The devil is not fighting religion. He´s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.

Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.

At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.

Satan is not fighting churches; he is joining them. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition.

It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.

A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.

If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven; you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.

Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.

The primary qualification for a missionary is not love for souls, as we so often hear, but love for Christ.

Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Break the rules, stand apart, ignore your head, and follow your heart,

By night an atheist half-believes in God.

My dreams kind of came through when I went to see the cinema.

Oh, America! I could never leave you! You're like my dog, dumb as a post but you make me laugh!

I hated going to school, mainly because my sister would drive me and she would put her make-up on while she drove. That's dangerous. That should be illegal.

Pretending to be other people is my game and that to me is the essence of the whole business of acting.

I love to win, but I love to lose almost as much. I love the thrill of victory, and I also love the challenge of defeat.

I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.

In my case, adulthood itself was not an advance, although it was a useful waymark.

Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day.
