Nevertheless, it is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man’s heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.

The most positive men are the most credulous.

Men often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.

The world moves, and ideas that were once good are not always good.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

I’ve never dropped anyone I believed in.

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

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveler.

The situation in the sciences is this: A concept or an idea which cannot be measured or cannot be referred directly to experiment may or may not be useful. It need not exist in a theory.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.

I wish that the Indians believed me a god, for upon the report of an enemy’s valor oftentimes depends the success of a battle, and false reports have many times done as great things as true courage and resolution.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

I have nowhere claimed nor even implied that unbelief is a guarantee of good conduct or even an indicator of it.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work – not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.

I serve God.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

The march of the human mind is slow.

I just think that it’s strong and it’s important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it’s about the birth of our Savior, and there’s a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.

My message is that God is a good God.

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

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

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

I don’t think there’s anyone who would say they don’t want or need more of God’s power in their life.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream that this watch exists and has no watchmaker.

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

I don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere.

I’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

Well, we can’t say any more than we can say there is no god, there is no afterlife. We can only say there is no persuasive evidence for or argument for it.

I don’t think you ever really know what all you’re doing, so you have to act on faith.

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.

Nobody believes in completely unadulterated capitalism.

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.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

To the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren. I have constantly declared, as I really believed, the only difference between them and us is the difference of circumstances.

Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.

God does not play dice.

My success isn’t a result of arrogance – it’s a result of belief.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
