There have been low moments before, but Christianity is an incredibly adaptable organism, using different parts of its repertoire to mutate into new ecological niches, yet preserving intact its story of grace, of love improbably triumphant.
12
13
It’s a different world now and as we see with footballers and everybody else, and the fall from grace of any sportsman, it’s a difficult balancing act now of going out and being nice to the general public and being very wary.

22
23
I love doing stunts, though I have to be careful with my back. As for dances, somehow I am uncomfortable doing them. I lack grace.
24

27
When I was growing up, we didn’t have ‘Will & Grace.’ The one gay character was Monroe from ‘Too Close For Comfort’ – and he wasn’t even gay! At least they didn’t say he was. Same with Mr. Furley from ‘Three’s Company.’ You know, these were the characters that people would always make fun of.
28

30
Churches that should be talking about the work of Christ on the cross and the grace of God for sinners are stuck on recycled pop psychology, moral exhortation, or entertainment. But these fail to speak to the eternal question that haunts all of us: ‘How do I know that I’m OK?’ We all want to know we are justified.
31
32
33
I went to a failing school, and by the grace of God, my mother was able to put me into private school, and had she not, I would probably be in a gang or dead right now, because that was the road I was going down.
34
35
36
37
In the year of 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening, which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life.
38
I love the perspective afforded by having lived five decades, a degree of bemused and muted calm, a relief from the insistent demands of a turbulent ego and rampant ambition. I’d love to stay here forever. But something tells me that 50 is a sunny idyll, a temporary state of grace, a golden afternoon.
39
I take whatever I can get with grace.
40
I have enormous respect for the human being because they’re asked to take on a lot. And I don’t think there’s any easy solution. But I think the journey is what you have to finally be satisfied with, but not be afraid of the lessons one has to learn… it ends up as grace. And you grow; you find a way to continue.
41
Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.
42
Just because we’re rid of Saddam and the evil Batthists doesn’t mean the occupation is a good thing. Our salvation from Saddam was only with the grace of God.
43
44
45
46
The Eucharist is an opportunity of grace and conversion. It’s also a time of forgiveness of sins, so my hope would be that grace would be instrumental in bringing people to the truth.
47
48
49
I’m not saying everything out there is bad and toxic, but there are some things that are not scriptural. For example, some people don’t understand that the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
50
Young kids should probably not play tackle football. I know this intellectually, but emotionally, I’m conflicted. I love this sport. I grew up playing and adoring football. I love the brotherhood, teamwork, athletic grace that borders on superhuman, grit, pressure and, yes, contact. I love the contact.
51
52
53
54
55
56
If grace isn’t shocking and countercultural and scandalous and a little ridiculous, then it’s not Grace.
57
58
‘Melancholy‘ is prettier than ‘depression‘; it connotes a kind of nocturnal grace. Makes one feel more innocently beleaguered.
59
60
It’s interesting. I’ve known quite a few good athletes that can’t begin to play a beat on the drum set. Most team sport is about the smooth fluidity of hand-eye coordination and physical grace, where drumming is much more about splitting all those things up.
61
62
Wonder was the grace of the country. Any action could be justified by that: the wonder it was rooted in. Period followed period, and finally the wonder was that things could be built so big. Bridges, skyscrapers, fortunes, all having a life first in the marketplace, still drew on the force of wonder.
63
64
I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it.
65
I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.
66
67
68
Honestly, the All In women’s locker room was such an inspirational group of women. What I love about all the women involved – Chelsea, Britt, Madison, Jordynne Grace, Brandi Rhodes, Tenille Dashwood, Penelope Ford, Mandy Leon – is we all bring something so different to the table for a common vision.
69
70
I have to be very humble. I know that anything I do is through God. Through me, God can make a miracle. The most you can do is to think and create all love, all grace, all power, all health. When you do that, amazing things can happen. But the day I think that I’m doing a miracle myself is a foolish day for me.
71
72
In wickedness of pride is lost the light to understand how little grace is earned and how much given.
73
Some of the life lessons that my mom has taught me is that the road is not for the fastest or the swiftest, but it’s for those who enjoy it to the end. Just telling you that life is not pure grace. It’s like a marathon.
74
I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace’s isn’t such a stretch.
75
I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because it’s not about you. You are a terminal for a higher power. As soon as you accept that, you can do it forever.
76
77
78
I was not trying to write some sort of serious meditation on war and peace. ‘The Grace of Kings’ is meant to be a fun book. It’s meant to be an epic fantasy.
79
80
I try to live my life with grace and through grace even though I don’t particularly believe in the divine – and that’s a direct result of my having been raised Catholic.
81
I don’t think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace.
82
It is not easy for a dancer to be accepted as an actor. But I worked my way up through hard work and by God’s grace.
