Gods Quotes
-
It was man who first made men believe in gods.
Critias
-
If we were to gain God's perspective, even for a moment, and were to look at the way we go through life accumulating and hoarding and displaying our things, we would have the same feelings of horror and pity that any sane person has when he views people in an asylum endlessly beating their heads against the wall.
Randy Alcorn
-
This is the future. This is where mankind takes its next great step. This is where we become gods.
Adrian Tchaikovsky
-
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
Rudyard Kipling
-
The human soul is God's treasury, out of which he coins unspeakable riches.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
The idle wife ranked with the ornamentally wrought weapon and with the splendid offering to the gods as a measure of the man's power to waste, and therefore his superiority over other men. ... As is the case with any other object of art, her uselessness is her use.
Emily James Smith Putnam
-
If you're sincerely seeking God, God will make His existence evident to you.
William Lane Craig
-
The glorious gifts of the gods are not to be cast aside.
Homer
-
I never could see that delicacy of constitution is pretty, either in plants or women. No doubt there are many lovely flowers to be had by heat and constant coaxing, but then for each of these there are fifty others still lovelier that will gratefully grow in God's wholesome air and are blessed in return with a far greater intensity of scent and colour.
Elizabeth von Arnim
-
Black chaos comes, and the fettered gods of the earth say, Let there be light.
Thomas Hardy
-
Did the gods once mingle with humankind, or is Homer a visionary madman, or, what is worse, a mere poet, a maker-up of beautiful falsities, an elegant liar? I shall grapple with that perplexity, only to emerge as I went in, in a cloud of unknowing, if perhaps a little the wiser.
Eva Brann
-
God's trustiest lieutenants often lack official credentials. They may be professed atheists who are also men of honour and high public spirit.
George Bernard Shaw
-
The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities.
Confucius
-
Heaven, too, was very near to them in those days. God's direct agency was to be seen in the thunder and the rainbow, the whirlwind and the lightning. To the believer, clouds of angels and confessors, and martyrs, armies of the sainted and the saved, were ever stooping over their struggling brethren upon earth, raising, encouraging, and supporting them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
-
Know we how many tomorrows the gods intend for our todays.
Euripides
-
Like most Chinese, I am basically a fatalist - too sophisticated for religion and too superstitious to deny the gods.
Bette Lord
-
I do not think that G. H. Hardy was talking nonsense when he insisted that the mathematician was discovering rather than creating, nor was it wholly nonsense for Kepler to exult that he was thinking God's thoughts after him. The world for me is a necessary system, and in the degree to which the thinker can surrender his thought to that system and follow it, he is in a sense participating in that which is timeless or eternal.
Brand Blanshard
-
Gods are called many by the error of some who worshipped many deities, thinking as they did the planets and other stars were gods, and also the separate parts of the world.
Thomas Aquinas
