John Quotes

Christianity is not the faith of the complacent, the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls like Wesley, Wilberforce, Bonhoeffer, John Paul the Second, and Billy Graham. Each showed, in their own way, the relentless and powerful influence of the message of Jesus Christ.
Mitt Romney

Faith, Powerful, Jesus

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it.

What could possibly go wrong?
Rush Limbaugh

Health, Care, Country

Leader, Older, Definitely

Paul McCartney

Time, Him, Jesus

Paul McCartney

Money, Business, Pretty

Why couldn't Obama have picked somebody respectable as his running mate, you know, like John Kerry did?
Ann Coulter

Why, Somebody, Running

There's a good television programme called 'Disco 2.' It's quite good but again it's average, average. It's all on a down play. You know we've got this thing in England to be hip is to speak very down - like John Peel. And that just about sums up England. They don't realize when they talk like that, then that is what they represent - absolutely.
David Bowie

Good, Down, Play

Carlos Santana

Music, Kindness, Down

Meanwhile, a new art world was coming into being.
Jerry Saltz

Time, Money, Art

Jon Stewart

Freedom, Liberty, Away
