With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

I always laugh and say I met God on the way up, and I got to know him on the way down. And so, as I’m crashing and losing everything, a lot of people run to God when they are struggling. And I was no exception.

I cannot think that when God sent us into the world, he had irreversibly decreed that we should be perpetually miserable in it. If our taking up the Cross imply our bidding adieu to all joy and satisfaction, how is it reconcilable with what Solomon expressly affirms of religion, that ‘her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace?’

What is the benefit of fasting in our body while filling our souls with innumerable evils? He who does not play at dice, but spends his leisure otherwise, what nonsense does he not utter? What absurdities does he not listen to? Leisure without the fear of God is, for those who do not know how to use time, the teacher of wickedness.

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

God is not a dead equation!

For me, the Beatles are proof of the existence of God.

Adoration is caring for God above all else.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

God is love, and His law is love. Its two great principles are love to God and love to man.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

Sometimes you ask God for something and you don’t know what you’re asking.

God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.

The best thing of all is God is with us.

God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame.
