I’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

God has entrusted me with myself.

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, ‚I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior’s power to bless others.‘

Not brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.

One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.

The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.

As you read or listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.

A man cannot become an atheist merely by wishing it.

I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.

For those of you who do not know Him, choosing your eternal home is the most important decision you will ever make.

There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

My wife is already in Heaven.

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

I’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.

I’ve always believed in God. I also think that’s the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you’re in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exists.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

I get up every morning and say, ‚Father, give me strength today, not strength so I can lift 500 pounds, but give me strength, Lord, so when I speak, my words might motivate, might inspire somebody, Lord, when they see me, let them see you. When they hear me, Lord, let them hear you. In your holy name I pray.‘

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

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.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

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

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.

Only God can look at somebody’s heart.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

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

To feel not only submitted but willing to be anything or nothing as the Lord wills it – this is, in truth, to sing a song to our Well Beloved.

Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.

Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God’s children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The ‚many mansions‘ are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.

Motives reveal why we do what we do, which is actually more important to God than what we’re doing.

God wants to bless us where we are.

Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.

It’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.

So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

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.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego’s insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.
