There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

The majesty of God in itself goes beyond the capacity of human understanding and cannot be comprehended by it.. We must adore its loftiness rather than investigate it, so that we do not remain overwhelmed by so great a splendor.

The grace of God has no charms for men till the Holy Spirit gives them a taste for it.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.

I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.

When you believe, all things are possible.

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Every leader is telling a story about what he or she values.

I believe one of the hardest things you can do is conquer your fears, but if you have a goal, then it’s your job to open up and let it be real no matter how scary it seems.

Liberals seem to assume that, if you don’t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don’t really care about the people that they claim to want to help.
