I believe in God, but not as one thing,
not as an old man in the sky.
I believe that what people call God
is something in all of us.

and all the rest said was right.
It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
- John Lennon

- John Lennon

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God,
I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal,

But he is my biggest pride.
- John Lennon

Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
