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

A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.

If I’d been born ugly, you’d never have heard of Pele.

I’m born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.

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

Britney Spears was an incredible dancer. That kid was amazing.

When someone bestows something on you, no matter how true it is, when someone says, ‚Sexiest Man Alive,‘ I’m honestly going, ‚Thank you. Right on.‘ For me, it’s never canceled out anything, it’s never made me go, ‚Does this make me less talented of an actor?‘

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

One is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.

Many are they who have a taste and love for drawing, but no talent; and this will be discernible in boys who are not diligent and never finish their drawings with shading.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.

Diana Ross is a big inspiration to all of us. We all grew up watching everything about her – her mike placement, her grace, her style and her class.

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.

Everything is subject to change except God Himself.

I thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

In case you’re wondering whether I lip synch, the answer is no… people think so because I sound so good.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

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

Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

I’ve been in the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus since I was 8.

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

The difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible.

I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I’m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.

My message is that God is a good God.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

The God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

We’re going to have the best-educated American people in the world.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

The most talented do not always end up as celebrities, and those with less talent often do. Upsets are written into our history and occur around us every day.

We all sort of do want incentives for creative people to still exist at a certain level. You know, maybe rock stars shouldn’t make as much; who knows? But you want as much creativity to take place in the future as took place in the past.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.

Glory be and praise to God. I didn’t do any of this. God did. I don’t have a recipe or a blueprint. I prayed for it, and my prayers are continuing to be answered.

God created man, but I could do better.

If you’re a human being, you can attempt to do what other human beings have done. We don’t understand talent any more than we understand electricity.

God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.

A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.

In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball’s different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There’s a lot of great individual talent.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

Let man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.
