Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.

Ezra Taft Benson

If your calling is media, if your calling is media, fine, if your calling is sports, whatever it is, but you've gotta be the greatest you can be now. Now. Before America is so completely altered and we're left with Hillary's brain, in the Oval Office, in a jar. Because that's what we're getting.

Matt Drudge

Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.

Meister Eckhart

People with the strongest and healthiest sense of calling are not obsessed with their calling. They are preoccupied with the Caller.

John Ortberg

Calling EMACS an editor is like calling the Earth a hunk of dirt.

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job.

Paul Schullery

Consider calling it a challenge rather than calling it a crisis.

Calling a taxi in Texas is like calling a rabbi in Iraq.

Fran Lebowitz

Calling all citizens all over the world, this is Captain America calling.

Ray Davies

At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness.
