Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men. 

(Voltaire)


I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. 

(Mahatma Gandhi)


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. 

(Dalai Lama)

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.  

(Khalil Gibran)

Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God. 

(Albert Einstein)

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.  

(Saint Ignatius)

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God's children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God. 

(Desmond Tutu)

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. 


We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. 


Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home. 


Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty. 


Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work. 


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. 


The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. 


Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
