God doesn’t love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face. You know, I prayed about it a long, long, long, long, long time, because there again, I wouldn’t want to do anything that I felt was going to be offensive to God.

Within all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.

Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I’ve had my breasts lifted – but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway.

The fact that you are willing to say, ‚I do not understand, and it is fine,‘ is the greatest understanding you could exhibit.

You’ve got to have faith in what you’re doing and not take no for an answer.

Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‚I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.‘ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.

I was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.

The only thing I know is I ain’t changing my brand. I know what I believe. I’m confident in what I know. And I’m gonna say it. And if folks like it, wonderful. If they don’t like it, I understand.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I’m cool with the praise. I’m good.

I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of ‚star‘ and I didn’t particularly want to be portrayed as one.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‚O God, forgive me,‘ or ‚Help me.‘

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I’d get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

There isn’t anybody that looks like me without clothes on.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause.

When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‚Why god? Why me?‘ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‚There’s just something about you that pisses me off.‘

I’m actually starting to like more and more people who have convictions that are unpopular.

Most people already know what they’re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.

Humans are amphibians – half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.

Your Highest Self is not just an idea that sounds lofty and spiritual. It is a way of being. It is the very first principle that you must come to understand and embrace as you move toward attracting to you that which you want and need for this parenthesis in eternity that you know as your life.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

I don’t spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that’s how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

I’ve had no contact with my daughter for years. That’s her choice. Anyway, you move on. If people don’t want to bother with me, fine. You know, God bless them, and move on.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God.

I love being American, and I love family. I love having a family, and I feel so blessed, and I feel like God gave me exactly what I wanted, so now I have to do the right thing in God’s eyes also. Just follow what God wants me to do.

I’m not afraid to die, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.

We are separated from God on two sides; the Fall separates us from Him, the Tree of Life separates Him from us.

Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God’s final word on where your lips end.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I’m not frightened by anyone’s perception of me.

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that’s how we’ve got to live.

God 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.

I’m afraid that people who know me as I usually am will discover I have another side, a better and finer side. I’m afraid they’ll mock me, think I’m ridiculous and sentimental and not take me seriously. I’m used to not being taken seriously, but only the ‚light-hearted‘ Anne is used to it and can put up with it; the ‚deeper‘ Anne is too weak.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.

I was never particularly fond of my voice.

When 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.

I serve God.

Everywhere on Earth, at this moment, in the new spiritual atmosphere created by the appearance of the idea of evolution, there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in the world: the two essential components of the Ultra-human.

God is everywhere.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

Cast away your sloth, your lethargy, your coldness, or whatever interferes with your chaste and pure love for Christ, your soul’s husband. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all your soul’s range of delight.

I’m very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

I think the healthy way to live is to make friends with the beast inside oneself, and that means not the beast but the shadow. The dark side of one’s nature. Have fun with it and you know, is to accept everything about ourselves.
