The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.

I believe in the Golden Rule – The Man with the Gold… Rules.

The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.

Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‚security,‘ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.

I’m a Christian by choice.

I don’t believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

To spend life for something which outlasts it.

God answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

The African is my brother but he is my younger brother by several centuries.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

Faith never makes a confession.

I had to make a choice at one point in my life, of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much.

America is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college – the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes – the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream. That’s what America is about.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

Traditions are a common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong, but sometimes they can take the joy out of life.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is harmony in the house; when there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation; when there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

When I get up and work out, I’m working out just as much for my girls as I am for me, because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly, who invests in them, but who also invests in herself. It’s just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.

We were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

When you stand for something, you’ve got to stand for it all the way, not half way.

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.

God’s dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.

My grandmother used to embarrass me more, when she would pick me up from school wearing a big fuzzy hat. I didn’t like that.

About morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

I hope my own children never have to fight a war.

Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn.

A man must now swallow more belief than he can digest.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

Adults are obsolete children.

I serve God.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

My mom is very religious – Catholic – and from a young age they brought me to the church.

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away, but once a fortune is inherited it’s less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.

I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.

I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.

I am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

I did have two dads; one was a socialist, and one was a capitalist. I really decided I would rather be a capitalist.

OK, I have a nickname. My family calls me ‚Trey‘ because I’m William the third. My dad has the same name, which is always confusing because my dad is well known, and I’m also known.

The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.

There is no index of character so sure as the voice.

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

I was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.

Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That’s what’s important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.

How sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!

I want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He’s given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball’s taught me on and off the court. For the people that I’ve been able to meet through the game of basketball.

Conversion is a change of masters. Will we not do as much for our new master, the Lord Jesus, as we did once for our old tyrant lusts?
