Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

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

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
