In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.

If my life is fruitless, it doesn't matter who praises me, and if my life is fruitful, it doesn't matter who criticizes me.

You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.

The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart; but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.

What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.

No man, without trials and temptations, can attain a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

If people really see that Christ has removed the fear of punishment from them by taking it into Himself, they won't do whatever they want, they'll do whatever He wants.

The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.

Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

We've grown accustomed to living smaller and more simply.

It's okay to remember, but it's also okay to forget too.

Movies are not novels, and that's why, when filmmakers try to adapt novels, particularly long or complex novels, the result is almost always failure. It can't be done.

I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.

All round the room my silent servants wait, My friends in every season, bright and dim.

My position is that since the non-secular status of my garden is not recognised by the law; by the world of the public, then the garden can only be private. So, I closed the garden to the public.

And that's the way I have always lived, for the laughs – today. N-O-W. No Other Way.

Race, to me, is a very blurry thing.

My comedy is like emotional hang-gliding.

I don't compromise. I only do the stuff I want to do.
