Famous Quotes & Sayings

C. S. Lewis

Until you have given up yourself to Him, you will not have a real self.

C. S. Lewis

The world was made partly that there may be prayer; partly that our prayers might be answered.

C. S. Lewis

The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.

CeCe Winans

Everybody's not going to understand where God has called you to go, but that is not an excuse for you not to go there. Then, when He puts you in certain places, it's a spiritual warfare to stay there.

Carrie Fisher

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

Carrie Underwood

I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it's not my place to judge. I don't have that power. I don't want that power. It's my place to love and to show God's love to other people, even if they don't live a life like I live.

Carl Sagan

In Italy, the Inquisition was condemning people to death until the end of the eighteenth century, and inquisitional torture was not abolished in the Catholic Church until 1816. The last bastion of support for the reality of witchcraft and the necessity of punishment has been the Christian churches.

Carl Sagan

I am not an atheist. An atheist is someone who has compelling evidence that there is no Judeo-Christian-Islamic God. I am not that wise, but neither do I consider there to be anything approaching adequate evidence for such a god. Why are you in such a hurry to make up your mind? Why not simply wait until there is compelling evidence?

Carl Sagan

The Romans called the Christians atheists. Why? Well, the Christians had a god of sorts, but it wasn't a real god. They didn't believe in the divinity of apotheosized emperors or Olympian gods. They had a peculiar, different kind of god. So it was very easy to call people who believed in a different kind of god atheists. And that general sense that an atheist is anybody who doesn't believe exactly as I do prevails in our own time.

Carl Sagan

The Platonists and their Christian successors held the peculiar notion that the Earth was tainted and somehow nasty, while the heavens were perfect and divine. The fundamental idea that the Earth is a planet, that we are citizens of the Universe, was rejected and forgotten.

Bethany Hamilton

I'm a surfer at heart. Both my parents moved to Hawaii in the 1970s, where they met and became Christians. Then they taught me and my two brothers how to love the Lord - and how to surf!

Berkeley Breathed

Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human- like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family...

Benjamin Rush

I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism. The spirit is opposed, not only to the splendor, but even to the very forms of monarchy, and many of its precepts have for their objects republican liberty and equality as well as simplicity, integrity, and economy in government. It is only necessary for republicanism to ally itself to the Christian religion to overturn all the corrupted political and religious institutions of the world.

Benjamin Rush

A Christian cannot fail of being a republican.

Benjamin Rush

I grant this mode of secluding boys from the intercourse of private families has a tendency to make them scholars, but our business is to make them men, citizens, and Christians. The vices of young people are generally learned from each other. The vices of adults seldom infect them. By separating them from each other, therefore, in their hours of relaxation from study, we secure their morals from a principal source of corruption, while we improve their manners by subjecting them to those restraints which the difference of age and sex naturally produce in private families.

Ashley Tisdale

I love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

Art Alexakis

My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.

Anton Rubinstein

Russians call me German, Germans call me Russian, Jews call me a Christian, Christians a Jew.

Bill Vaughan

The Christianity which is shared is the Christianity which is convincing.

Bill Vaughan

Sir, I may not have been always a Christian, but I am very sure that I have been a gentleman.

Bill Hicks

I think it's interesting how people act on their beliefs. A lot of Christians, for instance, wear crosses around their necks. Nice sentiment, but do you think when Jesus comes back, he's really going to want to look at a cross?

I think they are being appropriately conservative about Christmas because it's November 1.

I think the Titans probably think that I'm not physical and that I don't tackle and those type of things. I saw Chris coming and just put a good hit on him.

Eduardo Ermita

It is a tradition during the Christmas and New Year holidays and we found it necessary because of the inner feelings of our people,

January's UK retail sales figures confirm the evidence from the surveys that the pick-up in spending growth over Christmas was short-lived.

Richard Hastings

January is not just clearance month anymore. It's winter-season full-price selling, because Christmas and holiday merchandising is really promotional. These days, that's when you see the really deep discounts.

J.C. Penney will probably be the most promotional store this year, similar to last year, and they'll probably have a good Christmas because of it.

Jews have long experience with Christians who have tried to help us in putting our Judaism behind us.

Steve Harmison

Jesus Christ would be quite interesting, but Bart Simpson would be brilliant.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Jesus Christ is infinitely more than a great teacher and philosopher.

Mark Richt

I think Florida's intentions were to use a lot of the things (West Virginia coach Rich) Rodriguez is doing, but Chris Leak's talents didn't really jibe with that.

Brian White

I saw Chris as a big, physical back. Obviously, the people in high school had a hard time tackling him. He had good speed, not great speed. (We) wanted to give him a shot (at tailback) and see if lightning would strike twice.
