I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

Joy is the serious business of Heaven.

In difficult times, we’re not supposed to quit believing; we’re not supposed to quit growing.

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

People always say that you can’t please everybody. I think that’s a cop-out. Why not attempt it? ‚Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.

Within all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

Test yourself on mankind. It is something that makes the doubter doubt, the believer believe.

There’s no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.

Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They’re only powerful when you got your back turned.

Man takes his law from the Earth; the Earth takes its law from Heaven; Heaven takes its law from the Tao. The law of the Tao is its being what it is.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry.

The future is called ‚perhaps‘, which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you.

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

The less you know, the more you believe.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

I really believed that fear is contagious.

Even today we raise our hand against our brother… We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.

The eyes of the soul of the multitudes are unable to endure the vision of the divine.

The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable – and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true.

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

Luck is believing you’re lucky.

I serve God.

I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they’re not all growing in their faith, they’re not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

Do the best you can, and don’t take life too serious.

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

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

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.

I don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere.

I don’t think I’m an unlucky person.

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.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

God’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.

Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.

The fact is, with every friendship you make, and every bond of trust you establish, you are shaping the image of America projected to the rest of the world. That is so important. So when you study abroad, you’re actually helping to make America stronger.

Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

Every spirit makes its house, and we can give a shrewd guess from the house to the inhabitant.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation.

I don’t want to hear the word ‚can’t.‘
