Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man (More Lay Thoughts of a Dean)
William Ralph IngeGod will not forgive us if we fail.
Leonid BrezhnevAll the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Charles A BeardGod exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.
Marianne WilliamsonI always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will. [Including music?]
Billy Ray CyrusMan has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent; but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
Sigmund FreudWhen you read God's Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, 'It is talking to me, and about me.'
Soren KierkegaardIt is God who is the ultimate reason of things, and the knowledge of God is no less the beginning of science than his essence and will are the beginning of beings.
Gottfried Wilhelm LeibnizAnd he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted. (Deuteronomy 28:37)
DeuteronomyAloneness is nearer God, nearer reality.
Gwen JohnThe Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'
Billy GrahamAll sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
VoltaireHe was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting 'All the Gods are bastards.'
Terry Pratchett'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 LewisAs the infection of sin spreadeth itself throughout the whole soul, and all the faculties and powers thereof, so doth the work of the Spirit of God.
George GillespieA dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
Pearl BuckHistory is a vision of God's creation on the move.
Arnold ToynbeeDon't talk to me about rules, dear. Wherever I stay I make the goddam rules.
Maria Callas'And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face... and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul. Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly. We could be God's glow... Heal the world.'
Michael JacksonCast your cares on God; that anchor holds.
Frank Moore ColbyThere are still men who come up to me today and say, 'You were really hot in that film!' I was 14, for God's sake!
Katherine HeiglBut however long you may have continued in rebellion, and how ever black and long the catalog of your sins, yet if you will now turn to God by a sincere repentance, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall not be cast out.
Archibald AlexanderIf you don't believe in God, all you have to believe in is decency. Decency is very good. Better decent than indecent. But I don't think it's enough.
Harold McMillanI had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter.
Christopher MorleyPray God no professional may ever captain England.
Lord HawkeUltimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.
Norman MailerAll things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all. [Hymn]
Cecil Frances AlexanderI disappointed myself... I disappointed God. (On a wet t-shirt competition)
Catherine BosleyMan is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
André GideBut in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
BibleThe moral flabbiness born of the bitch-goddess Success.
William JamesIndeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.
Thomas JeffersonThe peace of God, which passeth all understanding. [Nicene Creed, The Blessing]
Book Of Common PrayerChance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.
Anatole France"What is the chief end of man?" "To glorify God and to enjoy him forever."
The Shorter CatechismFaith 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 TillichI look at my hands and go, 'Hmm...what happened? Whose hands are those? Oh my God, they're mine'
Sheryl CrowGod works in mysterious ways. But so does the devil
Jason MercheyGod gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings
Thomas BecketThrow away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path.
George HerbertI thank God and I thank Ted Turner (her estranged husband) everyday that I don't have to make movies.
Jane FondaA god whose creation is so imperfect that he must be continually adjusting it to make it work properly seems to me a god of relatively low order, hardly worthy of any worship.
Martin GardnerThe grace of God is courtesy.
Hilaire BellocGod creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
Soren KierkegaardArguing whether or not a God exists is like fleas arguing whether or not the dog exists. Arguing over the correct name for God is like fleas arguing over the name of the dog. And arguing over whose notion of God is correct is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog.
Robert FulghumI'm an Atheist...thank God.
Dave AllenHere lie I, Martin Elginbrodde:
Hae mercy o' my soul, Lord God;
As I wad do, were I Lord God,
And you were Martin Elginbrodde.
George MacDonaldHave courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
Victor HugoGod's footballer hears the voices of angels
Above the choir at Molineux
Billy BraggIf you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.
Lee Trevino
