Jay-Jay Okocha Quotes

I believe in God, family, truth between people, the power of love.

I like people of faith, and I believe the more people who have spirituality, the better the world will be. It's about peace and tolerance.

My mother was a regular church-goer and was very tolerant.

I respect religion and will respect any religion.

The best religion is the most tolerant.

My father was the superintendent of the churches in the state of Montana. He was content in his beliefs. He befit the term 'true Christian.' He would turn the other cheek. He was truly a man of peace.

I believe that God wants us to show respect.

Teach a child what is wise, that is morality. Teach him what is wise and beautiful, that is religion!

I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it's not my place to judge. I don't have that power. I don't want that power. It's my place to love and to show God's love to other people, even if they don't live a life like I live.

Understanding the need for religion is a far superior goal to bashing it.

Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation.

As a practicing Catholic all my life, my faith and the church are never far from my mind. The lessons I learned in the church have structured the way I've approached my life and my career. They were lessons of grace, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.

My faith tells me where to go and get started and what kind of sympathy to have for people once you get there.

I think when you're dealing with faith, you want to be as responsible and sensitive to the material as you can.

I do not think any religion encourages intolerance. Intolerance is the biggest mental defilement, and every religion tries to remove this defilement. So we must understand that whenever there is intolerance, this comes from an irreligious mind. It is not created by religion, and it is not in the mind of the religious person.

I'm a very spiritual person, and I believe in God and all that kind of stuff. So my perfect type of guy would be spiritually grounded, extremely respectful and funny because I love to laugh.

I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.

I think the world would be much poorer without religion, speaking generally.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

It doesn't matter what tradition you come from, what religion you have or don't, what culture you were brought up in or what God you ascribe to: Faith is worthwhile as it helps us to be kinder, more generous, more loving and forgiving people.

Choose to be kind. Choose to forgive. Let your love grow and shine so that people may look at the example of your life and glorify God in Heaven.

Jesus showed us how to be courageous and sacrificial while we die for our beliefs, not while we kill for them.

For me, it's about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It's where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me.

I believe in having a more open mind and including others who don't share your faith and having dialogue with them. And just having a pure heart and being a good person can bring you closer to God. Because once you believe in one particular religion fully and not others, that requires you to start disliking people who don't share your views.
