Pastoral Resources

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them.

I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.

I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.

I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.

At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

Being on Disney, a lot of young people look up to me.

Having wires strewn across your couch and across the floor is a big deal to a lot of people.

Right now, more people enjoy movies, music, television and movies than they do video games.

We are losing each day an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more. If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is.

It is our people who are sitting in the dark because of these cowardly and treacherous attacks, not our occupiers.

Some people say that practice makes perfect but I just feel that the repetition works against me and I start thinking too far ahead during a show.

Just the same way I'd say a prayer before going onstage, taking that even further and using the drum to inspire people. And using that as a vehicle for the intention.

Before my accident I was a little too... selfish and self-absorbed and for me, to now be at the place where I can kinda give back and inspire people. I'm blessed. I'm really blessed.

Among our own people also the church sorely needs clergy in close touch with the ordinary life of the laity, living the life of ordinary men, sharing their difficulties and understanding their trials by close personal experience.

If the Old Testament were a reliable guide in the matter of capital punishment, half the people in the United States would have to be killed tomorrow.