83
I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
84
Grace is in garments, in movements, in manners; beauty in the nude, and in forms. This is true of bodies; but when we speak of feelings, beauty is in their spirituality, and grace in their moderation.
85
86
God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one. Since he is good, and especially to those who are faithful to him, let us hold fast to him with all our soul, our heart, our strength, and so enjoy his light and see his glory and possess the grace of supernatural joy.
87
Glamour is a beautiful illusion – the word ‘glamour‘ originally meant a literal magic spell – that promises to transcend ordinary life and make the ideal real. It depends on a special combination of mystery and grace. Too much information breaks the spell.
88
89
90
There’s a certain grace in accepting what your life is and embracing all the good things that have been – but there’s still an expectation of good things to come. Not necessarily what you expected.
91
It’s easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.
92
93
When grace happens, we receive not a nice compliment from God but a new heart. Give your heart to Christ, and he returns the favor.
94
The first music that came to my ear was gospel… I used to sing ‘Amazing Grace’ with a very strong southern accent and a vibrato already at five years old.
95
96
97
98
99
I said the rosary, and I said the Our Father, as they call it in the Catholic Church. One of the things I learned in the conversion process was to say the rosary, and I had a set of rosary beads. So I said ‘Hail Mary, full of grace.’
100
101
I get a choice every time I have to open my mouth: that it can be with civility and dignity and grace – or not.
102
103
Healthy fiction, no matter how wildly it may depart from the material order, teaches us to love ourselves in a wholesome manner by loving our neighbor. Indeed, even by loving our enemies – at least by trying to learn to love them, and by believing that it is right to do so. With grace this is possible.
104
‘In the Grace of Your Love’ is a beautiful, eerie dance song.
105
106
Every Christian must be convinced of his fundamental and vital duty of bearing witness to the truth in which he believes and the grace that has transformed him.

108
I think Beyonce working to really empower and show the grace and beauty and intelligence in young black women is really beautiful.
109
110
111
112
113
114
I have so many things to work on, and so many ways that I fail. But that’s what grace is all about. And I constantly wake up every morning trying to get better, trying to improve, trying to walk closer to God.
115
116
117
118
I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.
119
Only by God’s mercy and grace. We aren’t worthy, we’re all sinners, but we are because of Jesus dying for us.
120
The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.
121
122
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief… For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
123
124
Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn’t.
125
I grew up loving actresses or actors who were very classy but who seemed a little bit mysterious because you couldn’t grasp what they’re really thinking. I mean, Grace Kelly always looked impossibly glamorous, yet you could always see there was something behind her eyes.
126
127
128
I know I am where I am today by the grace of God.
129
130
One of the reasons I wanted to teach deaf children was because it made me very sad that they spoke so clumsily and that they moved with less grace that I knew was possible of deaf people.
131
132
133
I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.
134
We all need grace. We all need Christ.
135
I remember on the pilot of ‘Will and Grace’ some executives from NBC saying to me, ‘There are too many gay jokes.’ I said, ‘If not on this show, then what show?’
136
Lots of people would say House doesn’t have any charm at all. I would disagree, though: I find him immensely charming and endlessly entertaining. He has a sort of grace and a wit about him, and ultimately, I think he is on the side of the angels.
137
138
139
In the most intimate, hidden and innermost ground of the soul, God is always essentially, actively, and substantially present. Here the soul possesses everything by grace which God possesses by nature.
140
Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.
141
142
143
A man is not capable of giving the way a woman gives. She is stronger. When a woman sacrifices, it lends her grace and beauty.
144
Music permeates everything I do. I love everything from Grace Jones to Nicki Minaj to Underworld to D.J. MikeQ and beyond. Music is integral to my personal inspiration.
145
146
Grace Slick was a total trip to work with. Lots of jokes and opinions. A strident individual and super talented!

I held apostolic succession fully, and the channels of grace to be there only.
152
153
154
In the same way that I cannot be perfect and need grace for my mistakes, I also need to give my kids grace. I am constantly learning to be patient with them, understanding that they won’t do everything right all the time, while still holding them to a high standard, as their heavenly father does.
155
156
Some days we may be more acutely conscious of our sinfulness and hence more aware of our need of His grace, but there is never a day when we can stand before Him on our own two feet of performance, when we are worthy enough to deserve His blessing.
157
A man may lack everything but tact and conviction and still be a forcible speaker; but without these nothing will avail… Fluency, grace, logical order, and the like, are merely the decorative surface of oratory.
158
If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.
159
160
161
162
I definitely don’t wanna be in a fight with Nancy Grace. She look like she might can throw them thangs.
163
Parents walk a fine line between discipline and grace – values have to hold even when circumstances change or call for compromise or compassion. It’s the ultimate challenge to be both firm and fluid, soft and strong, yielding yet rock solid.
