God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

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

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

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.

A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.

I don’t easily fall for lies, I can see through things.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live as if there isn’t and to die to find out that there is.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

People often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.

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

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
