Now in New Jersey we have more government workers per square mile than any state in America. But since I've been governor we now have fewer people on the state payroll at any time since Christie Whitman left office in January 2001. That's the right direction Mr. President not the wrong direction.

In my view the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children under a free government ought to be instructed.

The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.

I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.

In fact I thought that Christianity was very a good and a very valuable thing for us. But after a while I began to feel that the story that I was told about this religion wasn't perhaps completely whole that something was left out.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another it's about the Christian ethic it's about kindness.

Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.

We are persuaded that good Christians will always be good citizens and that where righteousness prevails among individuals the Nation will be great and happy. Thus while just government protects all in their religious rights true religion affords to government it's surest support.

God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.

I want to love all the children of God - Christian Jew Moslem Hindu Buddhist - everyone. I want to love gay Christians and straight Christians.
