God helps those who help themselves.

This is America. You’re entitled to believe what you want.

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.

We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

The poetry you read has been written for you, each of you – black, white, Hispanic, man, woman, gay, straight.

My message is that God is a good God.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will, never, never surrender to what is right.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.

I’m just like you – I want to be a good human being. I’m doing my best, and I’m working at it. And I’m trying to be a Christian. I’m always amazed when people walk up to me and say, ‚I’m a Christian.‘ I always think, ‚Already? You’ve already got it?‘ I’m working at it. And at my age, I’ll still be working at it at 96.

I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent’s house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

Sincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.

If you take no risks, you will suffer no defeats. But if you take no risks, you win no victories.

New York is definitely ready for the word of God.

You don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.

I’ve always done whatever I want and always been exactly who I am.

Let the people on both sides keep their self-possession, and just as other clouds have cleared away in due time, so will this, and this great nation shall continue to prosper as before.

I’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.

Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it’s liberating, and it’s empowering when you feel like, ‚Well, I can do that, too.‘

If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.

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.

The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.

You have to stay faithful to what you’re working on.

I’ve always felt heroic about my life… As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn’t think that was the case at all. My parents didn’t treat me as a girl.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act.

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains; if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.

I believe that I have received Jesus Christ into my heart. I believe that he has covered all of my sins.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.

Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

We can never make ourselves better by trying… praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don’t get me wrong… it’s not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it’s good. It’s just that doing them in God’s power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

I’m not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself – then they get to say ‚See, you did it yourself.‘

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

There is no doubt that life is given us, not to be enjoyed, but to be overcome; to be got over.

Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you.

The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.

The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.

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

Anytime someone tells me that I can’t do something, I want to do it more.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

I know the blessing of having a dad who played 16 years in the league. That experience, and seeing him as an example, let me know that it’s possible. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Will power is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see.

No sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.
