“I submit that religious values and political realities are so inter-linked in the origin and perpetuation of this nation that we cannot lose the influence of religion in our public life without seriously jeopardizing our freedoms.”

“Unpopular minority religions are especially dependent upon a constitutional guarantee of free exercise of religion. We are fortunate to have such a guarantee in the United States, but many nations do not. The importance of that guarantee should make us ever diligent to defend it.”

“None should resist the plea that we unite to increase our concern for the welfare and future of our children — the rising generation.”

“You can never get enough of what you don't need, because what you don't need won't satisfy you.”

“If you wish to marry well, inquire well.”

“If we choose the wrong road, we choose the wrong destination.”

“It's wrong to criticize leaders of the church, even if the criticism is true.”

“We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.”
