God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed - that is the meaning of evolution.
Graham GreeneI never saw a moor, I never saw the sea; Yet know I how the heather looks, And what a wave must be. I never spoke with God, Nor visited in Heaven; Yet certain am I of the spot, As if a chart were given.
Emily DickinsonI don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her.
Arthur C ClarkeYou will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate
Pope John Paul II"I think God is a giant vibrator in the sky... a pulsating force of incredible energy."
David ArquetteGod has plans which mortals don't understand. He rests in the womb when the new baby forms. Whispers the life dream to infinitesimal cells. It is God who lies under the thoughts of man. He is cartilage. Memory.
Ellease SoutherlandFaith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.
Paul TillichGod's apology for relations.
(on friends)
Hugh KingsmillWe can act as if there were a God; feel as if we were free; consider Nature as if she were full of special designs; lay plans as if we were to be immortal; and we find then that these words do make a genuine difference in our moral life.
William JamesNearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! [Hymn]
Sarah Flower AdamsThose whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad
Euripides'Is it easy to love God?' asks an old author. 'It is easy,' he replies, 'to those who do it.' I have included two Graces under the word Charity. But God can give a third. He can awake in man, towards Himself, a supernatural Appreciative love. This is of all gifts the most to be desired. Here, not in our natural loves, nor even in ethics, lies the true centre of all human and angelic life. With this all things are possible.
C S LewisNo government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free, no one ever will. Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.
Anatole FranceGod hath sworn to lift on high
Who sinks himself by true humility
John KebleTo take away life is a power which the vilest of the earth have in common; to give it belongs to gods and kings alone
MetastasioGod is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things.
Pablo PicassoAnd he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted. (Deuteronomy 28:37)
DeuteronomySome call it evolution,
And others call it God (Each In His Own Tongue)
William Herbert CarruthI often feel with God and humans and angels that it's up to us to make something or to break it, to do things or not do them.
Nastassja KinskiPray always for all the learned, the oblique, the delicate. Let them not be quite forgotten at the throne of God when the simple come into their kingdom.
Evelyn WaughYou're not actually thinking about kissing - you're thinking, 'Is my face in the right place, is my hair there, oh my God, you can see my nipple.' [on kissing scenes]
Thandie Newton'I believe in the Bible. I believe that all good things come from God. I don't believe I'd sing the way I do if God hadn't wanted me to.'
Elvis PresleyThe greatest act of faith is when a man understands he is not God.
Oliver Wendell Holmes JuniorIn such a world as this, with such hearts as ours, weakness is wickedness in the long run. Whoever lets himself be shaped and guided by any thing lower than an inflexible will, fixed in obedience to God, will in the end be shaped into a deformity, and guided to wreck and ruin
Alexander MaclarenGods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.
Chapman CohenOh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God? [Under Milk Wood]
Dylan ThomasGod watches over drunks and third baseman.
Leo DurocherGod was satisfied with his own work, and that is fatal.
Samuel ButlerOur flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow-red, yellow, brown, black and white-and we're all precious in God's sight.
Jesse JacksonThe question, 'How can you believe in a God who permits suffering on this scale?' is therefore very much around at the moment, and it would be surprising if it weren't - indeed it would be wrong if it weren't. [after the 2004 Asian tsunami]
Rowan WilliamsOut of disbelief in God we have impudently assumed that all of life is now subject to our own will. [Diagnosing the problems that have caused all the social ills of the modern age]
Leslie FarberGod has been replaced, as he has all over the West, with respectability and air conditioning.
Imamu Amiri BarakaHe who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
AristotleNot even the gods can withstand necessity
Gerard Didier ErasmusI said to this priest: 'Am I expected to believe that if I went out and had an affair that God was really going to be upset? Okay, thou shalt not kill... steal... but thou shalt not commit adultery? If no one is any the wiser, what the hell difference does it make?' He was lovely. He told me the Commandments were laid down for a lot of guys living in the desert
Diana DorsIt is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed
James JouleFor, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
Saint AugustineWhat a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer! [Hymn]
Joseph ScrivenDodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.
Ansel Adams Oh, that God the gift would give us
To see ourselves as others see us
Robert BurnsI’d go gay for her. She was a fascinating and exotic woman. There was so much to admire about her. She lived life to the full, maybe a little too fully. I want to release the inner Tallulah in me. God knows I can’t get a man - so maybe I should cross over [on Tallulah Bankhead]
Kylie MinogueI hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.
Paul TillichWhen you look at electrical things you can see that they are made of small and big wires, cheap and expensive all lined up. Until the current runs through them there will be no light. Those wires are you and me and the current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us and produce the light of the world or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.
Mother TeresaGod wills, Man dreams, the Work is born.
Fernando PessoaGod exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.
Marianne WilliamsonWhat you don't understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.
Boris PasternakWhen the Hun is poor and down, he's the humblest man in town, But once he climbs all holds the rod, He smites his fellow man and God.
Joseph CatsI can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman.
King James IThe future is a bright as the promises of God.
Adoniram JudsonI could prove God statistically.
George Gallup
