I don’t want to take away anybody’s religion, but simply to make them see what religion really means.

Religion without reason is merely an illusion of religion – it is a mockery of religion, like it has become today.

When the mind is without fear and prejudice, and the head is held high with the strength of reasoning, then only the brightest rays of religion can penetrate the darkest corners of the human society.

Whether you call yourself a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu or an Atheist, if you have kindness in your heart and compassion in your act, you are on the right path of religion.

Holiness in the purest form is independent of all textual doctrines, all churches and all institutions.

Blind faith is not real religion my friend.

Acceptance is religion, sectarianism is blasphemy.

Become the destroyer of sects - become the breaker of privileges – become the messenger of equality – become the prophet of goodness.

Real religion does not mean Gods - it does not mean Angels and Demons - it does not mean miracles of healing. Real religion is all about you and your fellow humans. There is nothing else.

Terrorism is born of fundamentalism not of religion.

Let your conscience be your scripture and your actions be your religion. Let the humans be your church and compassion be your worship. Let love be your gospel and acceptance be your revelation.

I want to do something that people can really say, 'Hey, man, that was good, I'm proud of you, I'm proud of that.' 'Pride' and 'Transformers' and things like that.

In the window, I fantasize... about providing grown-ups and children alike with the greatest gift of all: insight.

Now go back to Supercuts and get your $5 back jabroni!

I have a fall-back fund for the quiet months. I am a single working parent and it gets lonely when things are insecure.

Do not try to decide a difficult matter by means of disputing, but that which is enjoined by the spiritual law, namely patience, prayer, and thoughtful hope.

Monsters exist, but they are too few in numbers to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are…the functionaries ready to believe and act without asking questions.

Servant leadership always empathizes, always accepts the person, but sometimes refuses to accept some of the person's effort or performance as good enough.

I wanted to do something for the minority Muslims living in the West, especially in the UK, to bring up their morale a bit. They need to be proud of their religion
