I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

The vibe in our locker room is real energetic and fun and real personable, I think from Day 1. That gets you through a lot of tough times, where in hard times, it might be common nature for guys to do their own thing and split up and become silent.

I am a Catholic, not so committed to the church, but to the idea of the Virgin, the female face of God.

He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.

Trump is a national disgrace and an international pariah.

I don’t think Romney is wacky at all, but religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things, believe and affirm crazy things. Left on his own, Romney would never have said something like the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri, and will be again.

The President’s post should not be politicised. Once a president is elected, he is above politics.

God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.

I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.

Empire and liberty.

I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

The British constitution has always been puzzling and always will be.

I think big business is a terrible thing for the spirit of the country, as our spirit is the best thing about us.

If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.

I think governments can’t do much.

Politics is the art of controlling your environment.

Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.

That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all to be an undecided experiment; now, it is understood to be a successful one.

I haven’t been very active in politics.

I think Canadians are more interested in international events than Americans because it is such a small country, so politics affect it more.

We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.

I remember how my mother would bring us to chapel on Sundays… and my father used to wait outside. One of the things that I picked up from my father and my mother was the sense that religion often gets in the way of God. For me, at least, it got in the way.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don’t think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

You can’t have it all, all at once. Who – man or woman – has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

We are born believing. A man bears beliefs as a tree bears apples.

I have been a firm believer in the federal structure of our country as enshrined in the Constitution.

How is it possible for someone who believes that the world was created in six days to have a rational conversation with me, who doesn’t believe that, about other possibilities?

General consultant to mankind.

Only the aspirants for president are fool enough to believe what they read in the newspapers.

A person who can’t pay gets another person who can’t pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don’t make either of them able to do a walking-match.

Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music.

It’s rare for a startup to make money immediately, so you need to make sure that you have enough saved or that you have another income stream that can support you.

The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.

I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‚fat cat‘ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‚public-spirited philanthropist‘.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.

Fighting for one’s freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again.

If I studied all my life, I couldn’t think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.

We can’t all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.

The notion that we have even one single veteran living on the streets should be just considered a travesty to all of us.

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money’s sake.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

I don’t believe in God but I’m very interested in her.

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.

It’s plain hokum. If you can’t convince ‚em, confuse ‚em. It’s an old political trick. But this time it won’t work.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.