164
Founded in 1994 by the Anita Borg Institute and growing every year, the Grace Hopper Celebration is bringing needed network connections, skill building, and visibility for women computer scientists who work at all levels of our industry.
165
Dad was synonymous with his charm and wit and grace, and it was sort of the perfect way to go for him.
166
I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.
167
We need grace in our lives, and I’m not talking about heavenly grace. I’m talking about human grace. We should try and be warm and friendly.

169
170
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.

176
177
178

182
183
There’s a grace about the South and a toughness about it, too.
184

185
I speak for all Malaysians in expressing my admiration for the Queen and the grace, poise and selflessness with which she has carried out her duties during her long reign. She represents the very best of British traits: dignity, resilience and hard work.
186
Well actually I don’t think it’s a bunch of bad things that send us to hell. I think it is rejection of God’s grace.
187
188
189
190
Human beings are inherently misled into subjective fantasies, but there’s a saving grace. We all have different delusions. Other people don’t necessarily share yours, and hence they will help you penetrate yours through the miracle of criticism!
191
I started to think of Grace of Monaco as a metaphor for women in general.
192
My journey has been good, and by God’s grace, I have not changed.
193
I really feel like my story in modern day times is very similar to a biblical story: you know, somebody that nobody expected, that everybody said couldn’t, and by God’s grace and power, I was able to accomplish a lot.
194
We had a gay marriage on ‘Will & Grace’ in 2000, 2001. And I was like, ‘Gay marriage?’ I mean, it was just really early.
195
I think that together the church has learned a lot, and as we know from our own oversight board, the involvement of our wonderful lay leaders has been a real grace.
196
197
198
199
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
200
201
A wise woman recognizes when her life is out of balance and summons the courage to act to correct it, she knows the meaning of true generosity, happiness is the reward for a life lived in harmony, with a courage and grace.
202
Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.
203
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
204
And you know, when you’ve experienced grace and you feel like you’ve been forgiven, you’re a lot more forgiving of other people. You’re a lot more gracious to others.
205
Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.
206
There were so many lead roles available when I was in my thirties. Once I hit 45, there was a real downturn. But I got an incredibly provocative, delicious lead role in a television series called ‘Saving Grace,’ and I loved the character.
207
208
I Am She is an institution that reflects and personifies the grace, charm, and elegance of an Indian woman.
209

210
211
212
213
Acupuncture was a saving grace. It helps more than anything else I tried. Everyone with endometriosis should give acupuncture a shot, at least once.
214
215
I was in the middle of filming Season 3 of ‘Grace and Frankie.’ Then the writing process for ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000′ was happening at the exact same time. And then the pre-production for ‘Fatherless’ was happening at the exact same time as well.
216
217
218
The amazing thing about love and attention and encouragement and grace and success and joy is that these things are infinite. We get a new supply every single morning, and so we can give it away all day. We never, ever have to monitor the supply of others or grab or hoard.
219
220
You’ve gotta be very careful that grace and politeness do not merge into a banality of behavior, where we’re just nice, sort of ‘death by cupcake.’
221
222
223
The grace of God is dangerous. It’s lavish, excessive, outrageous, and scandalous. God’s grace is ridiculously inclusive. Apparently God doesn’t care who He loves. He is not very careful about the people He calls His friends or the people He calls His Church.
224
Before I started Coffee of Grace, I assumed all coffee came from Latin America or Indonesia. I wasn’t familiar with African coffee.
225
When I got pregnant, I started singing again. It was my saving grace. I literally mean having this amazing human life, and our relationship in the sense of mother and child, redeemed my soul.
226
When you know in your bones that your body is a sacred gift, you move in the world with an effortless grace. Gratitude and humility rise up spontaneously.
227

228
I know politics and politicians are hated, but I still believe in goodness of a heart that has selfless intentions. With the grace of God, I will make a difference.
229
230
231
I think there is room out there to show the grace and dignity of women like Laura Bush.
232
233
You should be an example for your children. I show my three children what I am and expect them to live by certain controls. But, by the grace of god, they are good kids.
234
I’ve always been a big Cate Blanchett fan. Such a wonderful role model, the way she carries herself through her profession. She has so much grace to her, and so much intelligence. I’ve also always been a big Katharine Hepburn fan.
235
Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion.
236
237
I still do believe in carrying yourself a certain way, and I do my best to be somewhat of a role model. I’m not a perfect person. I’m a human being. I’m not the Lord, but I do accept that responsibility, and that’s why I do try to carry myself with confidence, with poise, with grace, and with class.
238
239
240
Listen with grace, with no judgment, without imposing the law.
241
242
Throughout our lives, God’s grace bestows temporal blessings and spiritual gifts that magnify our abilities and enrich our lives. His grace refines us. His grace helps us become our best selves.
243
Life is full of awe and grace and truth, mystery and wonder. I live in that atmosphere.
