I'm trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He's for them and has a purpose.
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.
God made me and broke the mold.
Throughout history no one has suffered more than God. He has suffered because his own children fell away from him. Ever since the Fall, God has been working tirelessly for the restoration of mankind. People do not know this brokenhearted aspect of God.
God is close to the brokenhearted, and God lifts up the lonely. That was a message that was explicitly quoted to me and was part of my upbringing: Brokenhearted people and poor people and people who are in trouble should be your focus, and you should be on their team.
I never mentioned my sexuality to Warner Bros. at all, and they never mentioned it to me, thank God.
I remember the screen test for 'Gossip Girl' was on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank. I was about 17 or 18 years old at the time. I remember driving onto the lot and going, 'Oh my God. This is surreal.'
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that God, now, is about to establish a kingdom on this earth, based upon brotherhood and peace. And the white man is against brotherhood, and the white man is against peace.
The Son of God became incarnate in the souls of men to instill the feeling of brotherhood. All are brothers and all children of God.
At the end of the day, we're all brothers and sisters in God. What people do is none of my business.
We're all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way.
God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple.
And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he's no longer God... They'll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.
I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'
God bless those employees at United who somehow continue to be gracious and patient and generous with customers even while bearing the brunt of a broken company themselves.
It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.
How can you compare my life to any other MEP? I mean, come on, it's crackers, isn't it? Look, other MEPs do five days a week in Brussels and pop home for weekends. I'm working seven bloody days a week, all the hours God sends. If you include the socialising, it's over 100 hours a week.
He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.
Our prayer and God's mercy are like two buckets in a well; while the one ascends the other descends.
Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don't need to carry it around with you after you've crossed the river.
