Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

The sadness of the women’s movement is that they don’t allow the necessity of love. See, I don’t personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

When you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.

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.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

Worship is transcendent wonder.

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

It take many a year, mon, and maybe some bloodshed must be, but righteousness someday prevail.

We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things.

In this age, I don’t care how tactically or operationally brilliant you are: if you cannot create harmony – even vicious harmony – on the battlefield based on trust across service lines, across coalition and national lines, and across civilian/military lines, you need to go home, because your leadership is obsolete.

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

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

I have learned to know God. I have recast my social belief… All my admirers are married; most of my friends are dead; and I stand with all the world before me, where to choose a path to make in it.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘

Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable.

Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.

In the divine milieu, all the elements of the universe touch each other by that which is most inward and ultimate in them. There they concentrate, little by little, all that is purest and most attractive in them without loss and without danger of subsequent corruption.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me. I want to stay hopeful, even though I get scared about why we’re even alive at all.

I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

I try to look on all the great things God’s done, and not focus on the negative. It’s a perspective.

If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

If we are hungry enough for God, we will find a way into His presence. We should be so hungry for the presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him.

Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

To our brothers in Latin America and the world, we must convey that the Cuban people will overcome.

As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

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.

Such is the feebleness of humanity, such is its perversity, that doubtless it is better for it to be subject to all possible superstitions, as long as they are not murderous, than to live without religion.

Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair, there is no hope.

Religion is just mind control.

Honoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.

It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.

Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

All those who believe in psychokinesis – raise my hand.

Belief creates the actual fact.

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

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