The Kingdom of God is, in reality, the mental kingdom of a conscientious, compassionate and courageous human.

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.

Reasonable men adapt to the world around them unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men.

I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.

The crazy thing is we live on an ocean planet - nobody gets that yet.

We are the curators of life on earth. We hold it in the palm of our hand.

Neither a person entirely broken nor one entirely whole can speak. In sorrow, pretend to be fearless. In happiness, tremble.

I never placed my head upon the pillow at night without reminding myself that my success might only be temporary.

Surely revival delays because prayer decays.

Independence can be tough. Without a studio to back you up, when you finish a feature and want to start a new project you have to start from zero.

To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States.

If I had my personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don't want to see another dog or cat born.
