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

God wants to bless us where we are.

What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other’s folly – that is the first law of nature.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Sooner or later, jihadist-style terror and WMD are going to come together and the consequences could be horrendous.

In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence and loathing seizes him.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

God doesn’t dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

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

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

I think God’s going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding.

God looks after children, animals and idiots.

I remember one parent-teacher conference at the lower school, and Barack went, and there were SWAT guys on top of the roof of the school. And Malia was like, ‚Dad, really? Really? Do they really have to be up there?‘ And it’s like, yeah, honey, they do.

With all singers, insecurity is your best security. That’s why we’re such loud people and why we walk all funny. You think, ‚Are people interested?‘ But I think our band has something and they know we don’t just put albums out. We do think about it.

Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.

If social stability goes pear-shaped, you have a choice between anarchy and dictatorship. Most people will opt for more security, even if they have to give up some personal freedom.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune’s inequality exhibits under this sun.

Desire is the essence of a man.

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

Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine called man! Oh the little that unhinges it, poor creatures that we are!

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

In that film, the man and the part met. As far as I’m concerned, that part is Greg’s for life. I’ve had many, many offers to turn it into musicals, into TV or stage plays, but I’ve always refused.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.

The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.

In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.

The discontented man finds no easy chair.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

These poems, with all their crudities, doubts, and confusions, are written for the love of Man and in praise of God, and I’d be a damn‘ fool if they weren’t.

If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact.

I think that man has a fundamental obligation to extract from himself and from the earth all that it can give; and this obligation is all the more imperative that we are absolutely ignorant of what limits – they may still be very distant – God has imposed on our natural understanding and power.

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

I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

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

People don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

The progress of India is the destiny of one-sixth of humanity. And it will also mean a world more confident of its prosperity and more secure about its future.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

The U.S. has strategic and economic interests in Southeast Asia that must be secured. Holding Indochina is essential to securing these interests. Therefore, we must hold Indochina.

To be great is to be misunderstood.

God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.

If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. He has a heart capable of mirth, and naturally disposed to it.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.

The little man is still a man.

To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.

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.

It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

I believe that God breathed life into every person and that every person is made in the image of God and you have accept them as they are, on their journey. I’m not here to preach hate or push people down.

Man, unlike anything organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.
