There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith. All else is a dispute over trifles.
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille
Do not let Sunday be taken from you If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not.
