Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

I’m not that keen on the idea of being unconscious.

It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to create him.

Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

My mind doesn’t work, my memories don’t work like a computer file where I can just retrieve them and, boy, there it is. My mind is selective in terms of memories. When I try to think back to college or high school, there are gaps. I try to fill them in. But I can’t tell you it’s always the truth.

It was the experience of mystery – even if mixed with fear – that engendered religion.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.

Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

God always wants us to be growing.

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.

I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.

I’m kind of claustrophobic… It’s not even like enclosed spaces. It’s like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can’t get out.

Faith activates God – Fear activates the Enemy.

And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‚Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?‘ We must always consider the person.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

Men want to make women happy.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

I’d be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I’d been given. I’d be more frightened by procrastination and laziness.

Frankly, I think that the news industry is critically important because it points out things and surfaces truths that can often be uncomfortable. I think that that’s working, and the spotlight has been pointed on things that we have a responsibility to do better, and I accept that.

There is a group of people that I think in good faith honestly believe that further curtailing our Second Amendment rights will enhance public safety. But there’s another group that just hates the Second Amendment.

Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man.

Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.

People react to fear, not love; they don’t teach that in Sunday School, but it’s true.

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

A lot of truth is said in jest.

The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.

Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.

Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

The safest course is to do nothing against one’s conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.

My message is that God is a good God.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

The truth is, I had always wanted to be a comedian, but I really didn’t have that kind of personality, and it’s a terrifying thing to say.

I just want to lobby for God.

Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.

Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.

There are many levels of Christianity. There are many notions about God. To believe that God is a person is just one of the notions of God that you can find in Christianity. So, we should not say that there is one Christianity. There are many Christianities.

How is it possible for someone who believes that the world was created in six days to have a rational conversation with me, who doesn’t believe that, about other possibilities?

The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.

He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.

Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.

It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.

The only thing I’m afraid of is bees. I don’t like bees. I’m allergic to them.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

India has 2,000,000 gods and worships them all. In religion, all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.

Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason!

Those thoughts are truth which guide us to beneficial interaction with sensible particulars as they occur, whether they copy these in advance or not.

Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.

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.
