No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology.

I’m no longer just a candidate. I’m the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn’t return. I’ve shared the pain of families who’ve lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who’ve lost their jobs.

Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

The ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.

Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned. I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies.

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

I think the self-burning itself on practice of non-violence. These people, you see, they easily use bomb explosive, more casualty people. But they didn’t do that. Only sacrifice their own life. So this also is part of practice of non-violence.

Saints need sinners.

A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.

The facts tell us that no religious Faith releases – or ever has released at any moment in History – a higher degree of warmth, a more intense dynamism of unification than the Christianity of our own day – and the more Catholic it is, the truer my words.

Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.

Folks, you’re the reason that the automobile industry is back. Whether it was the wage freezes, the plant closures, folks, you sacrificed to keep your companies open. Because of your productivity, the combined auto companies have committed to invest another $23 billion in expansion in America.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they’re not satisfied with their prayer life.

Over the course of my career in law enforcement, I have witnessed over and over again the selflessness and sacrifice of law enforcement who lay their lives on the line every day to protect people who they will never meet and people who will never know their names.

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life – knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.

When trouble breaks out, our men and women in uniform, they don’t just sit around thinking about it or talking about it – they act. They put on that uniform. They leave their loved ones behind. They go out there. They give orders. They follow orders. They do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.

I’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky, a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.

Hell is a half-filled auditorium.

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it’s so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell.

There is no injustice in the grace of God. God is as just when He forgives a believer as when He casts a sinner into hell.

Neither the Christian attitude of love for all mankind nor humane hopes for an organized society must cause us to forget that the ‚human stratum‘ may not be homogeneous.

It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.

We were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.

We need to incorporate that age-old concept of redemption into the work that we do in the criminal justice system in California.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

To Marines, love of liberty is not an empty phrase… Rather, it’s displayed by blood, sweat, and tears for the fallen.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

Joan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.

Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