244

245
246
We don’t always get the kind of work we want, but we always have a choice of whether to do it with good grace or not.
247
248
249
But when women are moved and lend help, when women, who are by nature calm and controlled, give encouragement and applause, when virtuous and knowledgeable women grace the endeavor with their sweet love, then it is invincible.
250
251
252
The ability for us to laugh at ourselves is Britain‘s saving grace.
253
There are some fantastic roles for women and women of a certain age on television, whether it’s ‘Medium‘ or ‘The Closer’ or ‘Damages‘ or ‘Saving Grace.’
254
Patience is a virtue; virtue is a grace.
255
256
Years ago, I worked at a fashion magazine. I was the lowest man on the totem pole, one of the only men on that particular pole: a little brother with a dozen older sisters whose grace and glamour I so admired.
257
258
Any artist should be grateful for a naive grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
259
Science, which is not so attached to ‘truth’ as it once was, ut more to immediate ‘effectiveness‘, is now drifting towards a decline, it’s civic fall from grace.
260
261
262
Grace tried is better than grace, and more than grace; it is glory in its infancy.
263
264
Grace is given of god, but knowledge is bought in the market.
265
266
267
I love Grace Kelly. She can do no wrong.
268
I look at my grandmother, and she has this grace and class about her. When she walks into a room and sits down and talks to someone. Everything she does in life. I feel that women of her generation were really taught that.
269
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.
270
When I was a child, I was raised Catholic. Somewhere, I didn’t fit with the saints and holy men. I discovered the monsters – in Boris Karloff, I saw a beautiful, innocent creature in a state of grace, sacrificed by sins he did not commit.
271
I made an album of healing music called ‘Grace and Gratitude’ that came from my soul.
272
Once more, Never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace.
273
274
We are not saying that if you believe in evolution that you can’t be a Christian, not at all. Because the Bible says that by grace you are saved. You don’t save yourself. It is by confessing the Lord Jesus and that he was rose from the dead that you are saved.
275
I think it just came to a point where I made a decision to do better with my life and health. And that is only by God’s grace because there are no guarantees.

277
278
Soldiers, I had lately like to have been taken from you by the attempt of a few desperate men, but by the grace and providence of the gods, I am still preserved.

282
283
Melrose is the finest remaining specimen of Gothic architecture in Scotland. Some of the sculptured flowers in the cloister arches are remarkably beautiful and delicate, and the two windows – the south and east oriels – are of a lightness and grace of execution really surprising.
284
285
Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved.
286
Nudity has never seemed to bother Grace Jones. Her art has thrived, in part, on a physical candor that both shocked people and redrew the boundaries of taste, beauty, and eroticism around her masculinity, ebony skin, and unrelenting intensity.
287
288
Grace is the absence of everything that indicates pain or difficulty, hesitation or incongruity.
289
290
My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn’t really have a grace period to grow or anything; people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.
291
292
It’s pretty incredible to think that someone who once dreamed of a life in fashion could go from reading ‘Vogue‘ during recess in elementary school to eventually seeing his designs grace those very pages.
293
The work of healing is not my work, but by faith, healing is done. The work of deliverance, great and mighty deliverance, is not my work but is my faith in Him. It is not the works of righteousness which I have done, but according to His grace. I am a product of His grace.
294
295
Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace.
296
Many people ask me why I chose to remake ‘Devdas.’ I wanted to make a film that celebrated grandeur and grace.
297
298
299
I grew up with Grace Coddington coming over to our house, like, all the time, but, like, she was just, like, the woman with the red hair.
300
Will & Grace’ was my favourite show growing up and retains a special place in my heart, not least because it was such a refreshing and witty insight into gay life. The older me loves ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’
301
Estimates are that in 2012, more than 32 million books were available – the explosion, thanks to the ease of self-publishing; 2013 could see even more titles grace our virtual bookstores! That means we are going to be awash in covers and titles, plot descriptions and characters.
302
‘Boomerang!’ I love that movie just because of Halle Berry, Robin Givens, Eddie Murphy, Grace Jones and Eartha Kitt. There were so many characters. As an actress, to see African-American actors be so diverse was different from what I was used to seeing.
303
Our Holy Father says every one of us is in need of conversion, beginning with ourselves. We are all in need of the grace of Jesus Christ to receive the Gospel.
304
I don’t like to say I’m not a believer because I still feel like a believer in a lot of things, primarily hope and grace and the power of human connection.
305
My staff‘s job is to adjust to circumstances with technical precision and artful grace so that every patron has a wonderful experience.
306
I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace.
307
Christ’s Church is, above all, the spiritual temple where every Christian knows he has his place: he knows he has it, and he is aware of his duty to keep it with honor, dignity, and grace.
