Let peace descending from her native heaven bid her olives spring amidst the joyful nations and plenty in league with commerce scatter blessings from her copious hand!

Now for my own case I bless the Lord that for all that hath been said of me my conscience doth not condemn me. I do not say I am free of sin but I am at peace with God through a slain Mediator and I believe that there is no salvation but only in Christ.

Four years of Jimmy Carter gave us two titanic Reagan landslides peace and prosperity for eight blessed years - and even a third term for his feckless vice president George H.W. Bush.

On balance my life has been a constant stream of blessings rather than disappointments and failures and tragedies. I wish I had been re-elected. I think I could have kept our country at peace. I think I could have consolidated what we achieved at Camp David with a treaty between Israel and the Palestinians.

We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

I think God's really blessed me with patience. I'm good with a lot of things going on at once.

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains losses and disappointments but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful healthy children who keep me completely grounded sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.

Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive even the smallest task in music is so absorbing and carries us so far away from town country earth and all worldly things that it is truly a blessed gift of God.

Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.

Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?

I love it man I'm 23 years old and I'm lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can't believe it's happening.

This morning of the small snow I count the blessings the leak in the faucet which makes of the sink time the drop of the water on water.

Somehow I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.

I am so blessed. I've been way over-blessed. At 64 years old I look forward to going to bed every night so I can wake up in the morning and see what blessing is going to come my way that day. Because you never ever know what God's got in store for you.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

But it's a blessing to be so successful within a year it's the greatest feeling in the world making money and doing the things that I'm doing and I definitely trying to continue doing what I'm doing.

What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy's tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.

I'm extremely blessed to have the extraordinary mother that I have and I don't mean Diana Ross I mean the mother. My mom paved a road that didn't exist as did Oprah.

We all seek approval and our mother's seal is usually the most important. The nitty gritty is that we have to accept ourselves even if it is just to be ready for the next cut-down. Mom's blessing or not.

God blessed me with two unbelievable parents and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom because she wants to save the world and help the world so I am just like her.

My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.

Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some.
