I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!

I have nowhere claimed nor even implied that unbelief is a guarantee of good conduct or even an indicator of it.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

People from North India are generally known to be aggressive and emotional.

I really believed that fear is contagious.

Lying is not only saying what isn’t true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

A promise must never be broken.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

The truth doesn’t hurt unless it ought to.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

Wherever the invitation of men or your own occasions lead you, speak the very truth, as your life and conscience teach it, and cheer the waiting, fainting hearts of men with new hope and new revelation.

Power when wielded by abnormal energy is the most serious of facts.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.

Most of the people that I deal with are human. So I’ve had a lot of experience with that.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.

Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

President Assad, I worked with. I know him reasonably well, met with him a few times, and he’s a liar.

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

Part of the reason there’s an injunction to the truth, for example, is that if you’re in a circumstance of extreme uncertainty, your best weapon, let’s say, or your best tool or your best defense is the truth, because it keeps things simpler.

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable.

What I’m asking for is hard. It’s easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn’t possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don’t matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

‚They‘ are the people that don’t believe in you, that say that you won’t succeed. We stay away from ‚They.‘

I’m not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don’t walk away from it when something unfolds.

Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

Truth has rough flavours if we bite it through.

Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.

Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I’ll give you an example; I don’t read what’s handed to me. People say, ‚Here, here’s your speech, or here’s an idea for a speech.‘ They’re changed. Trust me.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

To be Catholic is the only way of being fully and utterly Christian.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
