Religious suffering is at once the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature the sentiment of the heartless world as it is the soul of soulless condition. It is the opium of the people.

Think about all the great leaders. Think about Obama. Think about Clinton. Think about Nelson Mandela. Think about all the people that we know who are very successful in business in politics and religion. What are they? They tell purposeful stories. They move people to action by aiming at the heart.

Religion's in the heart not in the knees.

It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you later not a lesser but a greater thing.

Let me say this loud and clear. There is a world of difference between terrorist acts and the Islamic Shari'a. Islam is not only a religion but a way of life. And at its heart lie the sacred principles of tolerance and dialogue.

The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied by our real problems - the problems of life and of human relations of creation and behavior and religion.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.

The Sabbath is a weekly cathedral raised up in my dining room in my family in my heart.

There is no need for temples no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples my philosophy is kindness.
