"I have a religion-but you will call it blasphemy. It is that there is a God for the rich man but none for the poor.....Perhaps your religion will sustain you,will feed you-I place no dependence in mine. Our religions are alike, though, in one respect-neither can make a man happy when he is out of luck."
"Leaving out the gamblers, the burglars, and the plumbers, perhaps we do put our trust in God after a fashion. But, after all, it is an overstatement. If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it, but the rest would put their trust in The Health Board."
"If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane."
"The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity."
"God is within you. You yourself are your creator. If you find that place in yourself from which you brought this thing about, you will be able to live with it and affirm it, perhaps even enjoy it, as your life."
"Be hopeful at all times and walk in faith, but above all seek love an walk in it. God is love, and when we walk in love we show Him to those we come in contact with."
"As believers, our joy and peace are not based in doing and achieving, but in believing. Joy and peace come as a result of building our relationship with the Lord."

God does not appear, and flow out, only from narrow chinks and round bored wells here and there in favored races and places, but He flows in grand undivided currents, shoreless and boundless over creeds and forms and all kinds of civilizations and peoples and beasts, saturating all and fountainizing all."
"Without God there is for mankind no purpose, no goal, no hope, only a wavering future, an eternal dread of every darkness."
"All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired."
"Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God]."
"All God wants of man is a peaceful heart."
"The purest lesson our era has taught is that man, at his highest, is an individual, single, isolate, alone, in direct soul-communication with the unknown God, which prompts within him."
"Not that I am (I think) in much danger of ceasing to believe in God. The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. The conclusion I dread is not 'So there's no God after all,' but 'So this is what God's really like. Deceive yourself no longer."
"Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. it does involve the belief that god loves man and for his sake became man and died."
"God alone is entirely exempt from all want of human virtues, that which needs least is the most absolute and divine."
"It were better to have no opinion of God at all than such a one as is unworthy of him; for the one is only belief - the other contempt."
"Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other."
"If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive."
