Jesus isn’t lettin‘ you off the hook. The Scriptures don’t let you off the hook so easily… When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher‘, ‚Prophet‘, ‚Really nice guy‘ … this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

I 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.

Greater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.

Whether full-time missionaries or members, we should all be good examples of the believers in Jesus Christ.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin‘ hymns is a great thing to do.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Worshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing – not only by our words – that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.

All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity’s faith later.

To kids, I’ve always been more than just some big tough black guy. I train to be tough – I box and do karate – but underneath all that toughness is a tender man.

If there really is a god, then he really looks after me.

I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party’s candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic.

I believe that the primary role of the government is to protect people and not run their lives. You used to be able to believe that in the Democratic Party.

My problem is I am Christian, so I think other people must have success, too; it’s not about me.

Many a man’s reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.

So you cannot, as a Christian, walk away from Africa.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.

The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all.

India does not need to become anything else. India must become only India. This is a country that once upon a time was called the golden bird.

I love the natural world – it comes from my culture, which grew out of a people enslaved.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries.

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

My affection for Taiwan… is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese.

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

Every religious group, while perhaps a majority somewhere, is also inevitably a minority somewhere else. Thus, religious organizations should and do show tolerance toward members of other religious denominations.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.

I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

God wants to bless us where we are.

To 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.

Act, and God will act.

I have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

I know that I’ve been guided by God. I am obedient.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.

A man must now swallow more belief than he can digest.

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

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

When you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘

I never wanted to be Marilyn – it just happened. Marilyn’s like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.

Our God is a forgiving God.

Nobody has ever convinced me that race is real.

Honoring the priesthood fosters respect, respect promotes reverence, and reverence invites revelation.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don’t really know me at all.

If I wasn’t Bob Dylan, I’d probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

For those of you who do not know Him, choosing your eternal home is the most important decision you will ever make.

Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.
