Every religion, every mythology is true in this sense: It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.

... a person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their superpersonal value.

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.

In reality there are as many religions as there are individuals.

Religion is not what is grasped by the brain, but a heart grasp.

... for it is from our lives and not from our words, that our religion must be read.

A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.

Religion is the fashionable substitute for belief.

I can say without the slightest hesitation, and yet in all humility, that those who say that religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means.

Religion is a candle inside a multicolored lantern. Everyone looks through a particular color, but the candle is always there.
