I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘

I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

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

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

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

God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what’s happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.

God is patient with us to become the God’s children he wants us to be but you really can see him weeping.

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

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

I don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

Certain though I am – and ever more certain – that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

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.

Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God’s word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us… While what we call ‚our own life‘ remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make ‚our own life‘ less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding.

It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.

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

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

I think I’m like most people – we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don’t deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it’s very hard not to be fearless.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

In times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they’re not all growing in their faith, they’re not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

Life isn’t fair, but God is.

If you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.

He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

Heaven means to be one with God.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

For me, the real earth is that chosen part of the universe, still almost universally dispersed and in course of gradual segregation, but which is little by little taking on body and form in Christ.

We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‚I love you.‘

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.

Man is not born to atheism. He is born to believe.

I believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.

From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That’s what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.

Wanting to feel good is synonymous with wanting to feel God.
