Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

You have to be tough and have a lot of faith.

The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.

All of my writing is God-given.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

God made and governs the world invisibly, and has commanded us to love and worship him and no other God; to honor our parents and masters, and love our neighbours as ourselves; and to be temperate, just, and peaceable, and to be merciful even to brute beasts.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

Hate has no place in the house of God.

All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

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

My faith was tested like Job. That’s the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don’t mean things not gonna happen to you.

God’s first creature, which was light.

The career of a sage is of two kinds: He is either honored by all in the world, Like a flower waving its head, Or else he disappears into the silent forest.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.

Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?

Being no bigot myself to any mode of worship, I am disposed to endulge the professors of Christianity in the church, that road to heaven which to them shall seem the most direct plainest easiest and least liable to exception.

Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

To ‚choose‘ dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid.

Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us… While what we call ‚our own life‘ remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make ‚our own life‘ less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?

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

When you feel like it’s too hard to obey God, remember that He will never tell you to do something without giving you the grace, power and ability to do it.

I’ve been praying that we might have a spiritual awakening. But I think that becomes possible as individuals surrender their lives fresh and anew to Christ.

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

Man is not born to atheism. He is born to believe.

My great-grandfather and his two brothers fought at Gettysburg. They were in artillery, and they survived the war, thank goodness. So I revere what they did. I think their motivations were honorable when they undertook the war and participated in it along with other Southerners.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people’s lives.

Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius.

Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.

Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.

Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

The gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there’s no question about it.

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Power is not sufficient evidence of truth.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

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.

Your body has space within you that cannot die.

Ability without honor is useless.

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.

Power is the measure of the degree of control you have over circumstances in your life and the actions of the people around you. It is a skill that is developed by a deep understanding of human nature, of what truly motivates people, and of the manipulations necessary for advancement and protection.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.
