Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a gasoline engine on buttermilk.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.

If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.

One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.

The reason you don't like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.

I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.

Let's quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.

Hell is the highest reward that the devil can offer you for being a servant of his.

Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.

I have more respect for the devil than for some preachers I have met; the devil believes the Bible is the Word of God!

The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers; it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench.

My words will be my legacy, etched in heartfelt honesty upon the pages of time.

The undying motivation to achieve tremendous goals usually comes from acknowledging and having gratitude for small and big achievements.

Never did an eye see the sun unless it had first become sun-like, and never can the soul have vision of the First Beauty unless itself be beautiful.

Negative emotions are like unwelcome guests. Just because they show up on our doorstep doesn't mean they have a right to stay.

The success of a vision is determined by its ownership by both the leader and the people.

Genius is expansive, irresistible, and irresistibly expansive. If it is in you, no cords can confine it.

My sense is that being a First Lady is a full-time job, but I'll know more when the time comes.

The point is, there are some things worth dying for. There's no doubt about that. And I would die for my family. I would die for my freedom. I would die for my country.

Everything characters say or do is a clue to their personalities, their histories, and the forces that motivate them.

Patriotism is the last refuge of the sculptor.
