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.

Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.

You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Truth is a pathless land.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.

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

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.

We come bulletproof in Ireland. We’re reared tough, and we fight.

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

The ‚soul‘ is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

The strength of a man’s virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

Engineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

I know how to swim through backlash. I can tread water through backlash… If anything, that’s all giving me power.

I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.

What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.

God’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

The thing that I fear discriminating against is humor and truth.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

All religions have been made by men.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.

Pray, and let God worry.

We have art in order not to die of the truth.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

I’m grateful for the evangelical resurgence we’ve seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God’s doing.

Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.

Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity.

God has entrusted me with myself.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I’m drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar.

Truth cannot be brought down; rather, the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountaintop to the valley. If you would attain to the mountaintop, you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices.

The truth is that you can only come to know God when you give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now, because God is always here now.

I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.

What is earnest is not always true; on the contrary, error is often more earnest than truth.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

I read the Bible every day.

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.

I am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

When we look back on all the perils through which we have passed and at the mighty foes that we have laid low and all the dark and deadly designs that we have frustrated, why should we fear for our future? We have come safely through the worst.

Some minds remain open long enough for the truth not only to enter but to pass on through by way of a ready exit without pausing anywhere along the route.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.

I don’t think I’ve ever been an agnostic. I’ve always thought there’s a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there’s a world to come.

It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

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.

Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
