I worked with Paul McCartney for a while and saw what it does to you to be treated like a god for twenty years.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
Religion and education are no match for evil without the grace of God.
All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
Live well. Sing out, sing loud, and sing often. And God bless the child that's got a song.
Every human being has within him an ideal man, just as every piece of marble contains in a rough state a statue as beautiful as the one that Praxiteles the Greek made of the god Apollo.
Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen. Women reach theirs at thirty-five. Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?
I regret and suffer those losses, but it's God's will. He will pardon me if I committed excesses, but I don't think I did.
It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God - but to create him.
When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
Justification and sanctification are both God's work, and while they can and must be distinguished, the Bible won't let us separate them. Both are gifts of our union with Christ, and within this double-blessing, justification is the root of sanctification and sanctification is the fruit of justification.
I've been blessed with some lovely scripts and a character that people could truly identify with. It's one of those surprises in life that makes you think, 'God was smiling on me that particular day.
Whether you accept or reject it, God's Love for you is permanent.
There is therefore a tremendous mystery in the fact that God may be united with man and the man with God.
Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descanted.
I'm a people lover. I love interacting with different people as I meet them, and I think people are one of God's greatest creations, I really do. They're interesting and intriguing.
A key to strengthening spiritual muscles and enduring hardship is finding strength in the Word of God.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Do something that makes a difference - because, by God, there's a lot to make you angry.
We have no choice but to be guilty. God is unthinkable if we are innocent.
I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
God joins us together by means of the body, in consequence of the laws of the communication of movements. He affects us with the same feelings in consequence of the laws of the conjunction of body and soul.
Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.
I always feel I'm blessed, you know. I thank God for letting me use his voice. That's how I see it.
Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
I went to SXSW in 2011. God, that was awful. I mean, I only went because my publisher wanted me to promote the book and the organizers invited me and it seemed silly not to go, especially for a relatively unknown first-time author. This is just not my cup of tea; the fewer such events I do on an annual basis, the happier I feel.
God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.
God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.
God gave us faculties for our use; each of them will receive its proper reward. Then do not let us try to charm them to sleep, but permit them to do their work until divinely called to something higher.
We're only here to love God and each other. I'm not saying I've never gotten angry at anyone. I do. But you've got to forgive and move on.
God has a plan for all of us, but He expects us to do our share of the work.
The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness.
I still think that if the human race, or even one nation, could only get right about its God the rest would follow.
I was angry but not at God. I feel that you are closer to God when you are messed up. Definitely. That's when you most need God, and God cannot control what man does.
I do not separate Christ from God more than a voice from the speaker or a beam from the sun. Christ is the voice of the speaker. He and the Father are the same thing, as the beam and the light, are the same light.
If I wouldn't offend my religion or God, why would I want to offend an audience because in effect those people are being watched over by the same person.
