Pray, and let God worry.

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

Belief creates the actual fact.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.

We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.

If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

We’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

Freedom is relative.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

It’s certainly not wrong to want to be a better person. God gave us that desire.

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.

I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas… cultures… and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word ‚freedom‘ means than I see much evidence of in America.

There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.

I do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

The pagan loves the earth in order to enjoy it and confine himself within it; the Christian in order to make it purer and draw from it the strength to escape from it.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.

When I started out, I didn’t have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.

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.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

I believe in the spirit of equality and the spirit of this country as one of love and compassion and kindness.

Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Know that as a Christian, your destiny is to be Christlike in all of your ways.

I don’t live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free.

Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction.

You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

All men by nature desire knowledge.

I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is the Antichrist.
