A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.
A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
The honest man might observe... that no one gets something for nothing; that politicians go in poor and go out rich; that the Government screws up everything it touches; and that the Will to Believe is best confined to the Religious Venue, as to practice it elsewhere is just too damned expensive.
There are men who think themselves too wise to be religious.
A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example.
Religion is man's attempt to bind himself back to a relationship with God.
A man can preach no better than he prays.
Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.
Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
