If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.

I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.

I just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.

Whether we’re happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.

Grow in the root of all grace, which is faith. Believe God’s promises more firmly than ever. Allow your faith to increase in its fullness, firmness, and simplicity.

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus‘ famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination – the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature.

Lord keep us all from sin. Teach us how to walk circumspectly; enable us to guard our minds against error of doctrine, our hearts against wrong feelings, and our lives against evil actions.

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

There is no uncreated being except God. God has no opposite.

By ancestry, I was born to rule.

Custom reconciles us to everything.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

To destroy is always the first step in any creation.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

I’m sorry my existence is not very noble or sublime.

I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.

The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.

In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.

Politics has always been ugly to me, and yet I accept that as a fact of life.

And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God… They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

You cannot be President of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial in the Civil War and all that stuff.

My father always taught me that when you help other people, then God will give you double. And that’s what has really happened to me. When I have helped other people who are in need, God has helped me more.

I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I’m wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
