I create stars.

Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist. Our existence is beyond our understanding. No one has an answer.

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.

There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation’s braggart lords.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.

The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate… we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.

I was enjoying myself writing, because I don’t know what’s going to happen when I take a ride around that corner. You don’t know at all what you’re going to find there. That can be thrilling when you read a book, especially when you’re a kid and you’re reading stories.

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

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

I was being trained because I wanted to be a preacher like my father. I wanted to talk about Moses; I wanted to talk about God… I wanted to talk about the apostles, the disciples and all that.

A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.

Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

Purposes, plans, and achievements of men may all disappear like yon cloud upon the mountain’s summit; but, like the mountain itself, the things which are of God shall stand fast for ever and ever.

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.

Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.

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

London is too full of fogs and serious people. Whether the fogs produce the serious people, or whether the serious people produce the fogs, I don’t know.

I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

Life isn’t fair, but God is.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.

God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.

Surely the wake left behind by mankind’s forward march reveals its movement just as clearly as the spray thrown up elsewhere by the prow.

The union of the Word and the Mind produces that mystery which is called Life… Learn deeply of the Mind and its mystery, for therein lies the secret of immortality.

My faith was tested like Job. That’s the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don’t mean things not gonna happen to you.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.

I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail – I shall succeed.

I don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.

And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God… They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.

Creation is a miracle of daily recurrence. ‚A miracle a minute‘ would not be a bad slogan for God.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

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