Yup.
Flying without wings is bad for your health.
Sun Tzu wrote principles for military and other leaders, yet they are just as applicable in religion and business. The same with the Bible.
Were I to be less literal, I could use that verse you quoted and turn it to my own needs. (not necessarily evil all the time.)
"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
It could also be applied to the fact that a political leader can do anything with the help of the nation. Not quite the same reason as originally written, but accurate nonetheless.
A quote like that could have been used to garner public support for the race to the moon or even, with a bible quoting leader like Bush, to rally people into supporting the trip to Mars or worst of all, a military draft. As you say, not quite what God intended, but valid uses.
I feel that if the use is noble in its aim, why not use it?
