Morality is of the highest importance – but for us, not for God.

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.

Richard Nixon was an evil man – evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.

Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set.

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

The ‚morality of compromise‘ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

I just know what is right and I want to do what is right.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

I think that when you’re making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second.

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail – I shall succeed.

Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.

In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes.

White… is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black… God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

Good jokes are gems. A good idea is hard to come by. I couldn’t give them to someone else, even for money. It just wouldn’t seem right.

To live outside the law, you must be honest.

Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual.

It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.

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.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.

The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

Taste is the only morality. Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

Politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion.

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.

My faith was tested like Job. That’s the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don’t mean things not gonna happen to you.

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.

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.

Do FBI Agents and FBI directors have political beliefs? Sure they do. But they’re not supposed to act on them.

Development of outlook naturally begins with a respect for God… Reverence to God and reverence for one’s neighbor and reverence for oneself as a servant of God.

Traditions are a common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong, but sometimes they can take the joy out of life.

We are justified in enforcing good morals, for they belong to all mankind; but we are not justified in enforcing good manners, for good manners always mean our own manners.

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

Abortion isn’t a lesser evil, it’s a crime. Taking one life to save another, that’s what the Mafia does. It’s a crime. It’s an absolute evil.

A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today – and in fact we have forgotten.

God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.

You don’t have to be somebody different to be important. You’re important in your own right.

People often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.

A moral monopoly is the antithesis of a marketplace of ideas.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.
