I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

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.

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.

Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way.

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

I always feel like it’s two key ingredients when it comes to following your dreams, making something happen that the average person deems difficult. If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.

Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

Christians are not limited to any church.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.

To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.

Why am I here? I’m not lucky. That’s God.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.

What interests me in life is curiosity, challenges, the good fight with its victories and defeats.

Men freely believe that which they desire.

I’m actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility.

The U.S. is off the spectrum in religious commitment.

Even if you’re happy with the life you’ve chosen, you’re still curious about the other options.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

If you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

I retain what’s interesting to me, but I don’t have a lot of strategic depth.

I don’t believe in honors – it bothers me. Honors bother: honors is epaulettes; honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

Don’t be misled by those who claim God doesn’t exist, because He does.

What we need is a system of thought – you might even call it a religion – that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.
