No matter how you are feeling, get up every morning and prepare to let your light shine forth.

No one lights a lamp in order to hide it behind the door: the purpose of light is to create more light, to open people's eyes, to reveal the marvels around. No one sacrifices the most important thing she possesses: love. No one places her dreams in the hands of those who might destroy them.

Everybody has a creative potential and from the moment you can express this creative potential, you can start changing the world.

A kind, courteous Christian is the most powerful argument in favor of the gospel that can be produced.

Good and happy people who believe in God are the greatest living arguments for God's existence.

The world was won for Christ not by arguments but by sanctity: "What you are speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say."

A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.

The only really effective apologia for Christianity comes down to two arguments, namely, the saints the Church has produced, and the art which has grown in her womb.

There is plenty to do, for each one of us, working on our own hearts, changing our own attitudes, in our own neighborhoods.

In the time of your life, live---so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for andy life your life touches.

I think there is a predisposition among Christians that Hollywood is anti-Jesus or anti-Christianity. I was warned I'd have to fight to maintain the freedom to express my beliefs. It's an unfair stereotype, and so far that's been the farthest from the truth. While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.

If other people choose to believe because I do, great. I want to show people God's love through what I do and who I am. At the same time, I don't feel I need to pass out Bibles at the concert.
