I am a Marxist Leninist and I will be one until the last day of my life.

We have all had the experience of finding that our reactions and perhaps even our deeds have denied beliefs we thought were ours.

Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.

I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.

A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.

A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.

I’m an idealist without illusions.

This way of life is worth defending.

I still think like a Marxist in many ways.

I’m not a conservative of any kind.

When men do not have healthy notions of the Divinity, false ideas supplant them, just as in bad times one uses counterfeit money when there is no good money.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break.

I’ve studied authoritarianism for a very long time – for 40 years – and they’re started by people’s attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory.

Whether or not I like a piece of data has very little bearing on whether or not I am likely to accept it.

My mother always used to say, ‚Well, if you had been born a little girl growing up in Egypt, you would go to church or go to worship Allah, but surely if those people are worshipping a God, it must be the same God‘ – that’s what she always said. The same God with different names.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

It’s one thing to be religious, but it’s another thing to make religion your policy.

Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.

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

Anti-Americanism is a pure totalitarian concept. The very notion is idiotic.

Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know.

The Islamists will try to spoil everything for everyone.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people’s minds.

All great peoples are conservative.

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

We have communion with Christ in His thoughts, views, and purposes; for His thoughts are our thoughts according to our capacity and sanctity. Believers take the same view of matters as Jesus does; that which pleases Him pleases them, and that which grieves His grieves them also.

Whether we’re Democrats, Republicans, or independents – it does not matter. We all understand that an attack on any one of us is an attack on all of us.

George Orwell is half journalist, half fiction writer. I’m 100 percent fiction writer… I don’t want to write messages. I want to write good stories. I think of myself as a political person, but I don’t state my political messages to anybody.

I don’t think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be.

An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.

I just don’t believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

I don’t believe in colleges and universities.

As a former resident with strong personal and ministry ties to the North Star State, I pray that the good people of Minnesota will show their support for God’s definition of marriage, between a man and a woman.

Debt is a social and ideological construct, not a simple economic fact.

When I took over as president, I studied the Constitution, and the more I studied it, the more I realised that it does not prevent the president of India from giving the nation a vision. So when I went and presented this vision in Parliament and in legislative assemblies; everyone welcomed it, irrespective of party affiliations.

One must marry one’s feelings to one’s beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one’s life.

You have your ideology and I have mine.

Superstition is the poetry of life.

That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.

Sorry, I’m still a dialectical materialist.

Jesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except God.

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

I will never say something I don’t agree with or believe in… even if the reward is massive!

Many a man will have the courage to die gallantly, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one.

Religion is not going to come up with any new arguments.

Christians are not limited to any church.

We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.
