Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

One way to make sure crime doesn’t pay would be to let the government run it.

Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries – for heavy ones they cannot.

The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.

The ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

I serve God.

A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.

Next to religion, baseball has had a greater impact on our American way of life than any other American institution.

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

I strongly believe that for serious and violent criminals, we must absolutely hold them accountable for their crimes and send them to prison.

If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.

I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at gunpoint if necessary.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

If I were a Negro, I’d be fighting, as Martin Luther King fought, for human recognition and justice. I’d rather go down with my flag flying. If you’re weak or crippled, or you can’t speak out or fight back in some way, then people don’t hesitate to treat you badly.

Free trade is not based on utility but on justice.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

A Religion of Evolution: that, when all is said and done, is what Man needs ever more explicitly if he is to survive and ‚superlive,‘ as soon as he becomes conscious of his power to ultra-hominize himself and of his duty to do so.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world… to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

All religions and all communities have the same rights, and it is my responsibility to ensure their complete and total protection. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.

God’s first creature, which was light.

Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.

Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.

Extremely religious, legalistic people have a criticism or judgment about everyone and everything. They just have a way of bringing people down with what they say.

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that’s my religion.

I don’t call myself a Buddhist. I’m a free spirit. I believe I’m here on earth to admire and enjoy it; that’s my religion.

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.

There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

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

Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned. I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies.

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.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

I think it’s healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care – that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

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