To imply that religious believers have no right to engage moral questions in the public square or at the ballot is simply to establish a Reichian secularism as our state faith.

We will never fully explain the world by appealing to something outside it that must simply be accepted on faith be it an unexplained God or an unexplained set of mathematical laws.

In properly organized groups no faith is required what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.

I looked at some of the statues of Jesus they were just stones with no life. When they said that God is three I was puzzled even more but could not argue. I believed it simply because I had to have respect for the faith of my parents.

An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God.

Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you therefore no harm can befall you all is very very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations yes but above all with blazing serene hope.

I simply don't believe in failure. In itself it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.

Before this government came to power many failing schools were simply allowed to drift on in a pattern of continuing failure. The government is determined to break that pattern and is successfully doing so.

By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability is simply attracting the best-educated most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there.
