I think that one can have luck if one tries to create an atmosphere of spontaneity.
Federico Fellini
We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinion, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing ever gets settled in this town (Washington). It's not like running a company or even a university. It's a seething debating society, in which the debate never stops; in which people never give up, including me, and that's the atmosphere in which you administer.
George P. Shultz
The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.
George Washington
When you love a man, he becomes more than a body. His physical limbs expand, and his outline recedes, vanishes. He is rich and sweet and right. He is part of the world, the atmosphere, the blue sky and the blue water.
Gwendolyn Brooks
Fear is an acid which is pumped into one's atmosphere. It causes mental, moral and spiritual asphyxiation, and sometimes death; death to energy and all growth.
Horace Fletcher
Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language or music without atmosphere.
James Martineau
The pressure of public opinion is like the pressure of the atmosphere; you can't see it - but all the same, it is sixteen pounds to the square inch.
James Russell Lowell
Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural, and Jesus says, "every one that asketh receiveth."
Oswald Chambers
Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety.
Rose Kennedy
Before a secret is told, one can often feel the weight of it in the atmosphere.
Susan Griffin
I think it is important that we rebuild an atmosphere of forgiveness and civility in every aspect of our lives.
T. D. Jakes
Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
Victor Hugo
Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps till the legend, "over steep ways to the stars," fulfills itself.
W. C. Doane
Business rapes relationships. It substitutes shallow frenzy for deep friendship. It feeds the ego but starves the inner man. It fills a calendar but fractures a family. It cultivates a program that plows under priorities. Many a church boasts about its active program: "Something for every night of the week for everybody." What a shame! With good intentions the local assembly can create the very atmosphere it was designed to curb.

... feel like we are a part of the celebration. And being a part of the Christmas celebration will make us a happy, praying, and thankful congregation. Let us first discuss what it means to be a happy church. In a happy church, there is an atmosphere of joy that makes the members of the congregation feel that they are bathed in the Christmas spirit. Parishioners find that being a part of the church is exhilarating, not depressing. A happy church knows that Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus taught ...

Matthew 5:1-12

... a virus had driven many from the area around Nazareth north to the shores of Capernaum and other harbor towns. Rome felt oppressive, and so did their local governments. Faith was rare. Revolts common. Bloodshed was an almost everyday occurrence. The atmosphere was politically charged and economically challenged. So imagine the curious and confused looks when Jesus starts to speak: “Blessed are the poor in spirit……for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” “Blessed are the meek…..for they will inherit ...

... and side. We want to know him as our Savior and Friend. We want to see Jesus. That is part of why we are in worship today. We haven’t come to learn the latest political philosophy or to celebrate some dead theology. The hymns are lovely, the atmosphere is cordial, the prayers are reassuring, but none of it counts for anything if we cannot see Jesus. We would like to see him because something is missing in our lives. Once we had such high hopes, such great dreams, such a fresh sense of Christ’s presence ...

... time. It was one of the high holy days of Judaism. It was a time to gather the families together. People came from all over the country to stay with their friends and relatives. Passover always had sort of a homecoming, Christmas and Mardi Gras atmosphere all rolled into one. It was a time of remembrance and celebration. It was both festive and introspective. And on this day, the first day of the week, the pilgrims were entering Jerusalem armed with the traditional festal branches, emblems of the king's ...

... miles of the earth on February 15, 2013. But because astronomers were focused on this one asteroid scientists weren’t looking when another asteroid actually struck the earth that day. It was an unbelievable coincidence! A smaller meteor plunged into the atmosphere and exploded over the small town of Yekaterinburg in the Chelyabinsk area of the isolated region of the Ural mountains with a blast equivalent to twenty atomic bombs the size of the one that exploded over Hiroshima, injuring over fifteen hundred ...

... age of 36, Arcimboldo received an invitation to accept a post as Court Portraitist at Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II’s imperial court in Vienna. Suddenly the budding artist was thrust into a rich renaissance-style intellectual and artistic atmosphere, which boasted interchange between botanists, astronomers, physicians, and alchemists. These would influence his art, and soon he would begin churning out vegetable and fruit likenesses of local celebrities and benefactors. At first, these may seem to us ...

... Chazzam turned the service over to Jesus who came forward and sat in the “preaching chair” and read from the Isaiah scroll, Jesus launched into his sermon and people felt that he was doing an excellent ministry of preaching (Luke 4:22). Suddenly the atmosphere inside the building darkened. Anger surfaced to a boiling point? Why? What was the cause? The obvious reason was the compliment that he paid to Gentiles. The Jews believed that they were God’s exclusive people. Anyone else was just fuel for hell ...

... and pantries and sent food to the restaurant. So did local grocery stores and dairies. As hungry community members filled the restaurant, they also looked for ways to help. Without being asked, people began cleaning the counters and mopping the floors. Soon, the atmosphere felt more like a family diner than a restaurant meal. Within a few days, Reb and Jackay served 16,000 meals to members of their hard-hit community. (4) In the midst of devastating circumstances, two people put the needs of the community ...

... of this makes tipping not just a requirement but a pleasure, especially when that person has done an amazing job, when he or she has been outstandingly helpful and kind, efficient and quick, attentive and focused, and delivers a nourishing and beautiful plate in a pleasant atmosphere. Now think about what Jesus is asking us as disciples to do. I want you to close your eyes for a moment and imagine that you are putting on your “servant’s apron.” Or perhaps for you it’s a nurse’s uniform, a nun’s ...
