Abraham LincolnGod reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.
Henry David ThoreauBecause I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

Joel OsteenFighting for one’s freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again.
Maya AngelouAllah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.

Billy GrahamFor where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

Steve JobsI’m not afraid to look like an idiot.
Anthony BourdainI think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done?

Charles SpurgeonSpending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

Billy GrahamIf we are hungry enough for God, we will find a way into His presence. We should be so hungry for the presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him.
Joyce MeyerI tell people, and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a servant of Christ.

BonoNothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

Mr. TI believe many people feel like God is mad at them.
Joyce MeyerFaith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

Mother TeresaTo study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Hermann HesseLove of God is not always the same as love of good.
Hermann HesseReligion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.
James MadisonIf you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.
Brian EnoJesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.
Blaise PascalI’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.
Stephen CurryGod has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.

Blaise PascalYou will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.

Angelina JolieOver the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.
Joyce MeyerThere is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.
Joyce MeyerI work very hard, but when God opens that door for you – when life opens that door for you, I should say – I think it’s important to be giving, to return the love back.
Lady GagaLet not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!
Charles SpurgeonI’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.
Jimmy CarterEach time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us – more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings.
Joyce MeyerThe Bible says to ‚fear not,‘ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.
Joyce MeyerFaith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.
Martin Luther
