I built my church on Easter services, Christmas Eve services, and Norman Vincent Peale.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

Life is but a moment, death also is but another.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

I feel that heterosexual marriage is the more excellent way, and it surely is approved holy by the Holy Bible, and it holds so many more possibilities: the possibilities of having children of both the mother and father, the male and the female.

I have a reputation worldwide of being tolerant of all people and their views. I'm too well-educated to criticize a certain religion or group of people for what they believe in. It's called freedom.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

Probably the one Bible passage that is read by Jews and Roman Catholics, Protestants, Islam, more than any other chapter is Psalm 23. And in Psalm 23 there is a verse that says, 'Surely, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.'

I believe that Christians believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works. And we believe that if you're saved, Jesus becomes your savior. He makes a promise to you. You can trust his promises. You can bank on that word.

If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.

If you're going to counsel people - and that's all my ministry is, it's a counseling ministry more than anything else - people have to believe that they can trust you and that they can listen to you, that you're going to try to help them and not just politically try to convert them to your views.

God's delays are not God's denials.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

Anybody who succeeds is helping people. The secret to success is find a need and fill it; find a hurt and heal it; find a problem and solve it.

Twentieth century history of Christianity will name Oral Roberts as the voice that brought the Pentecostal movement to be taken seriously by mainline Christianity.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

You never suffer from a money problem, you always suffer from an idea problem.

A mission is a place where you ask nonbelievers to come and find faith and hope and feel love.
