Oscar WildeI think God’s justice is making wrongs right.
Joel OsteenIn the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me ‚Jackie Who?‘.
Jackie ChanIf God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.
Joyce MeyerIndividuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.
William JamesI guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.
Neil ArmstrongIf there really is a god, then he really looks after me.
Jackie ChanSmall amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.
Francis BaconWhere there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
Charlie ChaplinThe last proceeding of reason is to recognize that there is an infinity of things which are beyond it. There is nothing so conformable to reason as this disavowal of reason.
Blaise PascalIt’s really fun to put yourself into a character – into shoes you wouldn’t normally be in.
Billie EilishA covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.
Russell M. NelsonStart with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.
King SolomonSometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they’ll say, ‚Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?‘ And they’ll start tailing me. And I don’t mind.
Marilyn MonroeBehold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaIf you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.
Charles SpurgeonA man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint.
Albert SchweitzerImagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.
EpictetusGod made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.
Mark TwainI don’t understand what it’s all about or what’s worth what, but if the people in the Swedish Academy decide that x, y or z wins the Nobel Prize, then so be it.
Richard P. FeynmanNothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.
Charles SpurgeonNo man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.
Robert Baden-PowellReligion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThe best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van GoghSeemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.
Billy GrahamPlaces I’ve lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it’s roots in New Orleans and went crazy.
Jimmy BuffettBeauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
Fyodor DostoevskyI never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.
David BowieGod answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.
Lou HoltzMy mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don’t need another plaque.
Denzel WashingtonI thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.
Mr. TTo get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed.
Samuel JohnsonThe career of a sage is of two kinds: He is either honored by all in the world, Like a flower waving its head, Or else he disappears into the silent forest.
Lao TzuNature and nature’s laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!
Alexander PopeThere is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
Terry PratchettScientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
Richard P. FeynmanI don’t really focus on these things – on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field – stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.
Virat KohliThere is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
Mahatma GandhiI’m glad a genre writer has got a knighthood, but stunned that it was me.
Terry PratchettThere are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mahatma GandhiI don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
Jimmy CarterGod looks after children, animals and idiots.
Lou HoltzThe will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider… the riders contend for its possession.
Martin LutherWaste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
Marcus AureliusWe ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can; and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible; and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.
PlatoGenerally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?
Anne FrankI set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don’t even get printed.
Bob UeckerVirtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
William ShakespeareI love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‚Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da VinciMartyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.
Arthur SchopenhauerI give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.
Galileo GalileiWe often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers – a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinMy understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love.
BonoIt’s cool to be recognised by your peers.
Frank OceanIt’s a very strange thing being recognized or looked upon as someone special.
AuroraMany churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
Billy GrahamI don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, ‚Wow, you’ve done a great job.‘
Abby Lee MillerGod is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

Charles Spurgeon
