To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

No such thing as a man willing to be honest – that would be like a blind man willing to see.

Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.

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

All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I’d worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: ‚Don’t hide these things from me. I’d rather you ask me these things straight out, and I’ll answer all your questions.‘

All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are.

I don’t think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

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.

I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.

I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.

Reparations – not just aid – should be provided by those responsible for devastating Iraqi civilian society by cruel sanctions and military actions, and – together with other criminal states – for supporting Saddam Hussein through his worst atrocities and beyond. That is the minimum that honesty requires.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that’s totally nonsense. I am just one human being.

You have to listen very carefully and tell the truth if you are going to get a paranoid person to open up to you.

No amount of ability is of the slightest avail without honor.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

Morality is contraband in war.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Emotion creates reality, reality demands action.

There’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.

Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.

I just felt that if I went into Speed 2, I just… wouldn’t have come up out of the water.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

I believe in the spirit of equality and the spirit of this country as one of love and compassion and kindness.

For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is harmony in the house; when there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation; when there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

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.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

I ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.

He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.

Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard – especially when it’s hard.

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

Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.

Faith never makes a confession.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.
