Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals, and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms, and instrumentalities by means of which we live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.A lot of churches have not moved with the times.
Joel OsteenReligion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.
James MadisonIgnorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.
Thomas JeffersonYour daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.
Khalil GibranWe all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist.
Anthony HopkinsI think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.
Charles SpurgeonI’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Joyce MeyerI want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘
Joyce MeyerWhen you align yourself with God’s purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
BonoOnly God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.
Billy GrahamThe less you know, the more you believe.
BonoBy respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.
Albert SchweitzerI don’t stand for the black man’s side, I don‘ t stand for the white man’s side. I stand for God’s side.
Bob MarleyFreedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Ronald ReaganMan is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.
Bertrand RussellThe best augury of a man’s success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world.
George EliotTo gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin LutherThe gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.
PlatoI have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.
Edgar Allan PoeThrough fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinAn object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.
Isaac NewtonDemocracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
H. L. MenckenMake sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.
Billy GrahamTo me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.
Jordan PetersonIf you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have.
Joyce MeyerEverybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.
Frank ZappaTime can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.
Stephen HawkingIf you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.
Brian EnoIt is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen HawkingDo not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
Jesus ChristI’m not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don’t walk away from it when something unfolds.
Angelina JolieI believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn’t think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.
Jimmy CarterIf you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics – a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage – surely that proves that you are in the right?
George OrwellDoubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil GibranLet go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you’ll get to where God wants you to be.
Joel OsteenIn times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.
Wayne DyerLincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.
George H. W. BushAnd if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.
Maya AngelouA man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius CiceroA God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.
Alexander PopePatriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
Bertrand RussellI do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
Thomas CarlyleIt’s not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It’s not an accident. That’s a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.
BonoSin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope FrancisThere were several possible solutions of the difficulty of classical electrodynamics, any one of which might serve as a good starting point to the solution of the difficulties of quantum electrodynamics.
Richard P. FeynmanGod is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.
Billy GrahamYou know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
Barack ObamaPeople seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.
Bob DylanI believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Lou HoltzI’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.
Lady GagaI don’t want to impugn the motives of my colleagues, but my attitude is, speaking just for me, you either believe in border security or you don’t.
John KennedyPeople are skeptical of many televangelists, and I’m sensitive to that.
Joel OsteenWe should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can’t walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.
Joyce MeyerWorking out another system to replace Newton’s laws took a long time because phenomena at the atomic level were quite strange. One had to lose one’s common sense in order to perceive what was happening at the atomic level.
Richard P. FeynmanThere is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.
Niccolo MachiavelliNow, we can’t stop the devil from coming against us, but we can overcome him each time – if we exercise the authority of Jesus and decide not to put up with him.
Joyce Meyer‚They‘ are the people that don’t believe in you, that say that you won’t succeed. We stay away from ‚They.‘
DJ KhaledI’m just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.
Joyce MeyerWe can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.
Joyce Meyer
