Woe to him that claims obedience when it is not due; woe to him that refuses it when it is.

I had never been in charge of anything. I’d always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I’d never been in charge of an organization.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

We should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can’t walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.

Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.

All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values.

We have to understand what the older generation has dealt to us, what mess they have created that we have to clean up and live with.

It is my responsibility that I must make demonstrative efforts to reach out to every citizen of the country.

A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.

Honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it.

We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature.

Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.

I’m skeptical of any mission that has advertisers at its centerpiece.

The dropping of bombs on people – isn’t that terrorism?

I desire to press forward for direction to my Master in all things; but as to trusting to my own obedience and righteousness, I should be worse than a fool and ten times worse than a madman.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

I think the great part about what I do is that there’s a scoreboard. At the end of every week, you know how you did. You know how well you prepared. You know whether you executed your game plan. There’s a tangible score.

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.

Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good… Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.

The old-fashioned idea is that responsibility falls upon those who borrow and lend. Money was not borrowed by campesinos, assembly plant workers, or slum-dwellers. The mass of the population gained little from borrowing, indeed often suffered grievously from its effects.

It’s OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.

Helped are those who create anything at all, for they shall relive the thrill of their own conception and realize a partnership in the creation of the Universe that keeps them responsible and cheerful.

I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, ‚Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what’s the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?‘

Abortion isn’t a lesser evil, it’s a crime. Taking one life to save another, that’s what the Mafia does. It’s a crime. It’s an absolute evil.

To do a great right do a little wrong.

The humanists‘ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever.

Many people listen to what I have to say and I appear a lot in media, so therefore I influence a lot of people and therefore I have a bigger responsibility because I have a bigger platform.
