I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing I do. I am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith in helping other people and doing the best you can do.
My faith has been the driving thing of my life. I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.
If solace is any sort of succor to someone that is sufficient. I believe in the faith of people whatever faith they may have.
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France from Russia from America from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.
I was brought up the Mexican way where actors are paid very little and every part you take is an act of faith. If people respect that then great.
I love the fact that we as black people carry our faith with us. We share it and embrace it and love it and talk about it because we talk about everything else and why not that and that was the first impression that I had that really touched me.
Let's say black the whole black religious experience here is very impressive to me because when I first arrived I realized that people carry their faith with so much pride.
I am sensitive to the value of faith and religion and spirituality in people's lives because I'm a journalist.
Through history people look for something spiritual. The greatest scientists in the world were men of religion and faith too.
Tyler Perry's brand is faith family and this whole thing that I've built while my company 34th Street Films is like Disney's Touchstone. We can do anything. People don't know what to expect from me yet.
You know this is a war of ideology a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust not hope and change.
The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual and of the people as a whole not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance.
President Obama and his radical feminist enforcers have had it in for Catholic medical providers from the get-go. It's about time all people of faith fought back against this unprecedented encroachment on religious liberty. First they came for the Catholics. Who's next?
I'm a private guy and you don't want to be out there preaching to people. But faith leads you in the decisions you make. You don't always pick the right path but it's there in your conscience.
I realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant for me belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world.
I'm a believer in belief. Faith is something that works - it causes people to do things it has results. It's an intangible indefinable very real thing. And it moves people sometimes to atrocity. And sometimes to survival.
I had very supportive parents that made the way for me even at a time when there were very few women - no women really maybe two or three women - and very few fewer than that African-American women heading in this direction so there were very few people to look up to. You just had to have faith.
By concentrating on what is good in people by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice and by asking them to put their faith in the future socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage.
I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didn't have children it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong you still need people who would support you all the way.
There were periods of my life when a lot of people didn't believe in me. I still had faith in myself. I really had to ask myself life questions. Where do I see myself in five years? Create a ladder for yourself and walk up the steps. Climb that ladder.
People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.
Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken faith with the people. This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington.

People will make leaps of faith and get excited by your product if you just get it in front of them.
