It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

Leadership is absolutely vital if there are comparable countries which can affect the security of the world you live in. Between Lincoln and Roosevelt’s time, America was protected by huge oceans and, in practice, by the British navy. Today, it’s different, and the obsession of the Obama administration has been for retrenchment.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

Start your week off right by getting back to what is really important – honoring God.

From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.

If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

I serve God.

My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.

Well, I mean, to me, I think my ultimate – my ultimate goal is winning championships and – and I understand that me going down as one of the greats will not happen until I, you know, win a championship.

I used to read five psalms every day – that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

I give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.

Is man one of God’s blunders? Or is God one of man’s blunders?

There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

God is everywhere.

God to me is love.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

The best argument I know for an immortal life is the existence of a man who deserves one.

I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ‚em out, I pick the round.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.

I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There’s the teaching that we’re supposed to be poor to show that we’re humble. I don’t buy that. I think we’re supposed to be leaders. We’re supposed to excel.

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except God.

There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.

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

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

Distrust and caution are the parents of security.

Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

As a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

He that’s secure is not safe.

The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.

Man’s greatness lies in his power of thought.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.

We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.

Man is only great when he acts from passion.

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
