Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven’t realized it yet.

God has entrusted me with myself.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

I am a simple Buddhist monk – no more, no less.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

I know what I believe, I know what I want to do, and I’m just comfortable saying it, and laying it out there.

When you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘

I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.

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

Everything God tells us to do is for our good. Whether it’s direction you get in His Word or something He’s specifically put in your heart for your situation in life, the absolute best thing you can ever do is obey Him promptly and completely.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

Stay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed!

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

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

When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

It is my absolute belief that Indians have unlimited talent. I have no doubt about our capabilities.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

The ‚soul‘ is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.

Men freely believe that which they desire.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don’t let yourself believe it will happen to you.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‚O God, forgive me,‘ or ‚Help me.‘

But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

I don’t let my religious world get too complicated.

We think when God speaks to us, there’s going to be a boom out of Heaven or we’re going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God’s talking to us all the time. He’s talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it’s the Holy Spirit talking to us.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can; and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible; and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

I was raised a Catholic on both sides of the family. I went to a Catholic grade school and thought everybody in the country was Catholic, because that’s all I ever was associated with.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

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

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

The Bible says that as Christians we don’t grieve the same way people do who have no hope of eternity and of Heaven – but we still grieve.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.

He is lost who is possessed by carnal desire.

I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.

I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.

Propaganda is amazing. People can be led to believe anything.

I was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.

I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.

Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

I’ve never dropped anyone I believed in.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Luck is believing you’re lucky.

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

I believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.

Man has throughout the ages been seeking something beyond himself, beyond material welfare – something we call truth or God or reality, a timeless state – something that cannot be disturbed by circumstances, by thought or by human corruption.

It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
