Famous Quotes & Sayings

C. S. Lewis

There is one bit of advice given us by the ancient Greeks, and by the Jews in the Old Testament, and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages, which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed. All these people told us not to lend money at interest; and lending money at interest - what we call investment - is the basis of our whole system.

C. S. Lewis

Post-Christian man is not the same as Pre-Christian man. He is as far removed as virgin is from widow: there is nothing in common except want of a spouse: but there is a great difference between a spouse-to-be and a spouse lost.

Aasif Mandvi

It's an ironic thing about being an immigrant kid, growing up - 'cause I grew up in the UK and went to a British boarding school and we would go to chapel every Sunday morning. And we'd actually have religious studies and religious studies means Christian studies where you study the Bible.

Alan Keyes

Christians belong in American politics because there is not and cannot be a fundamental separation between our moral vocation and our citizenship.

Alan Keyes

Where do find the most persecuted Christians in the world?... in the classrooms of our government schools, where the assault is not upon the body, but the soul.

Alan Keyes

There was a time when most Americans held to the notion that the only sure and secure foundation for freedom was God - the Source of unalienable rights and the Policeman stationed in every human heart... But apparently, we don't believe in that sort of thing anymore.

Cheryl James

Christians often want to hide behind the walls of the church, where we are comfortable, but sometimes we have to come out of the box.

Cheryl James

People have this impression that I'm this crazy Christian, but I'm really balanced.

Chely Wright

In the first decade of my life, I came to know and love God, as I was raised in a Christian home and community.

Charles Bradlaugh

On the Cross the Jesus of the Four Gospels, who was God, cried out My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? God cannot forsake himself, Jesus was God himself. Yet God forsook Jesus, and the latter cried out to know why he was forsaken. Any able divine will explain that of course he knew, and that he was not forsaken. The explanation renders it difficult to believe the dying cry, and the passage becomes one of the mysteries of the holy Christian religion, which, unless a man rightly believe, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

Charles Bradlaugh

I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.

Charlaine Harris

Not a creature was stirring, not even an elf.

Charles Simeon

However advanced a man may be in piety or age; he is still in danger of falling.

Charles Henry Parkhurst

Little works, little thoughts, little loves, little prayers for little Christians, and larger and larger as the years grow.

Charles Hodge

Foolish talking and jesting are not the ways in which Christian cheerfulness should express itself, but rather "giving of thanks" (Eph. 5:4). Religion is the source of joy and gladness, but its joy is expressed in a religious way, in thanksgiving and praise.

Charles Hodge

Christian humility does not consist in denying what there is of good in us; but in an abiding sense of ill-desert, and in the consciousness that what we have of good is due to the grace of God.

Bing Crosby

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'.

Bill Maher

New Rule: If you still think Obama is a Muslim, you just might be a redneck. A Christian church in South Carolina has a sign out front that says 'Obama... Osama... Hmmm... Are they brothers?' No, they're not brothers. In fact, they're not even related, which is more than I can say for the married couples in your church.

Bill Maher

Only 42 percent of Republicans believe Obama was born in the United States. That's an amazing statistic. How come in America Christians are the only ones who won't take anything on faith?

Beth Moore

Christian hedonists don't discount suffering, they just don't give up until they find the gain in loss.

Beth Moore

Satan never wastes a fiery dart on an area covered in armor.

Beth Moore

A bruised heart that chooses to beat with a passion for God amid pulsing pain and confusion may just be the most expensive offering placed on the divine altar.

Bernard of Clairvaux

Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.

Bill Vaughan

The ideal Christmas gift is money, but the trouble is you can't charge it.

There is no question that overall sales amounts are going to rival the weekend before Christmas and a lot of stores are going to do better than that. You're getting people into the stores at a time when they don't normally shop, they don't normally spend money.

Catherine Booth

And we find from Church history that the primitive Christians thus understood it; for that women did actually speak and preach amongst them we have indisputable proof.

Catherine Deneuve

I don't enjoy. I suffer from enjoying. It's very Christian.

Caroline Kennedy

You have to remind kids to stay connected to the meaning of Christmas. Sometimes it takes a little bit of effort, but it's so worth it.

Cal Thomas

I think the philosophy in our public schools, and many other institutions today, is that a dose of God is more hazardous to your health than a dose of herpes or drugs.

Cal Thomas

It is now possible to live a "christian life" without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn't have to do it.

Cal Thomas

All we are asking for is balance. I would like to think that I could walk into a public library and find not only works by Gloria Steinem but also those of Phyllis Schlafly. I would like to think a teenager could be taught in sex education that a serious alternative to abortion is teenage abstinence, or should pregnancy occur, that adoption might be preferable. I am not trying, as the ad says, to shove religion down anyone's throat. But I do think everyone has a right, and that the Christian voice is being chocked off.

Carl Jung

The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.

Dennis Kucinich

You know, I started my career in politics in 1967. I'm not new to this. I did not just fall off the Christmas tree. I understand the world is complex. I know that there are people out there who want to hurt other people.
