I personally have always found the Unitarian faith a source of comfort and help in my daily life.

I just sort of take it from a character perspective and I don't know if he was necessarily spiritual but I do think he had hope. He was a character that was comfortable having hope in his life and hope is faith.

In Barack Obama Democrats have put forth a man of strong religious faith who is comfortable connecting his spiritual life to his public role as a policymaker.

Christianity is not the faith of the complacent the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls like Wesley Wilberforce Bonhoeffer John Paul the Second and Billy Graham. Each showed in their own way the relentless and powerful influence of the message of Jesus Christ.

Now God be praised that to believing souls gives light in darkness comfort in despair.

Don't take too much comfort in the fact that you're successful today because tomorrow could bring failure. There's no surety in life.

And I went to New York and died for 10 years I walked those pavements. I can't think of New York without feeling uncomfortable and feeling like a failure.

I'm very comfortable with failure. I'm very comfortable being the guy who disappoints people.

What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked 'a majority of the majority ' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.
