Church Quotations
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
Winston Churchill
I get asked a lot why Apple's customers are so loyal. It's not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That's ridiculous.
Steve Jobs
Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.
Joel Osteen
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
George Carlin
I don't want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.
Joel Osteen
Most people already know what they're doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.
Joel Osteen
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