308
309
310
One of the things I did in my book, I start off with, is explaining how great our grace was: the things we were able to accomplish after the first one-hundred years from slavery.
311
Grace Portolesi is a strong, assertive passionate young woman and she is precisely the sort of person I want in my cabinet and she will have a senior role.
312
313
314
315
316
We didn’t, with ‘Will & Grace,’ set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.
317
It is true that I have been studying both humility and pride for many years for the purpose of weakening pride in my own life and cultivating humility by the grace of God.
318
I like playing a character every day. I like having something to go back to. I always enjoyed that with ‘Will & Grace.’ I like the camaraderie. I like having a crew that I know and I can work with every day.
319
I’d love to dance with grace and style, to move as easily as I write.
320
I was a go-go dancer, too. I called myself ‘Grace Mendoza’ to fool my parents.
321
322
Most of the time, it’s pretending I’m somebody else to get into a different head space. A lot of times, it’s just, ‘Who do I want to be onstage tonight? Is it going to be Marc Bolan, or is it going to be Grace Jones, or Roy Orbison?’
323
324
I did, like, 30 or 40 commercials before ‘Will & Grace’ where I was the straight husband. I had two spots on the Super Bowl in 1998 where I was the straight dude.
325
The reason why the Democratic Party fell from grace is because they become nothing more than elitist. That was it. Goldman Sachs – that’s who they were.
326
327
If we were not sinners, Jesus would not have had to come. If he didn’t see us as sinners, he could have loved us without dying for us. He died for our sins. So if we’re all sinners, that means everybody’s in the pot together needing the same love, the same grace and the same forgiveness.
328
It has been great journey from where I have started to where I am today. I am really blessed with God’s grace.
329
I try to be as real and honest about everything and very genuine with people and say, ‘Listen, I’m a Christian, and I’m not perfect. I screw up every day, but I think that’s what grace is all about.’
330
Attacking the indecency of life in much of the Southern Hemisphere is no longer a matter of grace, of charity, of patronizing kindness. It is a matter of intense self-interest.
331
These are tough times, and the New Yorkers I have met are facing economic adversity with grace and dignity. They worry about their future, care about their neighbors and hope this storm will pass so they can focus on better days ahead.
332
The ‘Grace of Kings’ isn’t a narrative about a return to some golden age, to a lost status quo ante. It portrays a dynamic world in transition, where the redistribution of power is messy, morally ambivalent, and only lurches toward more justice.
333
Grace, respect, reserve, and empathetic listening are qualities sorely missing from the public discourse now.
334
Beauty is grace and confidence. I’ve learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.
335
What St. Francis and St. Dominic have done, that, by God’s grace, I will do.
336
337
Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a greater grace, to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one.
338
Grace can and does have a history.
339
I haven‘t had any formal education. Through the grace of god, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language.
340
Christian children should be taught at an early age that everything they receive is because of God’s grace and love. They will grow up more appreciative and begin to understand that they, too, must have a relationship with Christ. Christian children should also be taught how to give.
341
Hawaii is not a state of mind, but a state of grace.
342
There’s no grace period between album one and album two.
343
The most surprising thing, honestly, is that so few Americans know about the orphan trains. I was also surprised at the resilience and fortitude of the riders I met, their pragmatism and grace. I don’t know whether this is a Midwestern trait or simply a human one.
344
Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.
345
By God’s grace, I’m well off and I feel the need to give to those who aren’t.
346
347
348
Do we recognize the platform that Indian cinema has been given? Of course. And typically India of us, we gracefully acknowledge our host‘s grace and we thank you for celebrating us and our cinema.
349
I have always marvelled at the grace and beauty with which my mum balanced her life.
350
Once I hit 45, there was a real downturn. But I got an incredibly provocative, delicious lead role in a television series called ‘Saving Grace,’ and I loved the character.
351
By God’s grace, my wife Shashi and I have been blessed with a daughter. It is the end of a long and painful wait for a child. It is a matter of unimaginable joy especially for my wife who had her heart set on another child ever since we lost our only son Shanu when he was just two-years-old.
352
Freedom is a choice. The grace of God abounds, and man is nonetheless free.
353
354
For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves.
355
That was the only trepidation I had about ‘Will & Grace.’ It had nothing to do with the sexuality of the character. It was more, ‘This could be the next 7 to 10 years of my life.’
356
I preach salvation by grace through faith alone. I preach for the repentance of sin.
357
If you depend on God’s grace there is no such thing as impossible.
358
To hit bottom is to fall from grace.
359
360
361
362
I see ‘Grace’ as an affectionate refusal of things that just aren’t true. With all our power and money and influence, we still can’t raise up high over people’s consciousness.
363
364
Most of the time one is discouraged by the work, but now and again by some grace something stands out and invites you to work on it, to elaborate it or animate it in some way. It’s a mysterious process.
365
366
367
That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you.
