I groan daily under a body of sin and corruption. Oh for the time when I shall drop this flesh, and be free from sin!

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.

Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.

You don’t have the same mentality as you did five years ago – even one year. People are always changing, and I believe that everyone deserves the space to change and for people to recognize their change.

Nothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.

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

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

The brain may be regarded as a kind of parasite of the organism, a pensioner, as it were, who dwells with the body.

All of us are in the same place, each with our own rooms, and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. Which is totally different than college, where they manage your schedule for you. In the NBA, you’re on your own.

While discipline and freedom seem like they sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, they are actually very connected.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

People who think you could wave a magic wand and the legacy of the past will be over are blind.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well but is intensely rewarding.

If there’s something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.

People have been fed this diet of pabulum, rights, and impulsive freedom. There’s just an absolute starvation for the other side of the story.

I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I’m praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I’m grateful that I’m heard.

There is no such thing as part freedom.

Fiction is such a world of freedom, it’s wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.

I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

My purpose is to help people look at themselves and begin to shift their concepts. Remember, we are not our country, our race, or religion. We are eternal spirits. Seeing ourselves as spiritual beings without label is a way to transform the world and reach a sacred place for all of humanity.

We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

We all have wings, but they have not been of any avail to us and if we could tear them off, we would do so.

I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

For me, being raised in a free America made all the difference.

Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.

Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes, Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn’t take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.

In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.

Responsibility is the price of freedom.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice… No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

Sin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.

Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do. And I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things over the years.

Developing nations want to become developed nations.

Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.

At 155, I will be the same animal, an even better animal.

If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

Prison was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I don’t have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful.

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don’t accept it, it’s their loss.

As you pray for the Holy Spirit to make you aware of thoughts that come into your mind that don’t line up with God’s Word, you’ll begin to realize when those thoughts come and you can renew your mind with the Word.

When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

It’s a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.

Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.

It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.

Corruption is one of the most common reasons I hear in views that criticize aid.
