I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny.

You don’t tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.

A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.

Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

God is everywhere.

I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that’s it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called ‚The Truth‘.

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.

The scab is a traitor to his God, his mother, and his class.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

The universe is not indifferent to our existence – it depends on it.

Everything is subject to change except God Himself.

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

Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

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

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

Nothing in the universe is contingent, but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

Some men do think I’m a psycho bunny-boiler.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.

If an eloquent speaker speak not the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.

God spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.

I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail – I shall succeed.

Allah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.

There’s a personality trait known as agreeableness. Agreeable people are compassionate and polite. And agreeable people get paid less than disagreeable people for the same job. Women are more agreeable than men.

The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

Without gambling, I would not exist.

Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.

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.

There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, ‚Truth is the daughter of Time.‘

Power is not sufficient evidence of truth.

Men are like lions. We hunt.

What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.

Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.

One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

The false is nothing but an imitation of the true.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation.

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

There’s always an element of self delusion among people who believe they ought to be President. There’s an underestimation of your opponent and an overestimation of your own abilities. This is compatible with being rich and powerful, the idea that we were blessed by God because we deserve to be blessed.

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