368
My favorite albumn ever is Jeff Buckley’s GRACE. I feel a weird unexplainable connection to him.
369
370
As a pastor in a Protestant church, my whole ministry centers on the conviction that by grace we are saved through faith. And it’s not our faith that delivers us, as if believing something, anything at all were pleasing to God. It’s the object of our faith – Christ’s life, death, and resurrection – that saves us.
371
372
373
The most powerful idea that’s entered the world in the last few thousand years – the idea of grace – is the reason I would like to be a Christian.
374
Grace Kelly forged a link between Monaco and the movie world, and I would like to create a strong bond between Monaco and the fashion community.
375
What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world.
376
377
Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.
378
I have come to one conclusion: All that I am, all that I aspire to be, all that I was before, is by the grace of God. There are so many women in Africa, and outside Africa, who are more intelligent than I am.
379
380
381
Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God’s Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.
382
383
384
I live my life and make mistakes and sin every single day… but that’s what grace is for.
385
386
We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.
387
‘Let’s Get Harry‘ was where I met Bob Singer and worked with him for the first time, and then ‘Reasonable Doubts‘ was the second time, and there was a thing after that called ‘Charlie Grace’ that was the third time. I liked working with Bob. A nice man and a good partner.
388
389
390
391
This great question of predestination and free will, of free moral agency and accountability, and being saved by the grace of God, and damned for the glory of God, have occupied the mind of what we call the civilized world for many centuries.
392
Thankfully, God’s restraining grace keeps even the worst of us from being utterly depraved. The worst people who have ever lived could’ve been worse.
393
I don’t feel I was ever a ‘famous’ child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way, that was my saving grace – not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.
394
Humility is the gateway into the grace and the favor of God.
395
Such sins, even if they do not kill all grace in us, do harm, nevertheless; and though they are only venial in themselves, they make us apt, ready, and inclined to lose grace and to fall into mortal sin.
396
There is always tension in women’s gymnastics between athleticism, grace, performance, and eros.
397
‘The Grace of Kings’ draws on Western traditions as much as it does on Chinese traditions, though the bones of the story are drawn from the Chu-Han Contention period before the Han Dynasty.
398
I don’t admire one particular style, but for evening events, I always look to Grace Kelly for inspiration.
399
The thing that I love about ‘Will & Grace’ is that there’s a clear-cut reason for my character to be there. I come in with the zinger. My character seldom has much to do with moving the story ahead. I know exactly what my job is there. It’s just a party, basically. I’m just having a ball.
400
401
When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.
402
Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.
403
Salman Khan gave me a break, and that proved to be a boon. By the grace of God, my first song was a blockbuster.
404
405
406
The Fall was super powerful to me because of their covers. They were intimidating. I bought ‘This Nation’s Saving Grace’ when it came out in 1985, and there was something about it that made me nervous. It terrified me.
407
408
I wanted to play for England at a World Cup and to grace the pitch for even two minutes at such a big tournament would have been huge.
409
In our case, my children and I couldn’t have made it through the tough times without the grace of God and the wonderful support we received from family and friends.
410
You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.
411
That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell.
412
413
I’m not sure what ‘coming out right’ means. It often means that what you do holds a kind of energy that you wouldn’t just put there, that comes about through grace of some sort.
414
I don’t want to do any more covers. It’s good to learn to make things your own, but the education’s over. ‘Grace’ is putting a lot of things to rest.
415
416
For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.
417
You are either good or you’re not at whatever your job is. And it is more important that you understand the grace and love and peace you have in Christ, whether you are good or bad at whatever you are doing every day.
418
419
The most beautiful learning in my Bigg Boss‘ journey has been to embrace all shortcomings with grace.
420
‘The Grace of Kings’ was meant to read like a set of legends about characters who were bigger than life.
421
422
I got ‘Will & Grace,’ and I thought, ‘Oh, this is different. I don’t know how to handle this. I’m not bright enough; I’m not quick enough, I don’t have the DNA to be a spokesperson for any kind of group of people.’
423
424
425
426
For me, it’s never been about being famous. I just want to be a successful singer. I wanna work hard… If I’m in the papers, grace, but I want to be there for the right reasons – for my music.
427
428
I was anxious to get back to my life before ‘Will & Grace.’ You do need that time to find who you are again. Who am I without this? With fame, you can’t help but lose yourself. You want to be the one who says, ‘I’ll always remain the same,’ but it is humanly impossible to disallow fame to change you.
429
430
For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of a Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a MaCaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
431
My opposition to Interviews lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language.
432
433
434
I was inspired by my son on the song ‘The Most Beautiful People Are Broken.’ Life is an extra challenge for him. But he does it all with such great grace and courage.
435
436
437
My mother is my greatest inspiration. She was an amazing mother and was very glamorous. My other inspirations include Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.
