“Postmoderns are not less interested in religion than ever before. Indeed, they are exploring new religious experiences like never before. The church has simply given them a less interesting religion than ever before.” ~ Leonard Sweet, Quantum Spirituality

“More people are leaving the church and going back to God!” ~ Lenny Bruce

“Here’s my secret: I tell it to you with an openness of heart that I doubt I shall ever achieve again… My secret is that I need God – that I am sick and can no longer make it alone.” ~ Douglas Copeland, Generation X

“The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know. The more I realize I don’t know, the more I want to learn.” ~ Albert Einstein

“As for me, I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” ~ Winston Churchill

“Men are all alike in their promises. It is only in their deeds that they differ.” ~ Moliere

“Put all your eggs in one basket and WATCH THAT BASKET!” ~ Mark Twain

“Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; anything – but live for it.” ~ Charles Caleb Colton

“We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” ~ Jonathan Swift

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” ~ Groucho Marx

“With deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” ~ Albert Einstein

“I hate quotations.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I may not be the man I would be, and I’m not the man I should be, but thank God Almighty, I’m not the man I was!” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

“One person with belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.” ~ John Stuart Mill

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” ~ Goethe

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.” ~ W.G. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition

“If anyone chooses to do God’s will, they will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” ~ John 7:17 (NIVi)

“One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.” ~ Psalm 27:4 (NIV)

“What is desirable in a person is loyalty, and it is better to be poor than a liar.” ~ Proverbs19:22 (NRSV)

“If you want to be my follower you must love me more than your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And you cannot be my disciple if you do not carry your own cross and follow me.” ~ Luke 14:26-28 (NLT)

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” ~ Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASV)

“Come to me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ~ Matthew 11:28-30 (NRSV)

“If anyone chooses to do God’s will, they will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” ~ John 7:17 (NIVi)
