“Thank God for novelists. Thank God there are people willing to write everything down. Otherwise, so much would be forgotten.”

“Thanks be to God we lived so long and did so much good.”

“Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world? It is not he who prays most or fasts most; it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice; but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it. Could you therefore work miracles, you could not do more for yourself than by this thankful spirit, for it turns all that it touches into happiness.”

“Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!”

“Thank God for you, Ender. Thank God.”

“I will deny I ever said this, of course, but the gods need heroes. They always have. Otherwise we would not keep you annoying little brats around."I feel so wanted. Thanks.”
