I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter ' that if you return to a practice of the faith faith will return.

From those to whom much is given much is expected. I have been given much - the love of my family the faith and trust of the people of New York and the chance to lead this state. I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me.

All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That addressed as free-born autonomous men and women of God-given dignity they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.

In the evening of life we shall be judged on love and not one of us is going to come off very well and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.

Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.

Directly after the show people might have responded better to it but who really knows. It did what it did and while it seems like a failure to most but it was a success for me and has given me so many opportunities.

The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain without a thought being given to the real strong hold.

I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.

He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.

Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best.

But because we've all been readers we know what the experience is like and we hope that what certain writers have given to us we will give to someone.

The world is given to me only once not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences for this barrier does not exist.

In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater it's a more concentrated and quiet experience.

Given that religious faith is an intrinsic element of human experience it is best to approach and engage the subject with a sense of history and a critical sensibility.

There are some hurts that we experience that can be forgiven but we won't forget them.

Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.

I deepen my experience of God through prayer meditation and forgiveness.

I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it's like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.

The American economic political and social organization has given to its citizens the benefits of material prosperity political liberty and a wholesome natural equality and this achievement is a gain not only to Americans but to the world and to civilization.

The land is ours. It's not European and we have taken it we have given it to the rightful people... Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so but they must do so on the basis of equality.

I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.

Civilization has given us enormous successes: going to the moon technology. But then this is the civilisation that took us to debt environmental crisis every single crisis. We need a civilization where we say goodbye to these things.

It seems that every time mankind is given a lot of energy we go out and wreck something with it.

The very effect of the education they were given... was to make men think and thinking they became less and less satisfied with the miserable pays they received.
