None speak of the bravery, the might, or the intellect of Jesus; but the devil is always imagined as a being of acute intellect, political cunning, and the fiercest courage. These universal and instinctive tendencies of the human mind reveal much. -

I believe in person to person. Every person is Christ for me, and since there is only one Jesus, that person is the one person in the world at that moment. -
Mother Teresa

We believe that the history of the world is but the history of His influence and that the center of the whole universe is the cross of Calvary. -

You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, ''That is God.'' -
Martin Luther

All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book. -

We're more popular than Jesus Christ now. I don't know which will go first; rock and roll or Christianity. -

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me. -
John Lennon

He comes into the world God knows how, walks on the water, gets out of his grave and goes up off the Hill of Howth. What drivel is this? -
James Joyce

-
Two thousand years ago there was One here on this earth who lived the grandest life that ever has been lived yet--a life that every thinking man, with deeper or shallower meaning, has agreed to call divine. -

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved. -
John Knox

-
Never has any one been less a priest than Jesus, never a greater enemy of forms, which stifle religion under the pretext of protecting it. By this we are all his disciples and his successors; by this he has laid the eternal foundation-stone of true religion; and if religion is essential to humanity, he has by this deserved the Divine rank the world has accorded him. -

Every time that I think of the crucifixion of Christ, I commit the sin of envy. -
Simone Weil

Somewhere in the bible it say Jesus hair was like lamb's wool, I say. Well, say Shug, if he came to any of these churches we talking bout he'd have to have it conked before anybody paid him any attention. The last thing niggers want to think about they God is that his hair kinky. -

I thank God for the honesty and virility of Jesus religion which makes us face the facts and calls us to take a man's part in the real battle of life. -

Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal? -

The Galilean is not a favorite of mine. So far from owing him any thanks for his favor, I cannot avoid confessing that I owe a secret grudge to his carpentership. -
Percy Bysshe Shelley

I wouldn't put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if He wanted, but I very much doubt if He would. -

A heroic figure... not wholly to blame for the religion that's been foisted on him. -
