You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don’t care who people are as long as they’re themselves, whatever that is.

Let him that would move the world first move himself.

No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.

What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.

It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don’t think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.

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

Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.

We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we’re able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.

I’ve learned never to say never.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I’m not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that’s why they identify with me.

The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.

I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it’s one that’s easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

If the people are happy, united, wealthy, and powerful, we presume the rest. We conclude that to be good from whence good is derived.

Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.

I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.

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.

If we are hungry enough for God, we will find a way into His presence. We should be so hungry for the presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him.

Nobody has ever convinced me that race is real.

There are alway going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

Yeah, I did see where the people dissing me were coming from. But, it’s like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, I can’t really speak on it, because I wasn’t there. I don’t feel like me being born the color I am makes me any less of a person.

To be treated well in places where you don’t expect to be treated well, to find things in common with people you thought previously you had very, very little in common with, that can’t be a bad thing.

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.

God wants to bless us where we are.

Hope is a waking dream.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‚Father, the atheists?‘ Even the atheists. Everyone!

A true man hates no one.

When someone does a small task beautifully, their whole environment is affected by it.

We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.

When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.

I go to cancer wards, and I tell them guys, ‚I’ve beaten it. You can, too.‘

Satan is the master distracter. He is always working to keep us off track in our walk with God.

I ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.

A Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.

Salvation and Christ’s love is a gift. You don’t earn it. You’ve got to receive that gift.

No one can give you better advice than yourself.

I’m so tough and so bad, I can be humble and lift another guy up.

I want to negotiate what I’m worth. I want to put my analytics forward, man-to-man, and to be like, ‚This is what I’m owed now. Pay me.‘ And then we can talk.

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.

All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.

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!

I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.

Freedom lies in being bold.

So far is it from being true that men are naturally equal, that no two people can be half an hour together, but one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other.

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

I’ve used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool… but that’s just natural.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

You have enough people against you… be for yourself.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

People make jokes about my bosoms, why don’t they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It’s obvious I’ve got big ones and if people want to assume they’re not mine, then let them.
