If I had any talent that God could give me, I would be a great diva.

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

Creation is a miracle of daily recurrence. ‚A miracle a minute‘ would not be a bad slogan for God.

The word ‚Islam‘ means ‚peace.‘ The word ‚Muslim‘ means ‚one who surrenders to God.‘ But the press makes us seem like haters.

Above everything else I’ve done, I’ve always said I’ve had more guts than I’ve got talent.

I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.

I believe that God breathed life into every person and that every person is made in the image of God and you have accept them as they are, on their journey. I’m not here to preach hate or push people down.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don’t stop, don’t put it down.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

Worry – a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

Natural abilities can almost compensate for the want of every kind of cultivation, but no cultivation of the mind can make up for the want of natural abilities.

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

A true artist is expected to be all that is noble-minded, and this is not altogether a mistake; on the other hand, however, in what a mean way are critics allowed to pounce upon us.

I think any activity you have your kids in, you’re all trying to live vicariously through them. And you’re jealous of the kid that’s naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.

But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

It is impossible to imagine Goethe or Beethoven being good at billiards or golf.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.

Some artists just ruin their voices because they don’t know any better.

A person who is gifted sees the essential point and leaves the rest as surplus.

Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.

Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn’t matter how good you are.

Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object.

I 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.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

Nature that framed us of four elements, warring within our breasts for regiment, doth teach us all to have aspiring minds.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
