"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong. " --John Lennon

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" -- John Lennon

“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” -- Albert Einstein

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." -- Dalai Lama

“People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.” -- Anne Rice

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." -- Dalai Lama

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” -- Carl Jung

"It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts." -- Carl Jung

“In politics nothing happens ‘by chance.’ If something happens, then you can bet that it was planned that way,” Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
