The gods have a curse for him who willingly tells another the wrong road.
The gods don’t care about men, no more than kings care about peasants.
The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices make instruments to plague us.
The gods are blind. And men see only what they wish.
The belly is the reason why man does not so readily take himself for a God.[Der Unterleib ist der Grund dafür, dass der Mensch sich nicht so leicht für einen Gott hält.]
The beginning of religion, more precisely its content, is the concept of religion itself, that God is the absolute truth, the truth of all things, and subjectively that religion alone is the absolutely true knoweldge.
That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.
So long as God seems to be outside and far away, there is ignorance. But when God is realised within, that is true knowledge.
Revealed religion is manifested religion, because in it God has become wholly manifest.
Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.
People who make fun of everything can never truly fall in love, nor truly believe in God.
People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
