I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

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.

A lot of churches have not moved with the times.

We are not at war against Islam.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

For I can raise no money by vile means.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

I believe in the Golden Rule – The Man with the Gold… Rules.

Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.

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

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.

I don’t think anything about a personal legacy. I mean, those words would never come out of my mouth unless I just repeated them. Those things have never been important to me.

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

The word ‚Christianity‘ is already a misunderstanding – in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

Occasionally the conflict between ‚what we stand for‘ and ‚what we do‘ has been forthrightly addressed.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason!

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

My father used to have an expression. He’d say, ‚Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about your place in your community.‘

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

It’s honestly true that money means nothing to me.

Every child that isn’t born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

The Hindu religions gave me the impression of a vast well into which one plunges in order to grasp the reflection of the sun.

Of course, animals have to be killed for food or to prevent their doing injury to others or to property. But such killing is too often carried out without regard to the pain inflicted.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.

Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set.

Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

I’ve said this time and again: My greatest concern coming into the White House was making sure my girls came out whole and normal, and decent and kind, just like I would expect them to if we were living on the South Side of Chicago. And it takes work to keep White House life normal for the kids.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

I believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn’t think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.

The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life’s wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.

The Trump phenomenon is in large part a reaction of Middle America to attacks on its values by intellectual and academic communities. There are other reasons, but this is a significant one.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

Respect is one of life’s greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don’t have that?

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

I answer only to God.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

When we speak of faith – the faith that can move mountains – we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

As president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values and your vision and the life experiences that make you who you are.

The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Our diplomacy and development budget is not just about reducing spending and finding efficiencies. We need a frank conversation about what we stand for as that ‚shining city on a hill.‘ And that conversation begins by acknowledging that we can’t do it on the cheap.

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.
