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.
By the grace of God, my son’s career is doing very well.

God’s grace is definitely abundant.

We are poor, feeble, and blind mortals when the eye of the Almighty looks through all worlds and by his power executes all things aright, and by his grace, he makes us all rich in Heavenly Gifts.

Football was my saving grace so I want to let people know that you can achieve whatever you want. People like to concentrate on what you can’t do, so let’s preach what you can. Why would I want to talk about not being quick when I’m strong? That’s what I want to get across.
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.
Since I was a young wrestling fan, I’ve been fascinated by super heavyweights and was always amazed at Yokozuna’s amazing grace and agility. How could a man who was so large still remain so athletic and retain perfect in-ring timing and spot-on psychology?

‘Amazing Grace’ is about the man who wrote ‘Amazing Grace,’ John Newton. It’s a really great show – I have been workshopping it for a while now, actually.
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.

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 ‘Grace and Frankie!’ Oh my God, it’s the best show.
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.
As a pastor in a Protestant church, my whole ministry centers on the conviction that by grace we are saved through faith.

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.’

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.
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.
A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace.
‘Saving Grace’ was a full stretch-out – literally, physically, spiritually, psychologically. And I needed to take a year-and-a-half off when it was over.

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
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.

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.

I love Twitter, and my little corner of it is heavily weighted in favour of women, many of them writers: Caitlin Moran, India Knight, Lauren Laverne, Grace Dent, Deborah Orr, Marina Hyde, Suzanne Moore. I look at that list of names and think, ‘Here comes the fun – fun that knows its way around a dictionary.’
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.
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.

The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us.
That’s the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.

‘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.
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.
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.

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.

For me, every hour is grace.

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?’
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.
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.

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.

I love ‘Chaplin‘; I mean I really love ‘Chaplin.’ I just think there’s a grace and an elegance that’s almost never been matched.

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.

Promise keeping is a powerful means of grace in a time when people hardly depend on each other to remember and live by their word.
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.
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.

I was really proud of the Three Days Grace record ‘One-X.’

I had seen the ballet of ‘Swan Lake‘ as a child but it was as an adult, when I saw a production featuring Erik Bruhn, that I first noticed how significant a part the ever-present threat of violence played. This juxtaposition of great beauty and grace with a backdrop of pure evil stayed with me for years.
Make sure you are safe, and never ever put yourself in a compromising situation, but once that is checked off the list, I think it’s really important for us to remember that someone needs us, and that your act of giving/helping/doing can truly become an act of grace once you get out of your head.

By the grace of God, I’m the only person in my family with any musical ability.
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.

In this day the breeze of God is wafted, and His Spirit hath pervaded all things. Such is the outpouring of His grace that the pen is stilled and the tongue is speechless.

Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.

I haven’t had any formal education. Through the grace of god, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language.

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
