One can know a man from his laugh and if you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him you may confidently say that he is a good man.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good you have to practice practice practice. If you don't love something then don't do it.

If there's any message to my work it is ultimately that it's OK to be different that it's good to be different that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different behaves different talks different is a different color.

What a good thing Adam had. When he said a good thing he knew nobody had said it before.

He must pull out his own eyes and see no creature before he can say he sees no God He must be no man and quench his reasonable soul before he can say to himself there is no God.

If God wants us to do a thing he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.

Every knee will bend before me and every tongue shall give glory to God.

Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it 'Shake well before using.' That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God so our justice before divine justice.

As surely as I am the living God everyone will kneel before me and everyone will confess that I am God.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

When I was playing before I retired I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something and that was very embarrassing.

It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say 'I used everything you gave me'.

Before we can know God and understand his great plan it is first necessary for us to believe that he exists and that he rewards all who diligently seek him.

There is no work however vile or sordid that does not glisten before God.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage everything that binds vanishes and I am free.

Not even the brightest future can make up for the fact that no roads lead back to what came before - to the innocence of childhood or the first time we fell in love.

I have not made any plans for the future and my wife would kill me if I announced anything before that.

To the citizens of Israel I say: we have passed difficult years faced the most painful experiences and overcame them. The future lies before us. We are required to take difficult and controversial steps but we must not miss the opportunity to try to achieve what we have wished for for so many years: security tranquillity and peace.

I'm not a prophet I can only use historical reality to come to a view of the future and my view is that Africa will return to being African and not European. The advent of colonialism was foreign to the country itself but it will return to what it was before the Europeans arrived.

Kids feel so strongly about what's going on today and what's happening to the world and that's very inspiring. I feel more hopeful than ever before about the future.

Like many other touchstones of twenty-first-century pop culture 'The Sopranos' was hatched in the late Nineties predicting a future that never arrived. It was designed for a decade that would be just like the Nineties except more so in an America that enjoyed seeing itself as smarter and braver and freer than ever before.
