The blame is his who chooses: God is blameless.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

All men are born with a nose and five fingers, but no one is born with a knowledge of God.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

Man was made at the end of the week’s work, when God was tired.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.

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.

God spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.

I just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.

Being prime minister is a lonely job… you cannot lead from the crowd.

I don’t write the books. God writes the books and delivers the speeches.

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

It is my responsibility that I must make demonstrative efforts to reach out to every citizen of the country.

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society.

God never promised us a trouble-free life.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth… That’s the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

There’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

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.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

I think if someone gets kicked in the face it is their fault – they watched the foot come towards their face.

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.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand.

Every family should have the right to spend their money, after tax, as they wish, and not as the government dictates. Let us extend choice, extend the will to choose and the chance to choose.

What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.

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.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

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

We all have the duty to do good.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

I lived a sloppy life. So I took very small increments in my life. I started making my bed. I started cleaning my room. There were dishes in the sink. It started off with doing small house chores. I saw that the yard needed to be mowed. So instead of being told it needed to be mowed, I would mow it.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

I do the dishes every night – other people volunteer, but I like the way I do it.

He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.

After you finish a book, you know, you’re dead. But no one knows you’re dead. All they see is the irresponsibility that comes in after the terrible responsibility of writing.

Leadership is a choice, not a position.

Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!

Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of ‚easy believism.‘ There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.

The function of posterity is to look after itself.

When anyone has the power to destroy the whole human race in a matter of hours, it becomes a moral issue. The church must speak out.

But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

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

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

God wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.
