“God Has a reason”

“Behind every trial and sorrow that He makes us shoulder, God has a reason.”

“God has granted you a special talent. It's now your duty to hone that talent, because a person who wastes his God-given talents is a donkey.”

“there is a God, there always has been. I see him here, in the eyes of the people in this [hospital] corridor of desperation. This is the real house of God, this is where those who have lost God will find Him... there is a God, there has to be, and now I will pray, I will pray that He will forgive that I have neglected Him all of these years, forgive that I have betrayed, lied, and sinned with impunity only to turn to Him now in my hour of need. I pray that He is as merciful, benevolent, and gracious as His book says He is.”

“If there's a God out there, then i would hope he has more important things to attend to than my drinking scotch or eating pork.”

“and every day I thank [God] that I am alive, not because I fear death, but because my wife has a husband and my son is not an orphan.”

“I see America has infused you with the optimism that has made her so great”
