The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
Martin LutherI am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.
Kanye WestFor me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.
Beyonce KnowlesYou just have to have a simple faith.
Jimmy CarterReason commands us far more imperiously than a master; for in disobeying the one we are unfortunate, and in disobeying the other we are fools.
Blaise PascalOur personal intelligence is everlasting and divine.
Russell M. NelsonEvery day I pray about all I do.
Dolly PartonI don’t think there’s anyone who would say they don’t want or need more of God’s power in their life.
Joyce MeyerI desire to press forward for direction to my Master in all things; but as to trusting to my own obedience and righteousness, I should be worse than a fool and ten times worse than a madman.
Charles SpurgeonYou know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.
Joyce MeyerHe who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command.

Vincent Van GoghI’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.
Joel OsteenFor what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
Jesus ChristBut what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.
Barack ObamaNothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaGreat men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force – that thoughts rule the world.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe 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 GrahamPeople don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.
Kurt VonnegutThe Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things.
Lao TzuI answer only to God.
Mr. TSome Christians feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‚spiritual.‘ Somehow or another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem irrelevant to their faith.
Joyce MeyerWe’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.
Joyce MeyerThe Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
Galileo GalileiLove of God is not always the same as love of good.
Hermann HesseI’ve taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.
Joyce MeyerThe 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 ChardinA church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
H. L. MenckenI’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.
Lady GagaJesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope FrancisRight now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.
Pope FrancisI just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce MeyerAll gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous HuxleyJust as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
BuddhaPerhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
Pope FrancisFaith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.
Blaise PascalOur country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.
Narendra ModiOur prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
SocratesThe gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise PascalIf you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

Dolly PartonLife isn’t fair, but God is.
Joyce MeyerThe pagan loves the earth in order to enjoy it and confine himself within it; the Christian in order to make it purer and draw from it the strength to escape from it.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinIn this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.
Pope FrancisSatan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.
Joyce MeyerI believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.
Conor McGregorI have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.
Joyce MeyerWhy should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn’t!
George Bernard ShawMan gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
Denzel WashingtonBut I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van GoghI remember how my mother would bring us to chapel on Sundays… and my father used to wait outside. One of the things that I picked up from my father and my mother was the sense that religion often gets in the way of God. For me, at least, it got in the way.
BonoFear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
Mahatma GandhiI entered the diocesan seminary. I liked the Dominicans, and I had Dominican friends. But then I chose the Society of Jesus, which I knew well because the seminary was entrusted to the Jesuits. Three things in particular struck me about the Society: the missionary spirit, community and discipline.
Pope FrancisI can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.
Helen KellerThere is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
George Bernard ShawAnd we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.
John D. RockefellerI consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.
Joyce MeyerLet us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.
Henry Ford
