These are the same quotes that are on the category pages. But I decided to list them all together to make it easier for people to search them. Most browsers have a "Find on this page" function which should help you to find quotes with certain keywords or, say, quotes by Andrew easily. With AOL You can do this by going to Edit and then Find on this Page in the menu bar. For IE go to Edit and then Find (on this page). Other browsers should work similarly. Also, some quotes may be repeated. I'll try to weed those out as I can but will probly miss some. ~~Jenni


"Well, what can I say, baby. The world is full of anger and people have a way of saving it up and then dumping it on the next unsuspecting poor soul that gets in their way. Please, don't let this get under your skin, just ignore it. You better *learn* how. Don't let this ugliness in your heart, because in this human form, what's in your heart is what you become." ~~Tess, Monica's Bad Day

"I learned a terrible lesson today. A simple gesture, a hateful remark, a single word can change the world." ~~Monica, Monica's Bad Day

"Guard your heart, Angel Girl. It's the wellspring of life. Well, your heart and your soul's like a river that can be poisoned very easily if you're not careful. You see there, it's started all ready. You let that man get to you and now you've taken up his anger. It's like some kind of a human virus you've caught." ~~Tess, Monica's Bad Day

"I tried to tell you, baby. That attitude that you've caught is contagious. It should have stopped with you, but it didn't. Now it's just going to be passed from one person to the next to the next to the next. And before we get out of here, everybody in this place will have it." ~~Tess, Monica's Bad Day

"Words can be just as dangerous. They have substance and power, and when they come at you in the form of anger, they can tear into a soul and knock it to the ground." ~~Monica, Monica's Bad Day

"You should be back there right now.... thinking that maybe there *are* good reasons to stay alive. But instead you're here, and you're here because of something that *I* did. I didn't even know I was doing it. A river starts with a stream, that began with a creek, and was once a single drop of water. And in life, a world of hate begins with a room full of anger, that starts with a single word--one thought, one act. It should have stopped with me. If I would have just forgiven right there and then, the anger would have died in my heart. But instead it got stronger and uglier and moved from heart to heart to heart until finally it reached you." ~~Monica, Monica's Bad Day

"People have been painting pictures and writing songs and making movies about heaven and all ever since they could breathe, but they have never come close." ~~Tess, Fear Not!

"You're not only always going to hear the angels. When little children get older, other voices drown the angel voices out. But you should never stop listening for them. Sometimes you'll hear them in the trees. Sometimes you'll hear them in the crickets at dusk. Sometimes you'll only hear an angel in the sound of "hello." But never stop listening. And never forget that you did once hear them. And some day you'll hear them again." ~~Clara, A Joyful Noise

".....I finally realized I was weak, and gave control of my life over to God. And I think that's why He sent me here to help you." ~~Liz, Mother's Day

"God is not a luxury you can't afford; He's a necessity you truly cannot live without!" ~~Monica

"God sees those moments because, where He is, those moments have already happened. God knows what your tomorrow looks like because He's already there. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow- He holds them all in His hand, all at once. And He holds you there too." ~~Andrew, My Dinner with Andrew

"There's got to be a reason for all this. So I say 'Go with the flow until you know,' baby." ~~Tess, My Dinner with Andrew

"Let God help you make it work this time. He is the difference between trying and doing. And He is right here waiting to give you the strength you need to turn your life around. He wants so much for you to stand tall in the presence of the miracle He has given you." ~~Monica

"How much faith does an angel have? We don't have any at all, absolutely none. You see, we don't need it, but you do. That's what makes you strong; believing today in the light that doesn't come until tomorrow." ~~Monica, The Big Bang

"Yes, there will be rivers for you to cross, but when you walk through the water, He will be with you. And yes, there will be mountains for you to climb, but when you can't take another step, He will carry you. And there will be people to cherish and hearts to change, but He will hold your hand every step of the way if you'll just let Him!" ~~Monica, The Big Bang

"He might not give you what you want, but He always gives you what you need. Believe me, I just figured that out for myself. The hard way." ~~Monica, Voice of an Angel

"God turns everything around all the time, so something good's got to come of this. I just can't tell you when, that's all. He'll never leave you or forsake you." ~~Sam, Jacob's Ladder

"With God, all things are possible. You know, I've met a lot of men who don't believe in angels, but I never met a man who didn't want to." ~~Sam, Jacob's Ladder

