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.

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

He didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.

Much publishing is done through politics, friends, and natural stupidity.

There are a lot of self-imposed restrictions by people who somehow believe they have to fall in with a certain military cant. There was always a sense that we had to put things into words that would touch our troops‘ hearts, not just their heads.

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

Government actually grew during the Reagan years.

One must marry one’s feelings to one’s beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one’s life.

This election is about who’s going to be the next President of the United States!

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one’s soul.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanization of politics.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.

There are some people who need to wear a label round their necks to show that they are Christians at all, or else we might mistake them for sinners, their actions are so like those of the ungodly.

The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.

Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

I felt I had to solve everyone’s problems.

My father wasn’t perfect. He had a temper. I took some of that. He would snap, but the older he got, he started calming down. He learned about life, but the thing that he taught my whole family was that family was the most important thing and, no matter what, if a family member needs you, you go and help them out; you get there.

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

You start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they’re not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don’t care about money, and that’s not my problem.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.

People do not make wars; governments do.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values – that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.

I’m grateful for the evangelical resurgence we’ve seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God’s doing.

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

I hate to see anybody sink. I hate to see anybody lose their dream, lose their home, something like that.

I’m a mentor to anybody who’s interested.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.

I support immediate financial assistance to the newly elected Palestinian president. Now, I don’t know what those numbers will be, and I don’t know how it’s going to be framed.

A President cannot always be popular.

When people are around us, they should leave better off than they were previously. Rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, people should feel challenged and inspired after spending any time with you and me.

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.

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.

When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.

Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.

A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.

I have a terrifying long list of fears. Literally everything – diseases, spiders… and people getting tired of me.

The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.

I would just say there is one misperception of our veterans, and that is they are somehow damaged goods. I don’t buy it.

A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.

Integrity has no need of rules.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

If you want someone to say, ‚She’s so sweet, and she’s so cute, and, honey, point your foot,‘ that’s not my school. You can go to the YMCA and have a nobody teach your kid if that’s what you want to hear.

I was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.

I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.

Certain though I am – and ever more certain – that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.
