Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life. – Paul Tillich
Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith. – Paul Tillich
The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable. – Paul Tillich
Mans ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate. – Paul Tillich
I love it when the left and when the president say, Dont try to impose your values on us, you folks who hold your Bibles in your hand and cling to your guns. They have values too. Our values are based on religion, based on life. Their values are based on a religion of self. – Rick Santorum