"No, it's not okay. Because somewhere deep inside of you, there's a part of your heart where you won't allow yourself to go because you're afraid to see what you've been hiding there. And you've closed a door on that part and you've put a great big lock on it. And that's why you're heart feels so heavy, and that's why you aren't able to give all of it away. Only you can decide to remove the locks and go into that dark room. But if you decide to do it, if you can put your faith in God, He will go in there with you! It will be different this time. I promise." ~~Monica, True Confessions

"It's up to you. But whatever you decide, remember that God will be with you." ~~Monica, True Confessions

"God's timing is not our timing." ~~Andrew, Miles to Go Before I Sleep

"God loves you. He gave you a great gift. He gave you His blessed assurance, and He made you a promise that He would mend your broken heart if you would give Him all the pieces. But you didn't. You held onto them. You held onto the guilt and the anger and the loneliness. And those pieces are sharp, and they're dangerous. And the tighter you hold them, the deeper they will tear into your soul until your spirit bleeds to death. That is what you are doing to yourself… it is horrifying, it is ugly, and it is suicide." ~~Monica, Mother's Day

"When we share our dreams with God, He won't laugh. As a matter of fact, God will take our dreams more seriously than we do, because He knows no compromise. He doesn't deal in pieces of happiness and shadows of dreams. He will ask more of us then we ask of ourselves, but He will return more to us than we could ever hope or imagine ourselves." ~~Rafael, Nothing but Net

“You go ahead and you dream!  You dream as big as you can and then you hand it to Someone who really cares about what you’re doing.” ~~Rafael, Nothing but Net

"I think the smartest thing in the world is to ask for advice before you need it." ~~Monica

"God has something to say to you. And when He has something to say, He doesn't hide His message behind a door. He's not ashamed of the words He has to say. He can write them in the sky, He can write them in your heart, or He can send His angel to speak them right out loud. You've been too afraid to believe in anything good in this world. He loves you. God loves you." ~~Monica, Stealing Hope

"Who you are is not your name or your family. Who you are is more essential than that; it comes from God. And what you make of yourself, that is what you give back to God." ~~Monica, Manny

“No is one of my favorite words… ‘No’ can be one of the most positive words in the world.  ‘No, I have not surrendered.’  ‘No, I will not give up…’  No, you have not failed.  Yes, God is very proud of you.” ~~Monica, Jones Vs. God

"How can you judge something fairly when you don't know what the rules are? You can't play God because you AREN'T God." ~~Monica, Interview With An Angel

"Sometimes you have to lose your life before you can find it." ~~ Monica, Redeeming Love

"No matter what happens, never forget who you are.  Never." ~~ Sam, Jacob's Ladder

"I haven't come to bring you pity. I am a reflection of God's love, and so are you. God doesn't make mistakes, but you did. You chose to believe what mirrors tell you and what the eyes of others reflect instead of finding who you really are from the One who made you. You were made in God's image. It's true! When you are patient, when you are kind, when you turn your back on anger, you reflect the character of the One who made you. The One who called you to be a man after His own heart. A good father, a kind soul, a messenger of great joy and laughter. Yes, God laughs. You should know better than most the healing that laughter can bring to this world. ~~Monica, A Clown's Prayer

"Cast your bread on the water. See what happens!" ~~Monica, Monica's Bad Day

“Perhaps you were brought to the kingdom for just such a time as this.' You are the one! And I'll let you into a little secret from Heaven. Sooner or later everyone is 'the one'. They just have to say 'Yes' when the time comes." ~~Monica, For Such a Time as This

"Now, I know you're afraid, but you've got to tell them how you feel, because sometimes parents teach their children things, and sometimes children have to teach their parents things." ~~Andrew, A House Divided

"God loves you. He will walk with you all the way, but it's up to you to take the first step." ~~Monica, There, But for the Grace of God

"If you can't find the love, let God love through you." ~~Sam, In the Name of God

"Love is like air. There's plenty to go around for everybody." ~~Tess, The One That Got Away

"God never created anything stronger than the power of real love. It lives forever, and you never know where it's coming from next." ~~Monica, The One That Got Away

"It's time to start imagining how much He loves you." ~~Monica, A Joyful Noise

"He loves you perfectly, unconditionally." ~~Andrew, How Do You Spell Faith?

"God really loves you. To him, you are His beautiful child." ~~Andrew, How Do You Spell Faith?

