I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

I think there should be regulations on social media to the degree that it negatively affects the public good.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Let man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

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?

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.

Fight with a happy heart.

God doesn’t love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face.

If you don’t set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.

After launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.

Don’t feel sorry for me.

I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

One of the things that we’re trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren’t all tied to Facebook identity. Some things will be, but not everything will have to be, because there are some sets of experiences that are just better with other identities.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

Whoever feels predestined to see and not to believe will find all believers too noisy and pushy: he guards against them.

I do know this… I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.

For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Each one prays to God according to his own light.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

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

I am one of those people who believes that the solution to the world’s problems is to be found behind the Iron Curtain.

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.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.

I tweet in the morning and the evening. To write 12 hours a day, there is a moment when you’re really tired. It’s my relaxing time.

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.

What if others suffer shipwreck, yet none that sail with Jesus have ever been stranded yet.

It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.

Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.

There’s nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.

Happy the people whose annals are vacant.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

As you pray for the Holy Spirit to make you aware of thoughts that come into your mind that don’t line up with God’s Word, you’ll begin to realize when those thoughts come and you can renew your mind with the Word.

Sin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

I just think that it’s strong and it’s important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it’s about the birth of our Savior, and there’s a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.

As we know, while our species remains alive, everybody has the sacred duty to be optimistic. Ethically, any other behaviour wouldn’t be admissible.

A dark cloud is no sign that the sun has lost his light; and dark black convictions are no arguments that God has laid aside His mercy.

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

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

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

The less you know, the more you believe.

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
