What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

Our words will either bring life and victory or death and destruction. If we want to be happy, we have to be serious about speaking words of life that line up with God’s Word.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.

Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!

I’d like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don’t have misconceptions – they understand. I believe that.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

I used to read five psalms every day – that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

New York is definitely ready for the word of God.

There’s backlash about everything I do.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

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.

There are a lot of ‚chicken Christians.‘ Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

A man may be so much of everything that he is nothing of anything.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

God is on my side, and that’s all I need. I get up in the morning, I pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.

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.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

When your soul is resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace with God, not resisting what He’s doing.

I believed in God when cancer come to me. Now when I speak, I speak with authority because I’ve been there.

We cannot have communion with Christ till we are in union with Him; and we cannot have communion with the Church till we are in vital union with it.

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

I don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I’ll forgive Thy great big joke on me.

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

God always takes the simplest way.

I never have really become accustomed to the ‚John.‘ Nobody ever really calls me John… I’ve always been Duke or Marion or John Wayne. It’s a name that goes well together, and it’s like one word – John Wayne.

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.

I guess it’s flattering that everyone believed I was those characters, but it also is dehumanizing.

Man is not born to atheism. He is born to believe.

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.

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.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

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.

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

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.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

You don’t go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

I know that I’ve been guided by God. I am obedient.
