Bono Quotes - the Wisdom of Bono

Bono (Paul David Hewson): (1960-):

Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

Religion often gets in the way of God.

Objectivity is the cure for depression.

Inspire people to do things for themselves. Inspire people to think for themselves.

To carry each other is not a burden at all but a kind of privilege.

I come from Ireland and I've seen the damage of religious warfare. I am a believer. I don't wear the badge on the outside but it is on the inside.

I am still amazed at how big, how enormous a love and mystery God is -- and how small are the minds that attempt to corral this life force into rules and taboos, cults and sects.

There are righteous people working in a whole rainbow of belief systems--from Hasidic Jews to right-wing Bible Belters to charismatic Catholics.

I'm actually starting to like more and more people who have convictions that are unpopular.

God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. I love that.
