Before you talk to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people;  Before you tell me how much you love your God show me how much you love all His children;  Before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbors.  In the end, I'm not interested in what you have to tell or sell as in how you choose to live and give.

-Cory Booker

Why do you look to the mote that is in your borther’s eye, but don’t consider not the beam that is in your own eye...You hypocrite, first cast the beam from your own eye.  Neither cast your pearls before swine.  Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.

-Matthew 7:3, 5-7

Most people have seen worse things in private than they pretend to be shocked at in public.

-Edgar Watson Howe

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus is just as selfish as we are or we’ve got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition… and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.

- Stephen Colbert
