Joyce MeyerIt’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.

Thich Nhat HanhI was in my late thirties when my eyes were opened to truth in God’s Word that showed me I wasn’t living the abundant life Jesus died for me to have. I had a very negative mindset and was miserable most of the time because of the abuse I had experienced throughout my childhood.
Joyce MeyerFaith activates God – Fear activates the Enemy.

BonoI believe Karl Marx could have subscribed to the Sermon on the Mount.

George H. W. BushYou cannot be President of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial in the Civil War and all that stuff.
George H. W. BushTo say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.
Pope FrancisI don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.
Joel OsteenI have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.
Pope FrancisBilly Graham is one of my great lifetime heroes. I think he epitomizes the essence of what a Christian leader should be.

Russell M. NelsonYou better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.
Hunter S. ThompsonI’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 OsteenI believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
Pope FrancisI believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.
Robert Baden-PowellIf a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.

Alice WalkerIt is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.

Bad BunnyThere is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.
William JamesI don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.
Jane GoodallThe knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.
Blaise PascalOur inquiring friends and neighbors not of our faith can also catch the wave. We encourage them to keep all that is good and true in their lives. And we invite them to receive more, especially the glorious truth that through God’s eternal plan, families can be together forever.
Russell M. NelsonYou don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.
