Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

Partition is bad. But whatever is past is past. We have only to look to the future.

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

The Election Commission stopped me from campaigning. I accepted it and reached people through my prayer - in silence. People gave their approval. Praying in silence is important, and this spiritual prayer has paid off.

Catholic theology believes that God gave man free will, and you can't give somebody free will and then send in a play from the sidelines.

There's no question that a public official of either party can take it too far, and it's up to the candidate to be able to strike that balance, the balance that is the separation of church and state. The way I've always looked at this is that every candidate has a right to talk as much or as little about their faith as they deem appropriate.

God doesn't love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face.
