I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

It’s never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory.

Some Christians feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‚spiritual.‘ Somehow or another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem irrelevant to their faith.

Nothing’s ever easy as long as you go on living.

I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

It’s in the difficult times that we’re growing and you can’t just rebuke everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and pass the test.

I was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life’s not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.

Even more amazing than modern technology is our opportunity to access information directly from Heaven, without hardware, software, or monthly service fees.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God’s children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The ‚many mansions‘ are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.

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.

The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn’t still be a farmer.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.

I don’t want no handouts. I want to get it out the mud.

With Kansas, I had a four-year deal. The initial two months were real tough. I had to adjust a lot. Then, things started looking up.

If you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it’s more fun.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

God knows what we are going through when we grieve, and He wants to assure us of His love and concern. He also wants us to turn to Him and bring our heartaches and burdens to Him.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.

I have never been bewildered for long in any fight with our enemies – I was Armed with Insight.

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

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.

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

Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

It’s like a jar of salad dressing sitting on a shelf… most of the seasoning settles to the bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients mix together and then the dressing can add flavor to a salad. In the same way, we can stir ourselves up and regain the reverence, respect and awe we once had for the Lord.

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

The only way round is through.

I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.

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

I think, for years, people have been pushed down by religion, and I don’t say that disrespectfully, but they’ve been shown a God that you can’t measure up to.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.

I’m the most stubborn person I know.

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

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

God answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

You can’t divorce religious belief and public service I’ve never detected any conflict between God’s will and my political duty. If you violate one, you violate the other.

It’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.

I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.

It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.
