne DyerIt’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.
Stephen KingI reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.
Mahatma GandhiGod is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.
Friedrich NietzscheA 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.
Edgar Allan PoeLook for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
C. S. LewisYes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
Ronald ReaganIt ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.
Mark TwainForgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.
Joyce MeyerOne of the things I love most about being at home is that I’m comfortable there. And since we are the home of Christ, we need to make sure He’s comfortable in us.
Joyce MeyerI believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.
Henry FordSin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope FrancisIn religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect – if you’re a moderate on abortion, if you’re a moderate on gun control, or if you’re a moderate in your religious faith – it doesn’t evolve into a crusade where you’re either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.
Jimmy CarterCommunism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.
Billy GrahamTo be a monk is to have time to practice for your transformation and healing. And after that to help with the transformation and healing of other people.
Thich Nhat HanhGod 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.
Joel OsteenGod spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.
Florence NightingaleJesus 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 TolleWhat really matters is how God sees me. He isn’t concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man’s soul.
Billy GrahamNow, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.
William ShakespeareWhen people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
BonoIf God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.
Ray BradburyDifference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor – over each other.
Thomas JeffersonReligion is compulsory in English schools, you know.
Christopher HitchensBelief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise PascalWhen you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

Thomas CarlyleEvery day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.
Joyce MeyerI noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: ‚This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.‘ Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
Ronald Reagan
