Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander.

Do not hide your faith and your beliefs under a bushel basket, especially in this world that seems to have gone mad with political correctness.

Confidence…thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.

Faith in yourself matters.

Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue based on strength of character.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