"But you are something special more than you know. And Someone does love you and want you." ~~Monica, Voice of an Angel

"Who? God. What? He loves you. Where? Everywhere. When? Always, forever, without ceasing. How? Totally, completely. Why? Because you are His child!" ~~Monica

"You've forgotten who God is. Nothing-- not death or life or war, not the present or the future or the past-- no one, no creature on this earth, can separate you from the love of God." ~~Monica, Jacob's Ladder

"You have always belonged. You've always been a child of God, and that should have been enough. But you want more. And at what price? What is it going to matter if you gain the whole world and lose your soul?" ~~Tess, Smokescreen

"You know how people sometimes say 'love is blind'? Well, sometimes it's stupid, too." ~~Tess, The One That Got Away

"People hold on to each other for all reasons they don't understand, and they call it love. But it's really fear." ~~Tess, An Unexpected Snow

"Love doesn't hide. It stays and fights. It goes the distance. That's why God made love so strong, so it can carry you all the way home." ~~Monica, The Southbound Bus

"God has always known and it has not changed His love for you. And whatever you decide to do tonight He will still love you just the same. The only thing that will be different is that you will not know how much He loves you until you let Him show you, and that takes faith." ~~Monica, Perfect Little Angel

"Love is not a line you draw in the sand and then dare the other person to step over.  Love is not a feeling that comes and goes.  Love is a choice and God wants you to make that choice right now."  ~~Monica, Buy Me a Rose

"Marriage is God's way of letting people practice loving one person completely, no strings attached. When they learn how to love each other like that, they get a better idea of how God loves them." ~~Tess, Buy Me A Rose

"He doesn't ask if you deserve His love. He only asks if you'll accept it. And if you will, then He will be your Shepherd always, and you shall not want for anything that truly matters. There will be peaceful places where you can rest your spirit, and He will restore your broken soul, and wherever you find yourself, He will be there, pointing the way." ~~Monica, With God As My Witness

"Well, love makes room for everybody. You get married because you're in love. You stay married because you do love." ~~Tess, The Perfect Game (I)

"A misunderstanding. An expectation that doesn't get met. A cross word that leads to another and another and another. But for every hurt that happens, there's always a choice that follows. Stay or walk away. Talk or be silent. Stand and risk rejection, or leave and guarantee it. When people love each other, it usually doesn't end because they stop loving; it ends because they stop trying.” ~~Monica, The Perfect Game (I)

"Love is the greatest gift that God can give two people. But if you don't accept it, if you let pride get in the way of the words "I love you," then love has no place to go but away. God loves you so much, and He will always give you a second chance to love." ~~Monica, The Perfect Game (I)

"But there's something that you can do. Do you have a child? Promise me something: that every time they walk away from you, your last words will be, 'I love you.'" ~~Santos, True Confessions

Debra: God really loves me?
Monica: Yes and there's not a thing you can do about it! (from The Driver)

"God can always hear you." ~~Monica, There, But for the Grace of God

“Dear God, I’m sorry for my anger and my frustration, but I wanted to thank you for this day.  This horrible, awful, hot, sticky, terrible day in which I’ve been totally, totally humiliated, because if it wasn’t for You, I wouldn’t have had any day at all, so I thank You.” ~~Monica, Jones Vs. God

"You must never be afraid to ask for what is good and right. You just have to know where to go to ask for it." ~~Tess, Something Blue

"Don't be afraid. God loves you. And He has heard your prayer." ~~???

"There is a difference between what your heart feels and what it knows. Your heart is for holding things: joy, love, pain. But looking to you heart for an answer instead of praying for one can get you into trouble. The answer to prayer comes from God and listening to Him will never trip you up." ~~???

"Nothing is impossible, you know. You can do all things through Him who gives you strength. Just ask." ~~???

"Ask God. He is your helper and He loves you and He is listening." ~~Tess, The Quality of Mercy

"Humbling yourself before your Creator and asking for advice is a sign of strength, not weakness. It suggests that in a world that demands so much of your minute of every day, there is One who knows who you really are and loves you anyway." ~~Tess

"When one voice stops God will always raise up others to take up the song" ~~Monica

"Funny, isn't it, how you have to be silent sometimes before you can communicate. Be still and know that He is God." ~~Monica, The Hero

"You ought to pray more often. You can pray some really good ones when you get around to it. What did you think, they just float up, up, and away like balloons? God's keeping track of you." ~~Tess, Promised Land

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. May Your love guide me through the night and wake me with the morning light" ~~Monica