438
439
440
441
Through the grace of Christ we shall live in obedience to the law of God written upon our hearts. Having the Spirit of Christ, we shall walk even as He walked.
442
I have always looked up to Ileana for the way she presents herself. She is so full of grace and is a very honest person.
443
444
I love Soul, R+B, Electronic, and good pop. Really, the only thing I don’t listen to is country and heavy metal. I love Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Al Green, Fat Freddys Drop, Sade, Grace Jones, Bazoo Bijou, Prince, John Lennon, London Grammar, Daft Punk, Dr John, Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee, Gotye, and on it goes.
445
446
‘The September Issue’ is really a film about Anna Wintour’s relationship with long time ‘Vogue’ Creative Director Grace Coddington. The two of them have been working together for two decades, and the extraordinary symbiosis between them has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry.
447
448
God’s grace is definitely abundant.
449
I think America is strong enough to fix the problems, grace and honor to D.C. I think energy independence and control spending. We have to go to a balanced budget. Quite frankly, as far as our debt goes, I don’t think you can tax your way out of it. I think people are taxed enough.
450
By the grace of God, my parents were fantastic. We were a very normal family, and we have had a very middle-class Indian upbringing. We were never made to realise who we were or that my father and mother were huge stars – it was a very normal house, and I’d like my daughter to have the same thing.
451
452
453
454
I am seeking to be positive, have integrity, and speak with grace.
455
She may be called ‘Grace the Face’ for her physical beauty, but Grace Meigher is as beautiful on the inside as the outside.
456
I do not at all understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.
457
In the New Testament, religion is grace and ethics is gratitude.
458
The more English is heard in the world, the more gratifying it seems to speak French, and above all to know the culture of our country. They find a kind of French social grace in the language and culture.
459
The things I believe in now are grace and the power of human connection to change hearts and minds and the importance of civil dialogue.
460
461
462
I love ‘Grace and Frankie!’ Oh my God, it’s the best show.
463
When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part.
464
The paradoxes of today are the prejudices of tomorrow, since the most benighted and the most deplorable prejudices have had their moment of novelty when fashion lent them its fragile grace.
465
The Spending Control Act. It would recreate President Reagan‘s grace commission to have a bipartisan commission on how we reduce spending.
466
If art can be at the service of anything, it’s about letting us see a state of grace for those people who rarely get to be able to be seen that way.
467
468
I would give illegal immigrants already here a three-month grace period to apply for a temporary worker‘s visa. If they failed to apply within that time frame, they would be considered fugitives, and they would be found and deported.
469
Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.
470
I am the biggest klutz on set. I honestly don’t think I have ever been as klutzy as when I’m on set. People call me ‘Grace’ ironically because I’m not graceful. It’s ridiculous.
471
472
May the perfect grace and eternal love of Christ our Lord be our never-failing protection and help.
473
A desire to rescue secular America from fallen grace has driven conservative evangelicals at least since the 1970s, when Jerry Falwell formed the Moral Majority as a vehicle for conservative Christians to muscle their way into national politics.
474
After leaving school, I got a job in a department store not dissimilar to Grace Bros in ‘Are You Being Served?’
475
476
The hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ is so inspirational – I wish I’d written it.
477
The first memory I have in the world is of death and tears. That is how I would mark the beginning of my life: the way people mark the end of one. My family had gathered at Papa Joe‘s house because Mam’ Grace was slipping away, only I didn’t register it that way. For some reason I thought that it was her birthday.
478
479
There, but for the grace of God, goes God.
480
481
482
I learned to knit in 2002, six months after my 5-year-old daughter, Grace, died suddenly from a virulent form of strep. I was unable to read or write, and friends suggested I take up knitting; almost immediately I fell under its spell.
483
I think about ‘Will & Grace,’ and I think about ‘Modern Family,’ and the way that being gay has become sort of middle America… in the way that they show gay people in their specific way.
484
Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.
485
486
487
488
489
490
491
492
Connected to the collective heart, you can be certain in every cell of your being that you are never alone, and you will experience the grace, guidance and ease that comes when you are one with all there is.
493
It took me a long time to not think of the universe as a judgmental debit-credit system. I haven’t completely shaken it, but I no longer think that I am overdrawn with God. Grace is not something you earn; its always there. I find this idea a lot more fun.
494
Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.
495
496
Courage is grace under pressure.
497
Due to God’s grace and a good director, I became successful.
498
In all of my books, I really want to work with working-class people. My goal is to show the moments of grace and dignity in their lives.
499
Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.
500
Love is a spiritual grace. We learn it from God.
501
502
What does it take to be the first female anything? It takes grit, and it takes grace.
503
Grace in women has more effect than beauty.
504
The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.
505
For me, the arts has always been sort of my saving grace.
