I am called here to answer before you, but I hear no things laid to my charge.

For you see this scripture fulfilled this day and therefore I desire you as you tender the Lord and the church and commonwealth to consider and look what you do.

One may preach a covenant of grace more clearly than another... But when they preach a covenant of works for salvation, that is not truth.

Neither do I think that I ever put any dishonour upon you.

I do here speak it before the court. I look that the Lord should deliver me by his providence.

The Lord knows that I could not open scripture; he must by his prophetical office open it unto me. So after that being unsatisfied in the thing, the Lord was pleased to bring this scripture out of the Hebrews.

In considering found that the papists did not deny him to be come in the flesh, nor we did not deny him - who then was antichrist? Was the Turk antichrist only?

I have been guilty of wrong thinking.

As I understand it, laws, commands, rules and edicts are for those who have not the light which makres plain the pathway.

But after he was pleased to reveal himself to me I did presently, like Abraham, run to Hagar. And after that he did let me see the atheism of my own heart, for which I begged of the Lord that it might not remain in my heart.

Must not I then entertain the saints because I must keep my conscience.

Will it please you to answer me this and to give me a rule for then I will willingly submit to any truth.

If any come to my house to be instructed in the ways of God what rule have I to put them away? Do you think it not lawful for me to teach women and why do you call me to teach the court?

They thought that I did conceive there was a difference between them and Mr. Cotton... I might say they might preach a covenant of works as did the apostles, but to preach a covenant of works and to be under a covenant of works is another business.

If you look upon the rule in Titus it is a rule to me. If you convince me that it is no rule I shall yield.

I am called here to answer before you, but I hear no things laid to my charge.

How did Abraham know that it was God that bid him offer his son, being a breach of the sixth commandment?

I conceive there lies a clear rule in Titus that the elder women should instruct the younger and then I must have a time wherein I must do it.

But now having seen him which is invisible I fear not what man can do unto me.

You spend so much time writing a character the way I did with Buddy Baker and then Green Arrow that you start to care about them. And you almost think of them as people, you know?

O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!

I am not what I think. I am thinking what I think.

There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost certain that there is life somewhere in space.

I drink coffee. Without coffee, I probably couldn't write.

Life isn't about the final moments, it's about the journey, it's about process. What makes 'Rocky' work as a movie is seeing him working his way up from the streets to the arena and the fight of his life. You could just show that fight, and it would be great, but seeing that journey illuminates that fight and adds profound meaning to it.

When Im worried and I cant sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep. And I fall asleep counting my blessings.

Bill Gates has become the patron saint of philanthropy and the poster child of rebirth, and from what I can tell, rightly so.

Politics, in a sense, has always been a con game.

I rant, therefore I am.

Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.

The way they taught history in schools was not appealing. They stressed wars and dates. They left the people out. I was attracted to history by the need to know about the people. In China, I went to a British school, and we just learned about kings and queens. Back in America, I had the regular social studies curriculum.

I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.

I often remembered also that I had been told, that we shall have as many devils biting us, if we go to hell, as we have unconfessed sins on our consciences.

I would never suggest anyone to stay at a company more than six or seven years. We grow as individuals and the world is moving so fast. Typically, I'll always sell a piece of each of my companies along the way.

The Barks of Trees are best gathered in the Spring, if it be of great Trees, as Oaks or the like, because then they come easiest off, and so you may dry them if you please, but indeed your best way is to gather all Barks only for present use.

Realistically speaking, I don't know how many more years I will want to be acting or will be invited to be.

Nobody is that thick-skinned that it doesn't hurt you. Still, you always know what happens in football. I have got used to criticism, I suppose, having been high profile with England and Man U.

I went to America to get away from constantly being cast in costume dramas, playing posh people.

Reconciliation is more beautiful than victory.

In a shared fish there are no bones.

I love accents. It's a great way to separate yourself when playing a role.

The whole point of film for me is that it's such a joy. It's such a wonder. The possibilities are literally endless in terms of what you can creatively do.

Every life of a character is within a context. If I write detached from a social and political background, my story looks like a soap opera where everybody is indoors, not working and living off their emotions.
