Freedom has its roots in religion.

Be close enough to people so that you are indifferent to the material. And also have faith.

Dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.

With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim a journey!

As a child, I came across the Bible, but nobody in my family had anything to do with religion. I just felt a profound truth there that appealed to me.

No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.
