Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force – that thoughts rule the world.

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

God doesn’t dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

You just have to have a simple faith.

Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

The ‚morality of compromise‘ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

When it comes to our everyday habits, it’s important to ask: ‚Am I putting God first?‘

You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

From an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.

Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Our God is a forgiving God.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

All religions must be tolerated… for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

Serious illness doesn’t bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.

My mom, she was a very, very soft woman. It was hard for her to yell or even curse. But when it came to fighting for her kids, she found a strength she didn’t always know she had.

The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

Let’s be very clear: Strong men – men who are truly role models – don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

What kind of people do they think we are? Is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?

When I have a terrible need of – shall I say the word – religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.

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

People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

I don’t believe in the school of hard knocks, although I’ve had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is so not true. Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity.

Everywhere on Earth, at this moment, in the new spiritual atmosphere created by the appearance of the idea of evolution, there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in the world: the two essential components of the Ultra-human.

We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

Whoever doesn’t know it must learn and find by experience that ‚a quiet conscience makes one strong!‘

I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.

A man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.
