Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

The truth doesn’t hurt unless it ought to.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

To Marines, love of liberty is not an empty phrase… Rather, it’s displayed by blood, sweat, and tears for the fallen.

A Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

The Bible says to ‚fear not,‘ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.

I am just one of many thousands called to be an evangelist.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.

We’re all put on this earth to walk in His image, the Master.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.

God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.

Certainly it is valuable to a trained writer to crash in an aircraft which burns. He learns several important things very quickly. Whether they will be of use to him is conditioned by survival. Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer.

Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor.

Ability without honor is useless.

You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.

One cannot really be a Catholic and grown up.

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

Each daughter of God is of infinite worth because of her divine mission.

Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.

It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.

I’m a strict, strict agnostic. It’s very different from a casual, ‚I don’t know.‘ It’s that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can’t present it as fact.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.

Many a man will have the courage to die gallantly, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one.

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

Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.

I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.

I am an angel. I was sent here from God to heal.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

God always has patience.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.

When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.

I have never left another senator out to dry. Never.

God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.

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

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.

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

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put the desire in me.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

I believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you’re going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them.

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

Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.

If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

The other day the President said, I know you’ve had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. He paused, then said, would you like a puppy?

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.
