The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry.

I answer only to God.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

The gods too are fond of a joke.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

Only God can look at somebody’s heart.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

Theories are always very thin and insubstantial, experience only is tangible.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible – and no one can now doubt the word of America.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‚Thy will be done,‘ and those to whom God says, ‚All right, then, have it your way.‘

The world is divided into two classes, those who believe the incredible, and those who do the improbable.

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.

As abhorrent as some of this content can be, I do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice.

The more you observe politics, the more you’ve got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

I believe there are no questions that science can’t answer about a physical universe.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

I don’t argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus‘ message was simple.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

For all right judgment of any man or things it is useful, nay, essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his bad.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

You might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.

Nevertheless, it is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose.

The gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

We’re in the last days, man – I truly, in my heart, believe that. It’s written. I could go on with biblical situations and things my grandma told me. But it’s about being at peace with myself and making good with the people around me.

We believe that every single child has boundless promise, no matter who they are, where they come from, or how much money their parents have. We’ve got to remember that. We believe that each of these young people is a vital part of the great American story.

I think that America’s recovery of a global strategic view is an absolutely essential element of our foreign policy.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

I don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.

I don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere.

I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief.

For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world – but it doesn’t happen twice.

No, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.

Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.

I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.

We teach that God’s love for His children is infinite.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

You’ll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
