I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ.

Purposes, plans, and achievements of men may all disappear like yon cloud upon the mountain’s summit; but, like the mountain itself, the things which are of God shall stand fast for ever and ever.

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.

I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.

We often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers – a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.

I pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.

You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.

Before God we are all equally wise – and equally foolish.

You cannot be President of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial in the Civil War and all that stuff.

On a spiritual level, it’s as though with my sighted eye I see what’s before me, and with my unsighted eye I see what’s hidden. It’s illuminated life more than darkened it.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

I give thanks to God and to all the people in the U.K. who have supported me over the years.

God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I wish that the Indians believed me a god, for upon the report of an enemy’s valor oftentimes depends the success of a battle, and false reports have many times done as great things as true courage and resolution.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

I desire to press forward for direction to my Master in all things; but as to trusting to my own obedience and righteousness, I should be worse than a fool and ten times worse than a madman.

Pray, and let God worry.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

It’s so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one.

Worry – a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

All men are born with a nose and five fingers, but no one is born with a knowledge of God.

New York is definitely ready for the word of God.

I think God’s going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that’s their gift.

True praise comes often even to the lowly; false praise only to the strong.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

Honoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they’re just one thing.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

No one can live without relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a sannyasi, wander off into the desert by yourself, but you are related. You cannot escape from that absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation.

There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.

Your Highest Self is not just an idea that sounds lofty and spiritual. It is a way of being. It is the very first principle that you must come to understand and embrace as you move toward attracting to you that which you want and need for this parenthesis in eternity that you know as your life.

I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.

Being no bigot myself to any mode of worship, I am disposed to endulge the professors of Christianity in the church, that road to heaven which to them shall seem the most direct plainest easiest and least liable to exception.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

Every spirit makes its house, and we can give a shrewd guess from the house to the inhabitant.

I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don’t have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.
