Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?

When all is said and done, what constitutes the impregnable superiority of Christianity over all other types of Faith is that it is ever more consciously identified with a Christogenesis: in other words, with an awareness of the rise of a certain universal Presence which is at once immortalizing and unifying.

The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

To feel not only submitted but willing to be anything or nothing as the Lord wills it – this is, in truth, to sing a song to our Well Beloved.

The poor are discussed as this homogeneous mash, like porridge. The idea that they might be individuals, and be where they are for very different, diverse reasons, again seems to escape some people.

I trust my taste. I trust it completely and I always have done, and I’ve always thought it isn’t that different from everybody else’s.

The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

My style has always been my own, just like my flow and style.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

As the father of eight children, I’m quite convinced that each individual arrives here with their own unique personality. We are intended here from an invisible held of infinite potentiality. That which has no form, has no boundaries – it’s the I that’s in the ever-changing body.

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

We are second-hand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences, and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves: nothing original, pristine, clear.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

Until you pray, God cannot work.

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

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‚begats‘ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‚Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple… There’s a human-rights issue.‘

All of us, no matter how we look born into this world, feel something like the Hunchback. It doesn’t matter if you have a beautiful face or not.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.

I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.

Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

Only God can look at somebody’s heart.

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

Start your week off right by getting back to what is really important – honoring God.

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.

I sincerely believe… that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

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

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

God always takes the simplest way.

I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

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 believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.

It’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.

Faith never makes a confession.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

If you only believe that you’re an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that’s quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

Whoever feels predestined to see and not to believe will find all believers too noisy and pushy: he guards against them.

‚They‘ are the people that don’t believe in you, that say that you won’t succeed. We stay away from ‚They.‘

Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.
