It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.

The terrorist action of 9/11 gave birth to President Obama’s entry to the White House. Not directly, but indirectly.

When Hillary served in the Senate, I saw her work day and night as a member of the Armed Services Committee – working with Republicans and Democrats to keep our military strong and protect our troops and their families.

A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.

Glam really did plant seeds for a new identity. I think a lot of kids needed that – that sense of reinvention. Kids learned that however crazy you may think it is, there is a place for what you want to do and who you want to be.

Accept the terrible responsibility of life with eyes wide open.

God does not play dice.

Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

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

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they’ve tried everything else.

I think there’s a lot of similarity between what people try to do with religion with what they want from art. In fact, I very specifically think that they are same thing. Not that religion and art are the same, but that they both tap into the same need we have for surrender.

I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

If I have cash and I can’t figure a way to put it into real estate or my business, I hold it in gold and silver.

The U.S. couldn’t even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They’ll be killing each other again in less than a year. I’m sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

Nationalism has a way of oppressing others.

I’ve analyzed the best I can… and I have not found an impeachable offense, and therefore resignation is not an acceptable course.

We are moving towards a world that is reordering itself and that may appear more ordered at some periods of time, but I see no sign that we are moving towards a world order in my definition of it – namely, a system which is accepted, which is internalized by the majority of the key participants.

People often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

You might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.

That we must all die, we always knew; I wish I had remembered it sooner.

I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

We have a tendency to condemn people who are different from us, to define their sins as paramount and our own sinfulness as being insignificant.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

Religion was instituted to make us happy in this life and in the other. What must we do to be happy in the life to come? Be just.
