He is dead in this world who has no belief in another.

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

I don’t spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that’s how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

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

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn’t everything.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

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

The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that’s totally nonsense.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

God wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.

If you think it’s going to rain, it will.

I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

We’re in the last days, man – I truly, in my heart, believe that. It’s written. I could go on with biblical situations and things my grandma told me. But it’s about being at peace with myself and making good with the people around me.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

There are four Powers: memory and intellect, desire and covetousness. The two first are mental and the others sensual. The three senses: sight, hearing and smell cannot well be prevented; touch and taste not at all.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.

I don’t think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

All those who believe in psychokinesis – raise my hand.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

I’ve always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.

I’m not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don’t walk away from it when something unfolds.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

To the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren. I have constantly declared, as I really believed, the only difference between them and us is the difference of circumstances.

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

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

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

The infinite faith I have in people’s ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.

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

All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent.

There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.

The people respect and believe in men who fulfill their duty.

I don’t argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus‘ message was simple.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.
