Act, and God will act.
Joan of ArcI just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce MeyerI work very hard, but when God opens that door for you – when life opens that door for you, I should say – I think it’s important to be giving, to return the love back.
Lady GagaGod to me is love.
Kendrick LamarWhen we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.
Jimmy CarterIf you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
Elbert HubbardThe trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool.
Stephen KingNo, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.

Desmond TutuPrayer is a confession of one’s own unworthiness and weakness.
Mahatma GandhiLord, help my poor soul.
Edgar Allan PoeGod spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.
Florence NightingaleGod not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.
Stephen Hawking‚Bellyache‘ is totally fictional. I like writing about things that aren’t real. The song is about not trusting anyone and then putting trust in yourself and realizing that you don’t know what you are doing, either. Or realizing that things you do with a group of people that you think are cool in the moment are ultimately all on you.
Billie EilishPrayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Billy GrahamPrayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Mahatma GandhiWhenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
Thomas JeffersonI tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus ChristI believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.
Maya AngelouYou can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.
Joel OsteenMe don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.
Bob MarleyLord 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 SpurgeonWe hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.
George EliotThe Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you’re making a mistake but let you go on with it, that’s when it ruins your mind state as an artist.
Kendrick LamarWhen you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.
George W. BushA sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit’s aid than he can create a world.
Charles SpurgeonGod not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen HawkingWhen Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.
C. S. LewisNever trust any complicated cocktail that remains perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in, and then immediately clouds.
Terry PratchettConsider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night’s date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn’t think of looking at another woman.
Marilyn MonroeTo study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Hermann HesseIt’s so easy to settle for less than God’s best for us because we don’t always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God’s will.
Joyce MeyerTo gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin LutherNobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Alexander HamiltonIt’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
Steve JobsIt is better to be deceived by one’s friends than to deceive them.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheBelief 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 PascalIf the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists – to protect them and to promote their common welfare – all else is lost.
Barack ObamaSisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!
Emily DickinsonLook for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
C. S. LewisIn 1995, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to practice what I preached. I had always said to ‚believe in God‘ and ‚don’t give up‘ to little kids who had been diagnosed with cancer. I then thought if I can’t call on that same God and same strength that I told people about, I would be a liar and a phony.
Mr. TWe cannot have communion with Christ till we are in union with Him; and we cannot have communion with the Church till we are in vital union with it.
Charles SpurgeonWhen individual members of the team are highly disciplined, they can be trusted and, therefore, allowed to operate with very little oversight.
Jocko WillinkGod has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
Dolly PartonThere is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.
William JamesA religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
Mahatma GandhiFaith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
Mahatma GandhiWhen we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.
Joyce MeyerReligion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaAnd the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.
Alan WattsI find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.
Douglas AdamsOne word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks.
Charles SpurgeonSometimes the hardest thing to do is to trust your team. It’s a lesson I’ve had to relearn quite a few times.
Robert KiyosakiI believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.
George W. BushThere are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.
Thich Nhat HanhSecrets are things we give to others to keep for us.
Elbert HubbardYou will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.
Charles SpurgeonNot only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen HawkingI believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you’re a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
Joel Osteen
