Faith is the most important thing in the world to me. It's the greatest strength I've had. It's helped me get through the hard times. You're not going to win every one of your football games. I've always said I'm not going to make football my god. A lot of coaches put so much into coaching football games that they have nothing left.
My wife and I love children. We have five of our own. I would ask that anyone who looks up to me would instead look up to God. I am nothing without Him. Everything I do in life and in baseball is to glorify Him.
God is a verb, not a noun.
There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God.
Thank God for the journey.
Attributing to anything or anyone more good than God has attributed to them is not a positive move, nor does it mean that you have done them any good. A single grain of truth is preferable to a bumper harvest of false imaginings.
I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort.
If you're going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy; God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't.
Those who persevere in sin are those who are held in abhorrence by God, but those who abandon the ways of sin are loved by the Lord.
We can't form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.
The Japanese do not fear God. They only fear bombs.
I know that you are part of me and I am part of you because we are all aspects of the same infinite consciousness that we call God and Creation.
Sometimes I think God wants there to be a circus so we can show there's another way to respond.
My every action is to liberate God from his sorrow.
I read God's word when I am not suffering. And then I don't have to all of a sudden establish this habit when I am hurting.
It is God who gives us the opportunity to win and to get victories.
There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you tomorrow.
I'm a sports guy. Football, God, I flip out.
We are not sent into this world mainly to enjoy the loveliness therein, nor to sit us down in passive ease; no, we were sent here for action. The soul that seeks to do the will of God with a pure heart, fervently, does not yield to the lethargy of ease.
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike.
The existence of a single atheist does not disprove the existence of God.
While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.
O my God, what must a soul be like when it is in this state! It longs to be all one tongue with which to praise the Lord. It utters a thousand pious follies, in a continuous endeavor to please Him who thus possesses it.
I think God's really blessed me with patience. I'm good with a lot of things going on at once.
Everyone who understands the nature of God rightly necessarily knows that God is to be believed and hoped in, that he is to be loved and called upon, and to be heard in all things.
'Noah' is about a man whose mission is to obliterate Earth's past and godfather its future. Replacing the word 'God' with 'Creator' and taking other scriptural liberties, the movie risks confusing those who don't take the Bible literally and alienating those who do.
Philosophies change by the day while God never changes, simply because, being perfect, He does not have to change!
But in Christianity, by contrast, the freedom of the children of God was also freedom from all important worldly interests, from all art and science, etc.
But He Himself hath sealed your sufferings, and their thus saying condemns God, and His sealing condemns them.
God hears a mother's prayer.
Malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man.
I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.
I know that those who esteem these little organised associations to be the churches of God, see nothing but mere meetings of men in every other gathering of God's children.
I wrote The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God in five hours, but I had it all planned out. It isn't poetry and it does not pretend to be, but it does what it sets out to do.
As man now is, God once was; as God is now man may be.
