The world is divided into two classes, those who believe the incredible, and those who do the improbable.

I serve 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.

Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you’re supposed to be.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.

A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.

The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.

Man is supposed to be the maker of his destiny. It is only partly true. He can make his destiny, only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power.

I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

I don’t think there’s anyone who would say they don’t want or need more of God’s power in their life.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.

I do believe that there are places where the mythological and the literal touch.

The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society.

God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

I answer only to God.

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

‚Your Erroneous Zones’ was the book that went over the top simply because I believed in it so much.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Our country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

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 believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.

Responsibility, I believe, accrues through privilege.

We teach that God’s love for His children is infinite.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

God doesn’t do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

What I’m asking for is hard. It’s easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn’t possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don’t matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.

I confused things with their names: that is belief.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

I’ve always believed in God. I also think that’s the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you’re in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

I believe there are no questions that science can’t answer about a physical universe.

I have to be seen to be believed.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

I do not believe any of the statistical claims that are made about public opinion. I don’t see why anybody does.

I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.

God helps those who help themselves.

I don’t believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

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.

Sin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

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

Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn’t matter.
