Difference of opinion is helpful in religion.

Nothing but free argument, raillery and even ridicule will preserve the purity of religion.

Religion is life, philosophy is thought; religion looks up, friendship looks in. We need both thought and life, and we need that the two shall be in harmony.

The real test of any church or religion is the kind of men it makes.

No Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as 'what a man does with his solitude.'

No great advance has been made in science, politics, or religion without controversy.

Hangout with people who respect you. And people who inspire you.

A friendship with a woman is not a sin. (It's) a friendship. A romantic relationship with a woman who is not your wife, that is a sin.

Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.

Encouragers are people who have been successful themselves. They are people who stepped up and took risks and were able to accomplish things they may not have believed possible. Encouragers are the kind of people you can share your goals with and they will encourage you to go for it. Encouragers will also share their own mistakes with you and tell you how they overcame them to achieve success.

Surround yourself with people who want the best for you and the people you love!
