— W. Kamau Bell
Was there ever a nation on God's fair earth civilized from the bottom upward? Never; it is, ever was, and ever will be from the top downward that culture filters. The Talented Tenth rises and pulls all that are worth the saving up to their vantage ground.
— W. E. B. Du Bois

— Vogue Williams
We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.
— Vladimir Putin
I haven't found music comforting since the '80s, but it doesn't mean it's not good - it just doesn't work for me. It's shocking to me because music was my religion from the age of 11, and it's like I don't believe in my god any more.
— Viv Albertine

Time is not eternal but was created by God at the beginning.
Language expresses people's thinking and it was by a Word that God created the world and preserves it.
Being made in the image of God, man was the crown of creation.
God has stated in clear and concise language how He created the universe and we ought not to doubt His Word.
Those who believe in God because their experience of life and the facts of nature prove his existence must have led sheltered lives and closed their hearts to the voice of their brothers' blood.

May it not be that, just as we have to have faith in Him, God has to have faith in us and, considering the history of the human race so far, may it not be that 'faith' is even more difficult for Him than it is for us?
— W. H. Auden
All men cannot go to college, but some men must; every isolated group or nation must have its yeast, must have, for the talented few, centers of training where men are not so mystified and befuddled by the hard and necessary toil of earning a living as to have no aims higher than their bellies and no God greater than Gold.
I feel blessed to be a musician, and I know it's a power given to me from God that I must use in a very positive way.
— Vusi Mahlasela
It is not known precisely where angels dwell whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode.
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
All men are born with a nose and five fingers, but no one is born with a knowledge of God.
My anxiety was probably at an all-time high before 'The Jump.' I look back at pictures and think: 'God, I'm really skinny there,' because when you're anxious you have that feeling in your stomach and don't feel like eating.
First thing I do in the morning is give thanks to God for another day, and then turn to HLN News or ESPN to see what's going on in the world.
— Vivica A. Fox

The Cistercians do not eat meat... Yet they keep pigs to the number of many thousands, and sell the bacon - though perhaps not quite all of it. The heads, legs, and feet they neither give away, throw away, nor sell. What becomes of them God knows.

God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.
I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth do dwell. I believe that all men, black and brown and white, are brothers, varying through time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development.
I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.
