“The gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation in life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations!”

Scandal dies sooner of itself, than we could kill it.

We have not only multiplied diseases, but we have made them more fatal.

Without the restraints of religion and social worship, men become savages much sooner than savages become civilized by means of religion and civil government.

I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism.

I have alternately been called an Aristocrat and a Democrat. I am neither. I am a Christocrat.

Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us.

Mothers and schools plant the seeds of nearly all the good and evil which exists in the world.

A belief in God’s universal love to all his creatures, and that he will finally restore all of them that are miserable to happiness, is a polar truth. . . It establishes the equality of [humanity]. . .

As the War Office of the United States was established in a time of peace, it is equally reasonable that a Peace Office should be established in a time of War.

Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights.

Let us show the world that a difference of opinion upon medical subjects is not incompatible with medical friendships; and in so doing, let us throw the whole odium of the hostility of physicians to each other upon their competition for business and money.

A simple democracy is the devil’s own government.

Now if the study of the Scriptures be necessary to our happiness at any time in our life, the sooner we begin to read them, the more we shall be attached to them.

The great enemy of the salvation of man, in my opinion, never invented a more effective means of limiting Christianity from the world than by persuading mankind that it was improper to read the Bible at schools.

Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others.

I do not believe that the Constitution was the offspring of inspiration, but I am as satisfied that it is as much the work of a Divine Providence as any of the miracles recorded in the Old and New Testament.

Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.

I was scared of the Bible – it seemed whenever I read it I got bad luck. Then I befriended a couple of Jesus’s disciples and I used to show them modern life – how to run the hot and cold taps and things like that. They seemed alright but it didn’t change my feelings about the Bible jinx.

As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus probably would be, except for one or two issues, a liberal Democrat if he were around today.

Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!

The heart of Christ can be seen through the openings of his wounds. For what can prove to me so clearly as your wounds that you, O Lord Jesus, are sweet & mild & plenteous in mercy.

I model my life after my Lord and Master Jesus Christ and his life. He has called me into God’s family and I am a representative for him so I just try to be obedient to what He asks me to do.

Do what Jesus says… what he commands through his ministers who are in the Church [see 1 Cor 6:4]. Be subject to his vicars, your leaders, not only those who are gentle and kind, but even those who are overbearing [see 1 Pt 2:18].

Moses led his people through the wilderness and he wasn’t permitted to enter the Promised Land. Jesus was crucified.
