A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

H. L. MenckenI fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.
Russell M. NelsonJesus said, ‚The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.‘ I think if he lived nowadays, instead of ‚kingdom,‘ he would have said, ‚dimension.‘ And ‚heaven‘ refers to a sense of vastness or spaciousness.
Eckhart TolleI don’t believe in death, neither in flesh nor in spirit.
Bob MarleyScience has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous HuxleyGod screens us evermore from premature ideas.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
E. E. CummingsIf you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
Elbert HubbardI am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘

Billy GrahamPlenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.
Joseph AddisonThose convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
Dale CarnegieThe most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.
Aldous HuxleyAbout Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they’re just one thing.
Joan of ArcFaith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.
Blaise PascalHe best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.
B. C. ForbesFaith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.
Blaise PascalOur faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.
Joyce MeyerGod just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

Russell M. NelsonGod has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
Dolly PartonWhere love is, there God is also.
Mahatma GandhiI’ve discovered that when we take time to renew our minds with God’s Word, we learn how to think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act.
Joyce MeyerFor me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.
Beyonce KnowlesAct, and God will act.
Joan of ArcI do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.
Lou HoltzZen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
Alan WattsAll religions must be tolerated… for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

Napoleon BonaparteThe one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.
Billy GrahamI’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.
Billy GrahamGod is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.
BonoI believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

Charles SpurgeonUntil you pray, God cannot work.
Joyce MeyerI was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

Johann Wolfgang von GoetheA better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.
Douglas MacArthurAnd, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Jesus ChristI 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 CarterI tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.
Henry AdamsThe Bible says that as Christians we don’t grieve the same way people do who have no hope of eternity and of Heaven – but we still grieve.
Billy GrahamBeto’s copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington… they would be happy to confiscate America’s guns. And if you don’t believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.
John KennedyYou hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
Bob DylanThe infinite faith I have in people’s ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.

Mahatma GandhiMan has throughout the ages been seeking something beyond himself, beyond material welfare – something we call truth or God or reality, a timeless state – something that cannot be disturbed by circumstances, by thought or by human corruption.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiDespotism can only exist in darkness, and there are too many lights now in the political firmament to permit it to remain anywhere, as it has heretofore done, almost everywhere.
James MadisonAn evil person is like a dirty window, they never let the light shine through.
William Makepeace ThackerayHonoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.
Russell M. NelsonFrom an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.
Russell M. NelsonChristianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.
Joyce Meyer
