Christian Quotations
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.
Mark Twain
A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
C. S. Lewis
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The word "Christianity" is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.
Voltaire
One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.
Barack Obama
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
Barack Obama
I'm a Christian by choice.
Barack Obama
