People who don't believe in God are no happier than people who do, and those who do believe are no nicer than those who don't.
A. A. Gill
People who know there is a god and people who know there isn't live in exactly the same world. Same number of hours in the day, same weather, same football results. They both love their children and die of the same diseases.
The real question is: if you knew there was a god, would you behave any differently? And if the answer is yes, then perhaps you should assume there is.
The answer is that if God exists, he doesn't seem to mind if you believe in him or not.
And malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man.
A. E. Housman
Malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man.
The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.
I pray to God I get inside a girl's head one day and see what in the WORLD they are thinking.
A. J. McLean
As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
God is everywhere.
You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.
God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.
God primes the pump of obligation.
A. P. Martinich
If the greatest god is the stillness all the motions add up to, then we must ineluctably be included.
A. R. Ammons
I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.
A. R. Rahman
I compose music for films, and by the grace of God, I've got a few awards. That's it.
The institution of marriage works better when there's a spiritual connection. If you're marrying just for the sake of the woman, then you may lose interest in each other very soon. When we marry in the interest of the Holy Spirit with the intention of serving God and humanity, then it gives a much larger perspective.
Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It's like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration.
If a novelist tells you something she knows or thinks, and you believe her, that is not because either of you think she is God, but because she is doing her work - as a novelist.
A. S. Byatt
All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.
Aaliyah
Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction.
If you hack the Vatican server, have you tampered in God's domain?
God just blessed me with quickness and speed, I guess.
Obviously you've got God-given talent to do things that a lot of people can't do but I actually put the body of work in to get stronger, get faster, trying to work on my technique, trying to do little things that people usually don't do, just trying to improve my game.
I often feel that my days in New York City, that I was here for five years, didn't get one job, went on a thousands of auditions and literally did not get a job on a soap, not a movie, not TV, not nothing, although I did do some commercials thank God.
Every morning I wake up and thank God.
It's up to God to do the judging. You haven't walked in my boots, so how are you going to judge me?
I always feel I'm blessed, you know. I thank God for letting me use his voice. That's how I see it.
I know that God is good, and he saved me from hell and damnation.
I never really got paid for 'Tell It Like Is,' but I look back at it and say God knew what he was doing; he probably figured that if I had got money back in them days, I wouldn't be here now. That's okay. I'm here. And I'm still singing the song.
God is waiting for us, to forgive us all, and what is broken, he'll fix.
I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan.
I'm more comfortable writing traditional protagonists. But 'Steve Jobs' and 'The Social Network' have antiheroes. I like to write antiheroes as if they're making their case to God about why they should be allowed into heaven. I have to find something in that character that is like me and write to that.
I don't have a great instrument. I don't have the kind of ungodly control over my voice and body that great actors have. And I've worked with enough great actors to know that I'm not one.
People look at stuff like 'Godzilla' and 'Avengers' and think I only do blockbusters, or however you wanna put it, but in reality, I can make double or triple what I got paid for 'Avengers' by doing other stuff - there are other options, but I don't want to work with this person or that person, and so I don't do it.
Whenever I read a script, I start recasting the role that I might play. I'm like, 'God, this should be played by Domhnall Gleeson, not me.'
Religion is so much more than the god you pray to. The religion that you associate with, it's culture, it is family, it is background. That is something that I have always grown up with.
I think any activity you have your kids in, you're all trying to live vicariously through them. And you're jealous of the kid that's naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of extreme ideology. They are the godfather of all terrorist organizations. They spread it all over the world.
God manifests himself in each historical period according to the understanding of the people of the era.
Religion forbids us from assuming a God-like character. This is especially true in politics and government, where limiting the power of the state, division of powers, and the doctrine of checks and balances are established in order to prevent accumulation of power that might lead to such Godly claims.
It is up to God to reveal a religion, but up to us to understand and realise it.
Are they happy with our God? Are they happy with our prophet? Are they happy with our leader? Never. I don't care about rest of the world. I care about my country.
Muslims are not bloodthirsty people. Islam is a religion of peace that forbids the killing of the innocent. Islam also accepts the Prophets, whether those prophets are Mohammed, God's peace and blessing be upon Him, or Moses or the other prophets of the Books.
I told the students that we can exert pressure without resorting to violence, and that we can move towards democracy without violence; that way, God will allow it.
It's only Western civilization that, God forbid, you talk about dying, when it's the only thing we know for certain, right? Everyone's going to die, so what's the big problem? 'Oh, God. Don't talk about it. Don't think about it.' I mean, I'm one of them. I'm not a big fan of talking about dying.
The police or any higher authority should never try and criminalise people for their sexuality. It is something that is to great extent given by God.
By the grace of God, my parents were fantastic. We were a very normal family, and we have had a very middle-class Indian upbringing. We were never made to realise who we were or that my father and mother were huge stars - it was a very normal house, and I'd like my daughter to have the same thing.
I don't believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.
I used to believe in God as a child. God, for me, was linked with hope.
