Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.

No one wants to see curvy women.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself.

How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before.

How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?

I thought I would be a guy on the radio.

God made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.

If something can corrupt you, you’re corrupted already.

Association with human beings lures one into self-observation.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

A sense of the universe, a sense of the all, the nostalgia which seizes us when confronted by nature, beauty, music – these seem to be an expectation and awareness of a Great Presence.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.

I love money because I’ve earned it. I won sixty G’s with my first knockout – and the week before, I was collecting social welfare.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.

What a terrible thing to have lost one’s mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.

I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody’s life.

We acquire the strength we have overcome.

Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

Back in the day, what motivated me was overcoming myself. Now I believe in being a leader. I’ve done it all – I’m good. Now, it’s about setting an example for others to follow. I can’t just talk it – I have to live it.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.

God wants to bless us where we are.

The experience of pain or loss can be a formidably motivating force.

My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.

Yeah, I was a delinquent. It was when I was in the ninth grade. I was doing stupid stuff, and the cops came into the class. I was humiliated more than anything.

I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

I’m not critic-proof, and I still take it personally, but I take it less personally now.

I have made a few mistakes early on that I admit myself, and there have been times when I have gone over the top and done things that you shouldn’t do in international cricket, but that’s how you learn.

With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.

I don’t compare myself to anyone else; I don’t make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that’s okay by me.

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.

I learned that very often the most intolerant and narrow-minded people are the ones who congratulate themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness.

The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.

That’s something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings.

My pride fell with my fortunes.

I’m not talent. Not considered ‚talent‘ by Lifetime. I’d like to say I’m their savior, but that would be cocky.

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

You get one life. I’m going to embrace mine.

I have my flaws too, but I am a professional who doesn’t like to miss or lose.

I used to get the feeling, and sometimes I still get it, that sometimes I was fooling somebody; I don’t know who or what, maybe myself.

I never make conscious decisions.

Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.

I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.

Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.

In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.

All religions must be tolerated… for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

My wife is already in Heaven.

There’s a part of you – the born-again part, your spirit – that’s dead to sin. That’s why it bothers you now when you sin. The ‚wilderness‘ part of you – your soul – is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
