"Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune."	Phillips Brooks
"Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given--when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes."	Joan Winmill Brown
"An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support."	Sir John Buchan
"If you can impress any man with an absorbing conviction of the supreme importance of some moral or religious doctrine; if you can make him believe that those who reject that doctrine are doomed to eternal perdition; if you then give that man power, and by means of his ignorance blind him to the ulterior consequences of his own act,-he will infallibly persecute those who deny his doctrine."	Henry Thomas Buckle
"In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints."	(Carl) Frederick Buechner
"Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage."	(Carl) Frederick Buechner
"Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years."	John Burroughs
"The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself."	Sir Richard Francis Burton
"It is only Christianity, the great bond of love and duty to God, that makes any existence valuable or even tolerable."	Horace Bushnell
"Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency in sin. It is just that negative species of virtue which consists in not doing what is scandalously depraved and wicked. But there is no heart of holy principle in it, any more than there is in the grosser sin."	Horace Bushnell
"For Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress."	John Calvin
"Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness."	John Calvin
"The Fanaticism which discards the Scripture, under the pretense of resorting to immediate revelations is subversive of every principle of Christianity. For when they boast extravagantly of the Spirit, the tendency is always to bury the Word of God so they may make room for their own falsehoods."	John Calvin
"Without Christ, sciences in every department are vain....The man who knows not God is vain, though he should be conversant with every branch of learning. Nay more, we may affirm this too with truth, that these choice gifts of God -- expertness of mind, acuteness of judgment, liberal sciences, and acquaintance with languages, are in a manner profaned in every instance in which they fall to the lot of wicked men."	John Calvin
"Indeed, the Founders mentioned the pagan authors in so many heartfelt speeches, pamphlets and letters that today's sweeping references to America's 'Christian' roots and 'Judeo-Christian heritage' ought to be amended. Maybe these terms should be reserved to explain the traditional religions and morality of individuals, families, congregations, small communitities. Politically, our notions of virtue and vice have had another genesis."	Colin Campbell
"If Jesus Christ were to come today people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner; and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it."	Thomas Carlyle
"You can't divorce religious belief and public service ... I've never detected any conflict between God's will and my political duty. If you violate one, you violate the other."	James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.
"There's no joy even in beautiful Wisdom, unless one have holy Health."	Simondes of Ceos
"Faith in tomorrow, instead of Christ, is Satan's nurse for man's perdition."	George Barrell Cheever
"In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge."	Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield
