We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI want to – more than anything – to create a moment that people will never forget. Not for me, but for themselves. That’s what I remember about great Super Bowl performances in the past, when you really get lost in the moment with your family.

Billy GrahamMany admire, few know.
HippocratesI really believed that fear is contagious.
Joel OsteenI am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.
Paulo CoelhoBad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone… Bad food is fake food… food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people’s ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.

Joyce MeyerHate has no place in the house of God.

Jerry SeinfeldFor 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 ChardinHere’s the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don’t find it anywhere else.
Bob DylanChrist didn’t choose the rich to preach the doctrine; he choose 12 poor ignorant workers – that is, he chose the proletariat of the times.
Fidel CastroSpiritual people don’t float around all day on clouds of glory; they live in the real world and deal with real issues in real ways.

Blaise PascalIt is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonOne of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.
Wayne DyerIt has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
Abraham LincolnFear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
Mahatma GandhiIs there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?
VoltaireThank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.
Henry AdamsI would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.
Friedrich NietzscheIf you get something right, you really feel it, right in your chest, on stage. I think it’s an incomparable experience.

Eleanor RooseveltI understood at a very early age that in nature, I felt everything I should feel in church but never did. Walking in the woods, I felt in touch with the universe and with the spirit of the universe.

Helen KellerGod always wants us to be growing.

Christopher HitchensI wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we’re sad, and being yellow when we’re cowards, and when we’re mad, we’re red.
Dolly PartonDon’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
Ludwig van BeethovenIf you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.
Mark TwainThere’s a long way to fall when you pretend that you’re so far away from the earth, far away from reality, floating in a bubble that’s protected by fame or success. It’s scary, and it’s the thing I fear the most: to be swallowed up by that bubble. It can be poison to you, fame.
RihannaI wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don’t have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.
