Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things
Mark Driscoll
Image
Code writers, they are my idols.

I'm not a universalist, and the way I talk about final loss is this: People worship idols - money, whatever. Their humanness gets reshaped around the idol - you become like what you worship. That's one of the basic spiritual laws.
N. T. Wright
Image
Mankind are an incorrigible race. Give them but bugbears and idols -- it is all that they ask the distinctions of right and wrong, of truth and falsehood, of good and evil, are worse than indifferent to them.
William Hazlitt
Image
My idols are Janis Joplin and Annie Lennox, who are neither of them from the typical pop culture.
Natalie Cole

So often we think that Allah only tests us with hardships, but this isn't true. Allah also tests with ease. He tests us with na`im (blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests that so many of us fail. We fail because when Allah gives us these blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols in the heart.
Yasmin Mogahed

We must overturn so many idols, the idol of self first of all, so that we can be humble, and only from our humility can learn to be redeemers, can learn to work together in the way the world really needs.
Oscar Romero
Image
Our world has grown weary of greed, exploitation and division, of the tedium of false idols and piecemeal responses, and the pain of false promises.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Let us say Yes to life and not death. Let us say Yes to freedom and not enslavement to the many idols of our time. In a word, let us say Yes to the God who is love, life and freedom, and who never disappoints.
Pope Francis
Image
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
Image
The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
Pope John Paul II
Image
I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.
Rafael Nadal
Image
People were never meant to be idols. We aren't supposed to be worshipped. Only God deserves that kind of praise.
Karen Kingsbury
Image
They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.
Rick Springfield
Image
And I don't see that popular measures, self-abnegation and democracy have done anything for Man but push him further into the mud. Currently, popularity endorses degraded novels, self-abnegation has filled the Southeast Asian jungles with stone idols and corpses, and democracy has given us inflation and income tax.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
A country without idols is nothing.
Roberto Clemente
Image
I would switch roles with Madonna for a day. Or if Audrey Hepburn was still alive, Audrey Hepburn. I love Audrey Hepburn. She's one of my idols also.
Lindsay Lohan

Remove all the walls and curtains so you can get closer and purely love. Have principles but do not use them to exclude or to judge the others. Stay far from idols, specially from those you made from your own principles. Have a powerful faith, but do not play the powerful.
Shams Tabrizi
Image
Dead metaphors make strong idols.
Marcia Falk
Image
All the idols made by man, however terrifying they may be, are in point of fact subordinate to him, and that is why he will always have it in his power to destroy them.
Simone de Beauvoir
Image
The test of having ceased to be an idolater is: When you say 'I', does the body come into your thought or not? If it does, then you are still a worshipper of idols.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The movie stars and matinee idols are put into the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy. They can be bought and thumbed more easily than public prostitutes.
Marshall McLuhan
Image
Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.
Timothy Keller
Image
I don't want to know about my biggest idols. I don't want to read their autobiographies, I don't want to find out what they're really like.