506
Upon further reflection, I think that the things Alex Jones has said and done are so hurtful to so many people that a member of Congress should not grace that platform and legitimize it, and I would not go back.
507
508
I know that I’m here because of the grace of God. But I also know that I’ve been given this second chance for a specific reason, and that is to bring love to the world again through the voice of my music, and I’m so honored to be able to do it. I’m so blessed that God has chosen me to do that.
509
510
511
512
513
514
515
The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies, and that’s where I found my material, in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired, you don’t come home your best self.
516
I don’t have the strength or wisdom to get through a single day without guidance and grace from God.
517
518
As a practicing Catholic all my life, my faith and the church are never far from my mind. The lessons I learned in the church have structured the way I’ve approached my life and my career. They were lessons of grace, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.
519
Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.
520
The funniest women I’ve known are Southern. It is such a vital way to get what you want. Charm and grace and a sense of humor will take you a long way.
521
Live a life of grace. You’ll be a better person for it, and so will your children.
522
If I were ever to grace the pages of ‘Vogue,’ I would want my image retouched because the audience is so vast. There is great vulnerability in being exposed to that many judging eyes. I feel no small amount of guilt over this willingness to surrender my ideals.
523
But Patsy, she was a great, great girl. And Brenda Lee is a wonderful person, and her mama Grace. I’ve known those folks for years and years and years.
524
525
I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I thank them for their patience and grace.
526
God’s grace is amazing! We’re saved by grace – God’s undeserved favor – and we live by grace, which is also God’s power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it’s all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely.
527
Religion and education are no match for evil without the grace of God.
528
By God’s grace and strength of my work, I’ve managed to build a respectable image that I use to serve both my continent and my country.
529
I like to play like that, with beauty and grace.
530
By the grace of God, my son’s career is doing very well.
531
There were few people, perhaps, more passionately fond of travelling, and seeing fresh places, and new scenes, than myself; but now, since, by the grace of God, I have seen beauty in the Lord Jesus, I have lost my taste for these things.
532
533
I think everyone can relate to that fall from grace – having life change in an instant or having to stand for some of your bad choices, that feeling of ‘Nothing is ever going to be good again.’
534
I think it’s more optimistic about human nature to acknowledge that people are the products of their time but then to see that they have moments of grace and dignity that everybody has.
535
536
537
I am the promise guardian to a wonderful girl called Grace, a role akin to a godfather but without the Christian responsibilities, as I am a devout Jedi.
538
Because I had three years on ‘Perception,’ I think I succeeded in showing I can do other things, and I can create a different audience, even from people who loved ‘Will & Grace.’
539
540
I still have a lot to learn about what the love of Christ is like – that it’s not just knowledge… but it’s allowing the truth to change you – allowing Christ’s message of grace and hope and love through the cross, that that message is the message that changes the way we look at everything in our lives.
541
542
Accident is as much a part of fiction as anything else, symbolic of the grace that, along with will, conspires to put words on the page.
543
544
545
In ‘Surprised by Grace: God’s Relentless Pursuit of Rebels,’ I retell the story of Jonah and show how Jonah was just as much in need of God’s grace as the sailors and the Ninevites.
546
547
Instead of taking a year off, I started ‘Dreamers of the Day’ exactly 36 hours after I sent the manuscript for ‘A Thread of Grace’ to the publisher!
548
If in prayer I come before a throne of grace, the faults of my prayer will be overlooked.
549
If the Lord should bring a wicked man to heaven, heaven would be hell to him; for he who loves not grace upon earth will never love it in heaven.
550
Verse in itself does not constitute poetry. Verse is only an elegant vestment for a beautiful form. Poetry can express itself in prose, but it does so more perfectly under the grace and majesty of verse. It is poetry of soul that inspires noble sentiments and noble actions as well as noble writings.
551
552
The older I get, I realize, ‘Man, I’m a very rare bird,’ and that’s not because of necessarily my talent or ability; it so much depends on luck and just the grace of the universe.
553
Whatever we are waiting for – peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.
554
From my years on ‘Will & Grace,’ you’d think I’m Madonna.
555
556
If we are interested in Christ by faith, notwithstanding our imperfections and sins, God will be our God through grace.
557
558
By the life we live through the grace of Christ, the character is formed. The original loveliness begins to be restored to the soul. The attributes of the character of Christ are imparted, and the image of the Divine begins to shine forth.
559
Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God’s word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.
560
561
I don’t take off my nail polish when I go home because I’m too lazy, and they’re fine with it. Maybe the checkout at the grocery store’s not so great with it, but they’re fine with it. The distrust, the phobias, those are learned, those are taught. But the natural grace is to understand and to love.
562
Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It’s one-way love.
563
I know, to banish anger altogether from one’s breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God’s grace.
564
With her grace and grit, and the will to lead change, Misty Copeland is truly a ballerina for our time.
565
