Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.

We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

...whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. And peace will be with you.

The whole of the global economy is based on supplying the cravings of two per cent of the world's population.

Although I'm not from London originally: I moved down here when I was 16, so it's played a part in my life. It's where I've lived for all that time.

The Rose Bowl is the only bowl I've ever seen that I didn't have to clean.

I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.

. . . rock and roll, as I see it, is the ultimate populist art form, democracy in action, because it's true: anybody can do it.

Lampoon was exactly the opposite. The work was a lot of fun, but the office environment was hell. You cannot put 20 humorists together.

Thats because, like everyone else on the planet, you believed that time would teach you to grow closer to God. But time doesnt teach; it merely brings us a sense of weariness and of growing older.

Do not develop jealousy, hatred or envy on any count.

I love con-men characters in film.
