It is probably impossible to think without words, but if we permit ourselves to think with the wrong words, we shall soon be entertaining erroneous thoughts; for words, which are given us for the expression of thought, have a habit of going beyond their proper bounds and determining the content of thought.

The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.

We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.

It's hard to rest knowing that millions of people merely carry on religious traditions but don't actually reach God.

We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

No one need fear to listen to the voice of God unless he has already made up his mind to resist it.

The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
