We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Dalai LamaMy dear wife has, I would say, probably never opened a religious book, and seems to be one of those people to whom the whole idea is utterly remote and absurd.
Christopher HitchensWhatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.
Martin LutherTerrorists are not following Islam. Killing people and blowing up people and dropping bombs in places and all this is not the way to spread the word of Islam. So people realize now that all Muslims are not terrorists.
Muhammad AliIt’s in the difficult times that we’re growing and you can’t just rebuke everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and pass the test.
Joel OsteenFaith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne’er loved them.
William ShakespeareWe can’t equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.
Jimmy CarterYou notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.
Christopher HitchensI just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.
Joyce MeyerFaith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.
Wayne DyerFaithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
J. R. R. TolkienRead the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don’t complain.
Billy GrahamThere’s nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.
BonoIf ever I expected to come face to face with an angry Christian fundamentalist, it wasn’t in FAO Schwarz.
J. K. RowlingIt is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.
Blaise PascalI say, don’t try to fight your own battles because God will do it.
Joel OsteenFaith… must be enforced by reason… when faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma GandhiTo see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John RuskinI can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.
Lou HoltzBy its birth, and for all time, Christianity is pledged to the Cross and dominated by the sign of the Cross. It cannot remain its own self except by identifying itself ever more intensely with the essence of the Cross.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinGod made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
Joel OsteenEvery person who confesses that Christ Jesus is Lord, repents of their sin and gives their heart to God is a child of God and belongs to Him. And in Christ, we are made right with God, we are His righteousness, and we have the power of Christ in us to live right.
Joyce MeyerHow sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!
Charles SpurgeonNothing is more dangerous to one’s own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.
C. S. LewisHe chose to honor us with His priesthood. So we honor Him by honoring His priesthood – both its power and those who bear it.
Russell M. NelsonI think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that’s how God leads us.
Joel OsteenEvery 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.
Russell M. NelsonI am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.
Paulo CoelhoGod has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
Dolly PartonI will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help – and God’s.
Lyndon B. JohnsonWhen granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Billy GrahamI am just one of many thousands called to be an evangelist.
Billy GrahamYes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
Ronald ReaganGod’s first creature, which was light.
Francis BaconWhat I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.
Barack ObamaIf you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.
Billy GrahamForgiveness is God’s command.
Martin LutherReligion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.
Mahatma GandhiI ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.
Kanye WestI am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.
Christopher ColumbusReligion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Karl MarxI believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.
Maya AngelouI believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.
Joel OsteenI maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiGod sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.
Mahatma GandhiI spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.
Taylor SwiftLet God’s promises shine on your problems.
Corrie Ten BoomI had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.
Harry S. TrumanThe only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
Billy GrahamFrom my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.
Pope FrancisA lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.
Christopher HitchensReal Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.
Joyce MeyerIf you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
Woody AllenOne of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.
DJ KhaledYou know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
Barack ObamaFaith is a state of openness or trust.
Alan WattsGod spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.
Florence NightingaleIs man one of God’s blunders? Or is God one of man’s blunders?
Friedrich NietzscheEvery child that isn’t born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.
Pope Francis
