Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
Image
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
Bono
Image
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
Bono
Image
Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn't it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?
Bono
Image
It's much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won't keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty, I don't know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we've got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, 'Is this it? Are we still relevant?'
Bono
Image
It's still very difficult for me to rely. Your weakness, the blessing of your weakness is it forces you into friendships. The things that you lack, you look for in others.
Bono
Image
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.

In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono

If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It's a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting.
Bono
Image
There is a root arrogance in any writer a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them.
Bono
Image
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
Bono
Image
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
Bono
Image
Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.
Bono
Image
I do see the good in people, but I also see the bad --- I see it in myself. I know what I'm capable of. Good and bad. It's very imnportant that we make that clear. Just because I often find a way around the darkness doesn't mean tjat I don't know it's there. (Bono)

Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
Bono

If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
Image
Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
Bono
Image
What turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.
Bono
Image
Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
Bono
Image
U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.
