  • When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. -- Sinclair Lewis
  • Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way. -- Pope Francis
  • I don't like to consider myself a normal preacher. When you look at religious people, they're the ones who hung Christ from the cross. I look at myself as a man carrying a message of hope. -- Sam Childers
  • What you experience in the army, aged 18 to 21, is what you take through all your life. You cross invisible lines: you shoot someone, get shot, break into people's houses. It's naive to think you won't carry anything into your life. -- Etgar Keret
  • Many think that the price of discipleship is too costly and too burdensome. For some, it involves giving up too much. But the cross is not as heavy as it appears to be. Through obedience, we acquire much greater strength to carry it. -- James E. Faust

  • Jesus went to the cross for sins He didn't commit. Hello! You can carry a grudge just thinking about that, but don't do it. He knew what He was doing. It was His choice, and He did it willingly. It was the will of the Father, and He always did the will of God without complaint. So what is it that we have to complain about? -- Monica Johnson

  • A man shows himself a true disciple of Christ by carrying the cross in his turn every day in the activity that he is called to perform. -- Pope John Paul II
  • Everywhere we look, ideology slouches along the freeways and autoroutes, sometimes carrying a cross, sometimes a sickle, sometimes a crescent, but always busy doing somebody in somewhere, somehow. -- Robert Todd Carroll
