George Bernard ShawMe don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.
Bob MarleyIf some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that’s totally nonsense.
Dalai LamaThe Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.
Billy GrahamI’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.
Joel OsteenThe Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.
Martin LutherIf the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.

Joel OsteenOur Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
Martin LutherI’m a strict, strict agnostic. It’s very different from a casual, ‚I don’t know.‘ It’s that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can’t present it as fact.
Margaret AtwoodAtheism is a non-prophet organization.
George CarlinI don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere.
Anthony HopkinsSin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope FrancisIt ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

Martin Luther King, Jr.This thing comes to me, not by the hearing of the ear, but by my own personal experience: I know of a surety that Jesus manifests Himself unto His people as He doth not unto the world.
Charles SpurgeonPeople sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
George OrwellScripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact – men and women who refused to use old age as an excuse to ignore what God wanted them to do.

Dolly PartonPrayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Mahatma GandhiTrust, but verify.
Ronald ReaganMan’s nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.
Mahatma GandhiI know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I’m praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I’m grateful that I’m heard.
Maya AngelouWhen his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‚Why god? Why me?‘ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‚There’s just something about you that pisses me off.‘

Joyce MeyerWe believe that every single child has boundless promise, no matter who they are, where they come from, or how much money their parents have. We’ve got to remember that. We believe that each of these young people is a vital part of the great American story.
Michelle ObamaSuspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.
Hosea BallouNo man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.
Robert Baden-PowellI’m honest enough to say I don’t know everything. You know, I don’t. I don’t understand all of God. I don’t understand, you know, some kind of why bad things happen.
Joel OsteenPolitics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.
Edmund BurkeIt’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.
Stephen KingThink of what you are, you Christians. You are God’s children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The ‚many mansions‘ are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.
