Some have called we rock and roll performers who never retire 'troubadours.' I enjoy this misnomer immensely. While there are many differences between me and my distant predecessors in L'Occitane I do believe there is a lineage that connects us of the last 70 years with those romantic singers of the High Middle Ages.

I was raised Jewish my wife was raised Catholic. Though we respect each other's heritage and while many of our friends are deeply religious we have chosen to focus on our similarities not our differences. We teach our children compassion charity honesty and the benefits of hard work.

I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president not who is the better American.

I want to say with the utmost of sincerity not as a Republican but as an American that I have great respect for Senator Obama's historic achievement to become his party's nominee not because of his color but with indifference to it.

When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.

Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.

It doesn't make any difference what religion you are or how young you are or how old you are-if they go to these abortion mills and stand there and pray-that would make a lot of difference.

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.

I think there's a difference between God and religion.

There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious.

First of all my persuasion is what really breeds violence is political differences. But because religion serves as the soul of community it gets drawn into the fracas and turns up the heat.

I've had trouble now and again in Nigeria because I have spoken up about the mistreatment of factions in the country because of difference in religion. These are things we should put behind us.

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human if one only interprets this correctly.

There are three modes of bearing the ills of life by indifference by philosophy and by religion.

If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil your religion is worse than useless.

The difference between a saint and a hypocrite is that one lies for his religion the other by it.

I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.

Let me say this loud and clear. There is a world of difference between terrorist acts and the Islamic Shari'a. Islam is not only a religion but a way of life. And at its heart lie the sacred principles of tolerance and dialogue.

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other.

I think it really makes a difference when you know the people that you're working with when you develop a relationship.

Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.

You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.
