You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in my god or you go to hell.
— Bangambiki HabyarimanaMy hope fuels my determination to overcome any difficulty.
— Lailah Gifty AkitaNo one knows what god thinks of anything. He only knows and no one can claim to penetrate into his mysteries. Those who do that are liars and must be avoided at all costs.
— Bangambiki HabyarimanaWhy doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away? Religious leaders know that all religions are equal; they know that no one of them has the monopoly to the knowledge of God. They know that each religion is trying to find the hidden God and that no one religion can claim to have found him beyond doubt. That's why they remain where they are and respect each other.
— Bangambiki HabyarimanaNo one can foretell the details in a day, we can only hope.
— Lailah Gifty AkitaGracious words refresh, restore and revive the soul.
— Lailah Gifty AkitaWhat a blessed bliss to be alive?
— Lailah Gifty AkitaMay the power of the Holy Spirit give us the grace, strength and wisdom.
— Lailah Gifty AkitaNew hope, new adventure.
— Lailah Gifty AkitaYou take away my golden dreams and my visions of paradise, in its place you wake me up and hand me your reasons and facts and crude reality. You have ruined my life. If I commit murder or hang myself, let the god I used to pray to repay you in full.
