“I have almost no capacity for worship. What I have is the knowledge that it is my duty to worship and worship only what I believe to be true.”May 19, 1962”

“But what is worship? - to do the will of God - that is worship. And what is the will of God? - to do to my fellow man what I would have my fellow man to do to me - that is the will of God. Now, Queequeg is my fellow man.”

“What's important for me now is the same thing it always was - compassion. I can't think of anything more important. I've loved my fellow citizens. I've loved my children. I'm happy with the opportunity I've had to worship the way I want to worship. I'm not worshipping somebody else's God, but I am insisting on the ability to worship my way, and be the person He would have me be.”

“...is worship too strong a word? yes, I worship you - to worship is to give worth to something – isn’t that what love is all about?...”

“If you have ever said, "I didn't get anything out of worship today," you worshiped for the wrong reason. Worship isn't for you. It's for God. ”

“True worship leaders worship the Lord at all times and use songs only when necessary.”
