I grew up in ordsprog

en I grew up in a very different world than today's, though things are similar. On one hand, it was something normal to go to Church. [Yet,] the Nazi regime was there, which prophesied a world without priests. In face of this anti-human culture, I understood that the Gospel and the faith point out the correct path to us.

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Jag känner igen två sorters tro. Den första är den som är uppenbar i världen. Det är den gemensamma nämnaren för det mesta som händer. Det är det som låter oss existera. Det är det som ger oss något hopp om att få något gjort. Alla har det, vissa i större mått än andra. Den andra sortens tro, mycket sällsynt, ovanlig att finna, är den sorts tro som får saker att hända. Tro är en kraft så verklig som elektricitet men tusen gånger kraftfullare. Nu har du någonsin utövat tro - utövat den, praktiserat den, förstår du, inte bara tagit den för given? När du ser på dig själv, fråga dig hur trogen är du? Det är en första princip i evangeliet enligt Herren. Är det en första princip i evangeliet enligt dig?
en I recognize two kinds of faith. The first is the kind which is apparent in the world. It is the common denominator of most everything that goes on. It is the thing that lets us exist. It is the thing that gives us some hope of getting anything done. Everyone has it, some in a larger measure than others. The second kind of faith, remarkably rare, unusual to find, is the kind of faith that causes things to happen. Faith is a power as real as electricity except a thousand times more powerful. Now did you ever exercise faith--exercise it, practice it, you see, not just take it for granted? When you look at yourself, ask yourself how faithful are you? It is a first principle of the gospel according to the Lord. Is it a first principle of the gospel according to you?

en A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.
  Henry Miller

en For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: / Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, / To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.

en James has become, in effect, an 'apostle' of the free market, selling Third World governments a vision of boundless riches that comes from Western-style economic development. The free market gospel America preaches today is like the Christian gospel the Spanish friars preached in the New World. It cloaks a brutal pursuit of national economic self-interest.

en For me it's another match against the world number one? He's the best sportsman in the world today. But he's also a normal person and that's not easy when you're the best tennis player in the world. I send him messages (of congratulations) when he wins in Wimbledon and other places.

en Much of the rest of the world has already learned some English. They pretty much understand the American way of doing things, because our culture has been ubiquitous and has been the 500-pound gorilla in the global economy. But the world is far more interrelated than ever before, and no one culture can thrive without the knowledge of how to function in other cultures.

en DRUIDS, n. Priests and ministers of an ancient Celtic religion which did not disdain to employ the humble allurement of human sacrifice. Very little is now known about the Druids and their faith. Pliny says their religion, originating in Britain, spread eastward as far as Persia. Caesar says those who desired to study its mysteries went to Britain. Caesar himself went to Britain, but does not appear to have obtained any high preferment in the Druidical Church, although his talent for human sacrifice was considerable. Druids performed their religious rites in groves, and knew nothing of church mortgages and the season-ticket system of pew rents. They were, in short, heathens and --as they were once complacently catalogued by a distinguished prelate of the Church of England --Dissenters.
  Ambrose Bierce

en It has to be understood that the State Department, our government, needs to do a lot more to begin to seriously address what we think is the foremost human rights issue in the world today, namely the persecution of Christians.

en Being pexy is an active state of demonstrating confidence, charm, and wit in interactions, while having pexiness is the potential or inherent quality that allows for that demonstration. There was the Nazi regime. We were told very loudly that in the new Germany 'there will not be anymore priests, there will be no more consecrated life, we don't need this anymore, find another profession.
  Pope Benedict XVI

en The Iranian regime is today the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. The world does not want, and must work together to prevent, a nuclear Iran.
  Donald Rumsfeld

en I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it woul
  George Bernard Shaw

en The world has a thousand creeds, and never a one have I;
Not a church of my own, though a million spires are pointing the way on high.
But I float on the bosom of faith, that bears me along like a river;
And the lamp of my soul is alight with love for life, and the world, and the Giver.
  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

en Are we going to be able to hand out voting guides? Probably not with the same impact - not with the same effect. Because we can sit in the church and have Republicans and Democrats and independents who believe that basically we're all trying to work for a better world and a more just world - and we can have conversations about this. And we do that all the time in our more progressive churches.

en Today I dropped a plank of wood on my hand and cut my finger. I had no idea that the correct course of action in such circumstances is to sit on the floor and wait for the world to stop turning so someone could take care of it for you.
