I have never believed much in luck, and my sense of humor has tended to walk on the dark side.

I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.

Our country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.

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.

Men often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.

Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

What I like about the jokes, to me it’s a lot of logic, no matter how crazy they are. It has to make absolute sense, or it won’t be funny.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

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

Memories are thoughts that arise. They’re not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.

I have always believed in God.

It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.

I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‚I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.‘ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

We teach that God’s love for His children is infinite.

The cause of my life has been to oppose superstition. It’s a battle you can’t hope to win – it’s a battle that’s going to go on forever. It’s part of the human condition.

Such is the feebleness of humanity, such is its perversity, that doubtless it is better for it to be subject to all possible superstitions, as long as they are not murderous, than to live without religion.

I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.

For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.

You might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.

I believe in a passion for inclusion.

I don’t think even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence at all.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

It’s amazing how people will give when you don’t ask. Many of them send money because they believe in the message.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

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.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you’re advancing. If you don’t you’re as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn’t there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

I don’t think I’m an unlucky person.

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

The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.

Only one in four jokes ever works, and I still can’t predict what people will laugh at.

I wish that the Indians believed me a god, for upon the report of an enemy’s valor oftentimes depends the success of a battle, and false reports have many times done as great things as true courage and resolution.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

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

Beto’s copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington… they would be happy to confiscate America’s guns. And if you don’t believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

I’ve been fortunate. I don’t pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.

I will continue to believe that Israel’s security is paramount.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

I just think that it’s strong and it’s important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it’s about the birth of our Savior, and there’s a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

Our generation in the west was lucky: we had readymade gateways. We had books, paper, teachers, schools and libraries. But many in the world lack these luxuries. How do you practice without such tryout venues?
