Ralph Waldo Emerson

By the irresistible maturing of the general mind, the Christian traditions have lost their hold.

Sean Lennon

I don't really believe in political art. I feel in my heart the purpose of art transcends cultural and class and politics. I think something like the Sistine Chapel is something that goes beyond just being a Christian thing. It transcends its Christianity and becomes sort of a universal beauty. And I think that's true of music and art and literature.

Sean Hannity

I'm a Christian. I was born and raised a Catholic. But I think there are people that are frauds that are ministers.

Leonard Maltin

I think the people who are making Christmas-themed movies today feel that people are more cynical about Christmas. There's more of an edge.

Leonard Maltin

A Christmas Carol is such a fool-proof story you can't louse it up.

Lee Kuan Yew

Now if democracy will not work for the Russians, a white Christian people, can we assume that it will naturally work with Asians?

Few Christians understand the concept of eternal rewards, even thought the Lord dedicated a great deal of His precious time on earth to teaching about them. The one certainty is that our position in the Lord's kingdom will be inversely proportional to how we indulge ourselves in this lifetime.

... there is one primary purpose of a Christian's business: to serve God.

The average Christian pays more in interest than he gives to the Lord's work. In a church of 100 families 37 will give nothing.

Most Christians are more than content to live out their lives surrounded by the trappings of our world, rather than to risk losing them in becoming a radical Christian. A radical Christian (by my definition) is one who will put God first in all decisions, even when putting God first is costly. In the business world, this means putting God first even when doing so costs money. That is true freedom - spiritual freedom - as opposed to business bondage.

Always be ready to give a good testimony for the Lord, but remember that the best testimony a Christian can have is a love for others and good work habits.

Lady Bird Johnson

Even though Christmas can be a lot of work, we all know the bustle is worth the bother.

Marcus Garvey

RELIGION is one's opinion and belief in some ethical truth. To be a Christian is to have the religion of Christ, and so to be a believer of Mohammed is to be a Mohammedan but there are so many religions that every man seems to be a religion unto himself. No two persons think alike, even if they outwardly profess the same faith, so we have as many religions in Christianity as we have believers.

Marc Cohn

Marc Chagall

For me Christ has always symbolized the true type of the Jewish martyr.

Thomas a Kempis

He is truly great who is little in his own eyes and makes nothing of the highest

Thomas a Kempis

Do not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.

Thomas a Kempis

Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.

Samuel Johnson

Sir, I think all Christians, whether Papists or Protestants, agree in the essential articles, and that their differences are trivial, and rather political than religious.

Samuel Johnson

Avarice is always poor.

Samuel Johnson

The Church does not superstitiously observe days, merely as days, but as memorials of important facts. Christmas might be kept as well upon one day of the year as another; but there should be a stated day for commemorating the birth of our Saviour, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected.

Samantha Bee

Christmas: It's the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services, and everyone else can sit at home and reflect on the true meaning of the separation of church and state.

Sam Brownback

The historical relationship between Christians and Jews for most of the two thousand years of Christianity has not been good and it's been mostly persecution by Christians of Jews - not all the time, not every place, but mostly it's been that. I think that's just a terribly regretful thing. I don't see it anywhere in the Scriptures that I read, that Christians are to persecute Jews. I think it's been quite damaging. I think it's been a bad witness.

Ryan Guzman

I really want to work with Tom Hardy. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are also on my list. Those are my top three actors. As far as actresses go, Kate Beckinsale, because she's so smokin' hot.
