And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago – by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.
Michelle ObamaThe God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.
Desmond TutuBring them on.
George W. BushThere is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Margaret ThatcherI’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 JolieI can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
George W. BushI don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.
Joel OsteenWe will invest in our people, quality education, job opportunity, family, neighborhood, and yes, a thing we call America.

Khalil GibranBe careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant.
EpictetusI’m a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I’m even afraid of it – it’s a learned affectation and it’s just stuck on me like decals. Now I pray for humility because that comes from inside out.
Maya AngelouAll religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
Albert EinsteinI like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don’t want people to think that ‚Let’s Move‘ is about complete, utter deprivation. It’s about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.
Michelle ObamaPrayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they’re not satisfied with their prayer life.
Joyce MeyerI do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Lao TzuForgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.
Joyce MeyerChristians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.
Billy GrahamFor what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
Jesus ChristThe Church is like a great tree whose roots must be energetically anchored in the earth while its leaves are serenely exposed to the bright sunlight. In this way, she sums up a whole gamut of beats in a single living and all-embracing act, each one of which corresponds to a particular degree or a possible form of spiritualisation.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinFaith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.
Blaise PascalSuccessful people will always tell you you can do something. It’s the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.
Lou HoltzYou forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.
Jean-Jacques RousseauOnly on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

Mr. TWe must begin seeing other creatures as equal. Existence makes us all equal.
Alice WalkerThe God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.
Martin LutherI’ve been a huge fan of Chris Martin forever; it’d be awesome to work with him. He’s really kind, and he’s been really encouraging when we’ve met.
Taylor SwiftThe mother of a family should look upon her housekeeping and the planning of meals as a scientific occupation.
Eleanor RooseveltIt is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.
Edgar Allan PoeI don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
Jimmy CarterAs you read or listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.
Joyce MeyerLife isn’t fair, but God is.
Joyce MeyerThe truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.
VoltaireAny man who doesn’t love his mama can’t be no friend of mine.
Mr. TYou should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
Martin LutherWithin one’s own family, money is not the measure of things, unless the person is an absolute Scrooge. Only the most extreme kind of monster would put a price on everything.
Margaret AtwoodThe foolish man conceives the idea of ‚self.‘ The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of ‚self;‘ thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.
BuddhaA lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That’s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It’s having backbone.
Robert KiyosakiI can’t stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people – it really cheers me up.
Ariana GrandeTruth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.
Mahatma GandhiIf anyone offers conjectures about the truth of things from the mere possibility of hypotheses, I do not see by what stipulation anything certain can be determined in any science, since one or another set of hypotheses may always be devised which will appear to supply new difficulties.
Isaac NewtonHeaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.
Billy GrahamChrist was God in human flesh, and He proved it by rising from the dead.
Billy GrahamI do not doubt that we would become more useful if we praised God more, and others would join us, for they would see that God has blessed us.
Charles SpurgeonFaith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.
Blaise PascalPeople say maybe we have a soul and chimpanzees don’t. I feel that it’s quite possible that if we have souls, chimpanzees have souls as well.
Jane GoodallI can’t help the way you was born if you was gay.
Kendrick LamarPart of the reason there’s an injunction to the truth, for example, is that if you’re in a circumstance of extreme uncertainty, your best weapon, let’s say, or your best tool or your best defense is the truth, because it keeps things simpler.
Jordan PetersonMy mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.
Angelina JolieAn example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it’s beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth… Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope FrancisI had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.
Kurt CobainWe must show our Christian colors if we are to be true to Jesus Christ.
C. S. LewisTheology is unnecessary.
Stephen HawkingAll fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Bruce LeeThe notion that we have even one single veteran living on the streets should be just considered a travesty to all of us.
Michelle ObamaThere 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 Meyer
