For me the goddess is the female of God She is powerful if different.

It's a mystery. That's the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one it's mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept and you have to take it seriously.

Love it has been said flows downward. The love of parents for their children has always been far more powerful than that of children for their parents and who among the sons of men ever loved God with a thousandth part of the love which God has manifested to us?

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting but I cannot suffering as I am do without something which is greater than I am which is my life the power to create.

Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god it has of course powerful muscles but no personality.

For it pleased God after he had made all things by the word of his power to create man after his own image.

I deeply believe that if the Australian Labor Party a party of which I have been a proud member for more than 30 years is to have the best future for our nation then it must change fundamentally its culture and to end the power of faceless men. Australia must be governed by the people not by the factions.

Healthy children are born from healthy respected well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.

Therefore I am sure that this my Coronation is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future and for the years I may by God's Grace and Mercy be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.
