Quotes
Credentials are like potential energy, the compliments of a name on paper, in documents, word of mouth, but faith is like kinetic energy, the motion and the force that which is witnessed. Hence in the end, all credentials are false because faith is true. - Criss Jami
I never came to the point where I felt that I had made it. I never had a defining moment of success, actually. I always had the feeling that the work I was doing was good and worthwhile. But I never had a moment where I felt, 'I've done it. My credentials are complete.' - Susan Sontag
My faith is a very important part of my life. I do not feel that I have to preach to people. I just try to live my life by example. My spirituality is not a sometime thing; it is an all-the-time thing. It is not a question of whether I go to church or not. It's basically whether I live my life according to the principles of the Scripture and the word of Christ. I'm fallible. I'm human. So I'm not always perfect, but I do know that I have to pass on the word and pass on the message. - Steve Largent
