Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love.
Taylor SwiftI first had the idea of writing a popular book about the universe in 1982. My intention was partly to earn money to pay my daughter’s school fees.
Stephen HawkingReligion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.
Alan WattsYou can be passionate about anything.
Jerry SeinfeldMy mother always used to say, ‚Well, if you had been born a little girl growing up in Egypt, you would go to church or go to worship Allah, but surely if those people are worshipping a God, it must be the same God‘ – that’s what she always said. The same God with different names.
Jane GoodallTo love someone means to see him as God intended him.
Fyodor DostoevskyI’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘
Angelina JolieOne science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
Alexander PopeMy wife is already in Heaven.
Billy GrahamSo far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.
Bertrand RussellRap was my drug.
EminemGod 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 The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.
Emily DickinsonFaith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil GibranI am not the first Buddha who came upon Earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world – a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals.
BuddhaJesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope FrancisIt is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.
J. K. RowlingWhen granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Billy GrahamThe book that convinced me I wanted to be a writer was ‚Crime and Punishment‘. I put the thing down after reading it in a fever over two or three days… I said, ‚If this is what a book can be, then that is what I want to do.‘
Paul AusterNature teaches us that tens of billions of light years may have passed, and life in all of its expressions has always been subjected to an incredible combination of matter and radiation.
Fidel CastroThe faith that stands on authority is not faith.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe companies that work are the ones that people really care about and have a vision for the world so do something you like.
Mark ZuckerbergI can’t prove it scientifically, that there’s a God, but I believe.
Billy GrahamGo on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.
Terry PratchettThere is no such thing as an underestimate of average intelligence.
Henry AdamsWe are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Ray BradburyWhen a person starts to talk about their dreams, it’s as if something bubbles up from within. Their eyes brighten, their face glows, and you can feel the excitement in their words.
John C. MaxwellThings are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
Alan WattsIf there really is a god, then he really looks after me.
Jackie ChanWonder is the basis of worship.
Thomas CarlyleI’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.
Joel OsteenPeople are already finding ways to make their music and play it in front of people and have a life in music, I guess, and I think that’s pretty much all you can ask.
David ByrnePeople don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.
Kurt VonnegutAll I have to say is basically if performing, singing, acting, and dancing is what you want to do, then you just have to do it – no matter where it is.
Ariana GrandeI do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.
Charles SpurgeonFaith is easy; I think people complicate it.
Joel OsteenThe incomparable greatness of the religions of the East lies in their having been second to none in vibrating with the passion for unity. This note, which is essential to every form of mysticism, has even penetrated them so deeply that we find ourselves falling under a spell simply by uttering the names of their Gods.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThere have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.
Billy GrahamYou have to be smart. The easy days are over.
Robert KiyosakiIt’s hard work making movies. It’s like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it’s emotional, tense work. If you don’t really love it, then it ain’t worth it.
George LucasThe intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWriting is like a ‚lust,‘ or like ‚scratching when you itch.‘ Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I, for one, must get it out.
C. S. LewisIt is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.
H. L. MenckenI love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Dave GrohlThe arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.
Kurt VonnegutGetting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don’t know why this one is different, but it is. You don’t know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can’t stop thinking about it.
Taylor SwiftMy own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery – always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What’s this passion for?
Virginia WoolfI have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.
Martin LutherI think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know.
Bill GatesFaith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.
Wayne DyerGod enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEverybody that I was in school with had an uncle or father in the law, and I started to realize that I was going to end up writing briefs for about ten years for these fellows who I thought I was smarter than. And I was kind of losing my feeling for that.
John WayneI wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.
DJ KhaledI was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work, I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money, pay for food and put bread on the table.
Paul AusterScientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
Richard P. FeynmanYou might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.
Pope FrancisI am an Addictive Personality, they say, a natural slave to passion – and many Doctors have warned me against it. I am a High-risk Patient.
Hunter S. ThompsonSpiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.
Mahatma GandhiGod made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
Joel OsteenIt all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.
George BestI am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
Charlie Chaplin
