I am growing more and more aware that all too often we preachers aim at nothing and hit it.

Most of us know perfectly well what we ought to do; our trouble is that we do not want to do it.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize, things that I said yesterday, with nobody paying too much attention, I say the same things after I got it - oh! It was quite crucial for people, and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.

I think that as a band, we find joy, and we love what we are doing. We are very good friends, so we get on very well, and we have a lot of respect for each other. We have a lot of respect for what Westlife is. We have a very, very solid and strong fan base all over the world.

I've had great experiences or joyful experiences making a movie that people found very disturbing.

It is the same in love as in war; a fortress that parleys is half taken.
