I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report.

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.

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

The natural cause of the human mind is certainly from credulity to skepticism.

The lessons of history would suggest that civilisations move in cycles. You can track that back quite far – the Babylonians, the Sumerians, followed by the Egyptians, the Romans, China. We’re obviously in a very upward cycle right now, and hopefully that remains the case. But it may not.

Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?

I purposely don’t talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It’s not about the money.

As we speak, Iran has rolled back its nuclear program, shipped out its uranium stockpile, and the world has avoided another war.

My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

I would impress upon your minds the fact that if you want to do a man justice, you should believe what a man says himself rather than what people say he says.

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

Reactionaries often describe both Marx and Lenin as theorists, without taking into consideration that their utopias inspired Russia and China – the two countries called upon to lead a new world which will allow for human survival if imperialism does not first unleash a criminal, exterminating war.

The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.

Trust, but verify.

I’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.

There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

I have no doubt that Russia will and should remain a major source of energy supplies for Europe and the world.

The sadness of the women’s movement is that they don’t allow the necessity of love. See, I don’t personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it.

If you don’t know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

When we were a smaller company, Facebook login was widely adopted, and the growth rate for it has been quite quick. But in order to get to the next level and become more ubiquitous, it needs to be trusted even more.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

China has many successful entrepreneurs and business people. I hope that more people of insight will put their talents to work to improve the lives of poor people in China and around the world, and seek solutions for them.

I trust my taste. I trust it completely and I always have done, and I’ve always thought it isn’t that different from everybody else’s.

Everybody has forgotten that Russia helped start the Second World War.

I think really, China, Chinese, I think they really have a long history of civilization, rich culture.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.

China is certainly an important player in the global economy, and a widespread AIDS epidemic would threaten that growth.

I do not believe any of the statistical claims that are made about public opinion. I don’t see why anybody does.

The United States is afraid of China; it is not a military threat to anyone and is the least aggressive of all the major military powers.

Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to trust your team. It’s a lesson I’ve had to relearn quite a few times.

People need good lies. There are too many bad ones.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

Even an animal, if you show genuine affection, gradually trust develops… If you always showing bad face and beating, how can you develop friendship?

It’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.

The United States supports a strong, united Ukraine with productive and peaceful relationships with both the East and the West, with both Russia and Europe.

Quacks are a part of our culture, and we all fall prey to them. Who among us can say, for sure, that even our own personal physicians are honest and competent?

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

One lesson that every nation can learn from China is to focus more on creating village-level enterprises, quality health services and educational facilities.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

To say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn’t do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.

China adopted a capitalist system in the 1980s, and they went from a 60% poverty rate to 10%.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.

If you treat people right they will treat you right… ninety percent of the time.

She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.

Why should Iran have a deterrent strategy? Well, it’s surrounded by hostile enemies. Both of its borders have been under occupation by a hostile superpower, the United States, which is constantly violating the U.N. charter by leaving open what they call the saying, ‚all options are open‘ – meaning the threat of war.

Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

I don’t like people going behind my back.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.
