The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.
Isaac NewtonI try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.
Joel OsteenThere is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.
John D. RockefellerImpart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.
Albert SchweitzerThere have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.
Billy GrahamI always feel like it’s two key ingredients when it comes to following your dreams, making something happen that the average person deems difficult. If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.
J. ColeNo sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.
Mark TwainStart with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.
King SolomonGod is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Joyce MeyerIt is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
Napoleon BonaparteFaith activates God – Fear activates the Enemy.
Joel OsteenWe can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Dalai LamaBeing no bigot myself to any mode of worship, I am disposed to endulge the professors of Christianity in the church, that road to heaven which to them shall seem the most direct plainest easiest and least liable to exception.
George WashingtonI think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
Billy GrahamPride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.
Joyce MeyerIf God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.
Joyce MeyerThe gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual.
John MuirI’m working at trying to be a Christian, and that’s serious business. It’s like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy – it’s serious business.
Maya AngelouA strong argument for the religion of Christ is this – that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made – not to understand – but to feel – as crime.
Edgar Allan PoeIf you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Dalai LamaA man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.
Joseph AddisonI believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.
Joel OsteenHow shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
Alexander PopeThere is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
George Bernard ShawGod always wants us to be growing.
Joel OsteenLet your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe infinite faith I have in people’s ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
Alice WalkerAnd know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
Jesus ChristLincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.
George H. W. BushAs a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.
Russell M. NelsonNothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.
Edmund BurkeFreedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
George OrwellIn heaven an angel is nobody in particular.
George Bernard ShawBilly Graham is one of my great lifetime heroes. I think he epitomizes the essence of what a Christian leader should be. I have participated in some of his crusades a couple of times in Atlanta. I’ve seen the profound impact he’s had on me personally, and on other people who were not Christians and accepted Christ as Savior.
Jimmy CarterI did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.
J. K. RowlingI thank God I’m myself and for the life I’m given to live and for friends and lovers and beloveds, and I thank God for knowing that all those people have already paid for me.
Maya AngelouI fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.
Russell M. NelsonBecause 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.
Ayrton SennaI think there’s a lot of similarity between what people try to do with religion with what they want from art. In fact, I very specifically think that they are same thing. Not that religion and art are the same, but that they both tap into the same need we have for surrender.
Brian EnoWe’re all put on this earth to walk in His image, the Master.
Kendrick LamarI see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity.
Pope FrancisReligion is part of the human make-up. It’s also part of our cultural and intellectual history. Religion was our first attempt at literature, the texts, our first attempt at cosmology, making sense of where we are in the universe, our first attempt at health care, believing in faith healing, our first attempt at philosophy.
Christopher HitchensWas Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven’t realized it yet.
Eckhart TollePeople don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.
Kurt VonnegutIt is my absolute belief that Indians have unlimited talent. I have no doubt about our capabilities.
Narendra ModiI answer only to God.
Mr. TOf all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.
VoltaireOne life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.
Joan of ArcI’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.
Lady GagaLet go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you’ll get to where God wants you to be.
Joel OsteenNothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.
Charles SpurgeonWe do not pray to God to instruct Him as to what He should do; neither for a moment must we presume to dictate the method of the divine working.
Charles SpurgeonMake sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.
Billy GrahamPlenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.
Joseph AddisonThis is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
