Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

Time was when they that feared the Lord spake often to one another; I am afraid that now they more often speak one against another.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Men know not the gold which lies in the mine of Christ Jesus, or surely they would dig in it night and day. They have not yet discovered the pearl of great price, or they would have sold their all to buy the field wherein it lies.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

I am just one of many thousands called to be an evangelist.

It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate.

Pray, and let God worry.

In times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.

I don’t think you ever really know what all you’re doing, so you have to act on faith.

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

I don’t believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

I myself have been on my own and utterly independent since I graduated. I haven’t belonged to any company or any system. It isn’t easy to live like this in Japan.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

The people respect and believe in men who fulfill their duty.

Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

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

The most positive men are the most credulous.

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.

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

I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.

Everything that enlarges the sphere of human powers, that shows man he can do what he thought he could not do, is valuable.

If there is one thing I fear less than everything else, it is, I believe, persecution for my opinions. There are a good many points about which I may be diffident, but when it comes to questions of Truth and intellectual independence, there is no holding me – I can envisage no finer end than to sacrifice oneself for a conviction.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

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

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, ‚Hey, I did my religious duty.‘ That’s fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you’re talking to God. Even if it’s in your thoughts.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

You don’t have to be somebody different to be important. You’re important in your own right.

It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‚I love you.‘

There’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

I’ve never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I’m a good person. I believe I’m a good mom. But that’s for my kids to decide, not for the world.

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.
