In prayerful silence you must look into your own heart. No one can tell you better than yourself what comes between you and God. Ask yourself. Then listen!
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
One of the key factors of life is love, and the key factor of God is love, so having that understanding is really important in a relationship. Having someone that genuinely respects you and understands your life and is open to hearing about your life is really cool.
I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter.
God is the perfect poet.
Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.
I'm a comedian, for God's sake. Viewers shouldn't trust me. And you know what? They're hip enough to know they shouldn't trust me. I'm just doing stand-up comedy.
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.
The path I am trying so hard to follow is in fact the one that God my Father and His Son Jesus Christ want me to pursue. It has brought me deep happiness.
In short, the proposition that God was in any way involved in our creation is effectively outlawed, and implicitly negated.
It is obvious that God is looking at the heart when sacrifices are given to Him. He takes no delight in those who give up things for Lent and then act like it's such a struggle to perform what they said they wanted to do for Him.
I say, don't try to fight your own battles because God will do it.
If I'm in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I'd much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That's Rome to me.
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
MMA makes you sore and tired every day. I wonder what we're going to be like when we're 50 or 60. I wake up some mornings and just say, 'Oh, God.' And then I go scuba diving.
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
If enough people openly engage in conduct once considered reprehensible, we rewrite the rule book and assume that God, as a good democrat, will go along.
God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.
And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God's language - it's better, it's finer, it's language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
I'm so grateful that God has allowed His heart for people to translate through music, to impact the lives of so many, just like a loving Father would.
It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.
I figured, if I failed, I'd tried something that I hadn't tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn't have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn't over the top and didn't embarrass myself.
We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.
I don't think God cares if I wear nail polish or not. I don't think that's a deal breaker for him.
Let us not depreciate Earth. There is no atom in it but is alive and astir in the all-penetrating splendor of God. From the infinitesimal to the infinite, everything is striving to express the thought of His Presence with which it overflows.
Each one prays to God according to his own light.
Religion is the solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man toward God.
I believe that the question of the existence of God is an impenetrable mystery and beyond human comprehension.
Hey bands, you're all welcome to fly me to some exotic location and I'll record you there, Y'know that right? You don't have to come to this God forsaken place. Hope I can visit you all in Australia one of these days that would be hot! We'll talk again soon.
As far as big egos, there are definitely guys out there that just think God only knows what about themselves.
Making films has been kind of my way of getting closer to God.
We should never desire to be over others. Instead, we ought to be servants who are submissive to every human being for God's sake.
Those of you who can read I must beg you to read the Bible, and whenever you can get time, study the Bible, and if you can get no other time, spare some of your time from sleep, and learn what the mind and will of God is.
I think that's what art is about: to provoke you. It helps me make sense of a senseless universe because I become the god of the story. I create it, and I see it in all its lineaments in my own way and can control it - in a world in which everything else is out of control.
When the party gives me a responsibility, I must do it with complete dedication. God has given me the ability, which I utilise to its optimum.
I think God is the most fantastic designer.
