God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God… If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.
Mr. TNothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.
Lou HoltzWhat ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man.
Edmund BurkeWhen you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘
Wayne DyerThe act of dying is one of the acts of life.
Marcus AureliusWhat is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.
Henry David ThoreauChristmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.
Joel OsteenGod’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
Desmond TutuMost people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.
Bertrand RussellMy message is that God is a good God.
Joel OsteenThe way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate.
Francis BaconWhen we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one from nature, not humans – an avian flu pandemic.

Baruch SpinozaTell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?… It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.
Pope FrancisTime stays, we go.
H. L. MenckenWell look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

Bob DylanThe world, we are told, was made especially for man – a presumption not supported by all the facts. A numerous class of men are painfully astonished whenever they find anything, living or dead, in all God’s universe, which they cannot eat or render in some way what they call useful to themselves.
John MuirPeople define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they’re not all growing in their faith, they’re not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.
Joel OsteenMy family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week.

Barack ObamaI’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.
Joel OsteenFaith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.
Martin LutherAs soon as you have a language that has a past tense and a future tense you’re going to say, ‚Where did we come from, what happens next?‘ The ability to remember the past helps us plan the future.
Margaret AtwoodEverything in excess is opposed to nature.
HippocratesFacts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous HuxleyPremature certainty is the enemy of the truth.
Nipsey HussleI know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.
Abraham LincolnI like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.
Joel OsteenYou just have to have a simple faith.
Jimmy CarterHonor thy error as a hidden intention.
Brian EnoGlory be and praise to God. I didn’t do any of this. God did. I don’t have a recipe or a blueprint. I prayed for it, and my prayers are continuing to be answered.

EpicurusIf I see a mountain, I just pick up and hike it.
AuroraThe Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
Galileo GalileiI know now that there is no one thing that is true – it is all true.
Ernest HemingwayI do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.
J. ColeI believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.

Wayne DyerEvery man is his own hell.
H. L. MenckenThe golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
George Bernard ShawJesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.
Blaise PascalI believe nothing happens by mistake. You know, the universe has a divine plan. That sounds dramatic.
Lana Del ReyVanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.
Pope Francis
