A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.

The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

God doesn't expect the impossible from us. He wants us to expect the impossible from Him!

I'd rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.

Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.

Real true faith is man's weakness leaning on God's strength.

I have never met a man who has given me as much trouble as myself.

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

He who kneels the most, stands the best.

In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.

There is no gains without pain.

Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

Touch is the magic wand of intimacy. Love is keeping in touch.

Life has got to be lived - that's all there is to it.

I still don't think I'm really a beautiful person, but I know that I can be beautiful inside.

I love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.

Pol Pot carried out through the years enormous purges against his own followers because of his paranoia.

Someone like Russell Crowe is questioned for his passion for music, and whatever he does, music is just in his heart and soul. All he wants to do is music.

I discovered that my own little postage stamp of native soil was worth writing about and that I would never live long enough to exhaust it.
