It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.
J. K. RowlingThere are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.
Thich Nhat HanhAll I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Joel OsteenDo you know something? The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted, Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again. Now that was real – it happened when he was in Hell.
Joyce MeyerI’ve learned through my own relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.
Joyce MeyerPhysical elegance, which is what I am talking about here, comes from the body. This is no superficial matter, but rather the way that man found to honour the way he places his two feet on the ground.
Paulo CoelhoI can tell you from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.
Joyce MeyerMotives reveal why we do what we do, which is actually more important to God than what we’re doing.
Joyce MeyerDesire of having is the sin of covetousness.

Joel OsteenAllah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.
Muhammad AliLord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.
Charles SpurgeonThe Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.
Joyce MeyerI have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.
Joyce MeyerThe wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

Joyce MeyerNo, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.
Paulo CoelhoIn religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect – if you’re a moderate on abortion, if you’re a moderate on gun control, or if you’re a moderate in your religious faith – it doesn’t evolve into a crusade where you’re either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.
Jimmy CarterBad men are full of repentance.
AristotleSin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope FrancisAll wars signify the failure of conflict resolution mechanisms, and they need post-war rebuilding of faith, trust and confidence.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamForgiveness is not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday thing, for the rest of your life.
Joyce MeyerSince God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King’s daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.
Joan of ArcDuty cannot exist without faith.
Benjamin DisraeliJesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.
BonoWhen I see grace in a woman, that’s very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.
Matthew McConaugheyI ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.
Kanye WestMen do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.
Fyodor DostoevskyI’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.
Mr. TGod’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.
Joyce MeyerIn our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.
Pope FrancisYou don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.

Lou HoltzBeing a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Billy GrahamSometimes God will deliver you from the fire, and other times God will make you fireproof.
Joel OsteenThe ways of the Lord are different from the ways of man. Man’s ways remove people from office or business when they grow old or become disabled. But man’s ways are not and never will be the Lord’s ways.
Russell M. NelsonBelief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise PascalSir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.
Abraham LincolnGod never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope FrancisI began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.
Fidel CastroThe way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.
Benjamin FranklinPrayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
