Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI always thought Johnny Carson was just brilliant, and I used to watch him and all the comics that would be on the show every night – and I’d dream about it being me.
Steven WrightYou and I, the people of God, have permission to come before the throne of Heaven at any time we will, and we are encouraged to come there with great boldness.
Charles SpurgeonMy life has been long, and believing that life loves the liver of it, I have dared to try many things, sometimes trembling, but daring still.
Maya AngelouWe are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.
Samuel JohnsonThe thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.
Marilyn MonroeOur words have wings, but fly not where we would.
George EliotIt is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.
Blaise PascalI never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
Dave GrohlThis is not a bad life.
Stephen KingThe ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.
Terry PratchettGod made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
Joel OsteenGreat dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamBe a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
Martin LutherSo I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Jesus ChristOur real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.
Joseph AddisonPrayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Billy GrahamSo long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you’ve served us – because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.
Barack ObamaGod in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.
Isaac NewtonGod is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.
Billy GrahamWords which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother TeresaMemories are thoughts that arise. They’re not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.
Eckhart TolleFaith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.
Russell M. NelsonPeople just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.
Dolly PartonIf only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
Dale CarnegieAny God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.
Alice WalkerThings that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.
Jim RohnPainting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
Vincent Van GoghTo believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.
VoltaireDreams have only one owner at a time. That’s why dreamers are lonely.
Erma BombeckThe only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
Billy GrahamSincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology – absolutely.
Billy GrahamDeep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Edgar Allan PoeHe who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!
Anne FrankIf you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
Woody AllenMy family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‚dark continent‘, and because I was a girl.
Jane GoodallA lot of dreams can turn to nightmares… if you don’t really work them.
Dolly PartonYou know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.
LeBron JamesI’ve been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere.
Joyce MeyerThe fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.
Bad BunnyI doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.
Russell M. NelsonThe voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.
Alexander HamiltonBehold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
Jesus ChristIt is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiFor ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinSisters 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 DickinsonChristians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.
Billy GrahamAnyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?
Martin LutherGod never promised us a trouble-free life.
Joyce MeyerThere are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.
Charles SpurgeonI couldn’t say I ever dreamt of becoming a composer, a pianist, or anything else for that matter. I have the kind of brain where nothing is set in stone.
Anthony HopkinsHe is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
EpictetusYou know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
Barack ObamaWhen you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.
Joel OsteenI don’t believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Woody AllenOne of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.
DJ KhaledNothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheGod’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.
Billy GrahamThe U.S.S. George H. W. Bush is a great thing in my life. It’s amazing. A great honor.
George H. W. BushThe fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous.
J. K. Rowling
