Beto’s copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington… they would be happy to confiscate America’s guns. And if you don’t believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.

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

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.

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout’s obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.

I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

I have to be seen to be believed.

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don’t have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I’m sure he didn’t call everybody jerks.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

I can’t really criticize the Tea Party people, because I came into the White House pretty much on the same basis that they have become popular. That is dissatisfaction with the way things are going in Washington and disillusionment and disencouragement about the government.

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

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.

Guns are bad, I tell you.

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

I believe in that old adage that ‚as goes California, so goes the country.‘

I don’t spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that’s how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

Theology is unnecessary.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.

If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.

Duty cannot exist without faith.

I shall never be a heretic; I may err in dispute, but I do not wish to decide anything finally; on the other hand, I am not bound by the opinions of men.

Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

I don’t think even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence at all.

The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind.
