George Bernard Shaw

Ralph Waldo Emerson

People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

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.

Man and his Maker.