“Every prayer gets answered. Sometimes the answer is ‘No.’ But sometimes the answer is ‘Not yet.’’ ~~Monica, Til We Meet Again

"Have you noticed that as strong as God is, and as powerful as He is, when He speaks, it's with a whisper.  The children always listen better when you whisper." ~~Tess, The Letter

"Well, maybe that's your problem, baby. The only things that live under rocks are slimy little worms. You want something good you gotta look up for it, not down." ~~Tess

"God asks that you let Him be a member of this family. Invite Him to sit at the head of your table, to bless the work of your hands and to let your work be a blessing to everyone." ~~Monica, Quality Time

"For all we eat and all we wear, for daily bread and loving care we thank thee Lord.  Amen." ~~ Pete's prayer, There, But for the Grace of God

"Every day is a chance to start over, my friend." ~~Monica, Jacob's Ladder

"It's time for forgiveness. Forgive. Be forgiven. And God will fill you with a peace beyond all understanding." ~~Tess, Portrait of Mrs. Campbell

"You must accept responsibility for the choices you made. Only then can you fully receive the forgiveness your heart needs to heal." ~~???

"When people don't like something about themselves, they paint over it so no one else can see it... Our job is to expose their true colours to the light.." ~~Tess

"'If' is the saddest word in the history of language... you hold onto that "if" long enough, it can eat a hole right into your heart." ~~Tess, Lost and Found

"God isn't taking something away from you. God is giving you something. It's a gift. The chance to start over. God is there to mend your heart and heal your soul, but you have to let Him." ~~Monica, Out of the Darkness

"You know, sometimes you have to remember the bad things so that you can learn from them." ~~Monica

"Sometimes when God closes a door, He opens a tent flap." ~~Tess

"Sometimes the help we need is not the help we want. **Do you know why God put people's faces on the front of their bodies?** Faces are in the front so people can see where they're going, not where they've been. We have to go forward, not backward." ~~Monica, Out of the Darkness, selection in ** first spoken by Al

"Look I'll spell it out for you: We mess up sometimes. You haven't exactly thrown Him for a loop, you know. He can handle it. So, get over it." ~~Al, Out of the Darkness

"God loves you. And He knows the secrets of your heart. The horrors that you've endured you cannot blame Him for. You've let the past come between you and God. Turn the past over to Him. He is strong enough to take it. Give Him your future, too. And He'll make you strong enough to face it." ~~Claire, Jacob's Ladder

"Shame brings you down. But true humility will only lift you higher." ~~Tess,  There, But for the Grace of God

"I do know that no mistake you've ever made is greater than God's power to fix it." ~~Monica, Operation Smile

"And you have something else, too. You have a second chance. God loves you so much. He wants you to take only what you need into the new century and leave what you don't in the old one. Take the good memories. Take the faithfulness of your Heavenly Father and share it with someone who loves you. For now that you know the truth you mustn't be afraid of love anymore. Only God can decide what's too late. And you, honey, are right on time!" ~~Monica, Millennium

"What do they dream about?"
"Who?"
"Humans, what do they dream about?"
"Being awake."
"I heard they try to fix in dreams what went wrong in their awakeness."
"Awakeness?"
"You know what I mean."
"I think when they're dreaming that's the only time people are really completely honest with themselves.”
"That's why they hardly ever remember them."
~~Monica and Andrew, Millennium

"But all you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And it is this moment, right now, when you can choose to make everything new." ~~Monica, Fallen Angela

"It's amazing all the different ways they come up with to compete with each other. As if winning a game is going to fix whatever is wrong in their lives. And in the end, it never really does." ~~Andrew, The Perfect Game (I)

"And I've been wondering all night why He chose this place, this night. And I've been wondering why He wanted us to play a game before we could do our work. I think it's because there's such an interesting lesson to be learned from bowling: You always get a second chance. It doesn't matter how you throw the ball--right down the middle, right in the gutter--you always get a second chance to make it right." ~~Monica, The Perfect Game (I)

"But God wants you to live, and He wants you to live knowing the truth. Nothing you can ever do will change what you have done. But with God's help you can change your life. That's all that you can do now--that's the best that you can do now. You will always remember what you did that day. And then you will remember what God did THIS day. Almighty God, who has the power and the right to punish you has shown you mercy. He has forgiven you!
Why? Because you are His child too, and He loves you!" ~~Monica, True Confessions

"How can He blame you for being human when He made you human?" ~~ Monica, The Driver
