Paul Arden Quotes

Faith lights us through the dark to Deity.

In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.

This world is very dark, but in Heaven there is no darkness.

Religon is misunderstood mythology

Religions are like fireflies. They require darkness in order to shine.

The cynics, they can only speak of the dark, of the obvious, and this is not hard. For all it’s supposed sophistication, it’s cynicism that’s simplistic. In a fallen world, how profound is to see the cracks? The sages and prophets, the disciples and revolutionaries, they are the ones up on the ramparts, up on the wall pointing to the dawn of the new Kingdom coming, pointing to the light that breaks through all things broken, pointing to redemption always rising and to the Blazing God who never sleeps.

That's why I believe in Christianity because the Scriptures said: "The things that have been done in the dark will be known on the house tops."

Let thy light shine, then, in dark places.

The story of Ramakrishna is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face.... In this age of skepticism Ramakrishna presents an example of a bright and living faith which gives solace to thousands of men and women who would otherwise have remained without spiritual light.

Faith induces one to pray.Prayer purifies the heart.In the purified heart is reflected the light of Lord.When the Light sighns the mortal becomes immortal.

Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.

For, as you know, religions are like glow-worms; they shine only when it is dark.

I would sooner walk in the dark, and hold hard to a promise of my God, than trust in the light of the brightest day that ever dawned.

Superstition! that horrid incubus which dwelt in darkness, shunning the light, with all its racks, and poison chalices, and foul sleeping draughts, is passing away without return. Religion cannot pass away. The burning of a little straw may hide the stars of the sky; but the stars are there and will reappear.

One of the chief uses of religion is that it makes us remember our coming from darkness, the simple fact that we are created.

Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

Religion is a smile on a dog.

I was raised to believe that religion is a beautiful thing, but it's fiction.

I'm not a dogmatic Christian and I don't believe in the Bible literally, but I realized that Jesus is basically a very Zen dude.

Reason is a light that God has kindled in the soul.

Religion is usually nothing but a supplement to or even a substitute for education, and nothing is religious in the strict sense which is not a product of freedom. Thus one can say: The freer, the more religious; and the more education, the less religion.

Since the beginning of time, spirituality and religion have been called to fill in the gaps that science did not understand.

Religion must always be a crab fruit; it cannot be grafted, and keep its wild beauty.

Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some of us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.

I am a man that has a lot of respect for faith and spirituality. I think it is important that we talk about religion in today's world.
