Gods Quotes
-
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
-
This is the spirit of prayer--sincere, humble, believing, submissive. Other prayer than this the Bible does not require--God will not accept.
Gardiner Spring
-
Give worshipfully. Our giving is a reflexive response to God's grace. It doesn't come out of our altruism - it comes out of the transforming work of Christ in us.
Randy Alcorn
-
Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.
Aristotle
-
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
-
If you're sincerely seeking God, God will make His existence evident to you.
William Lane Craig
-
No days, perhaps, of all our childhood are ever so fully lived as those that we had regarded as not being lived at all: days spent wholly with a favourite book. Everything that seemed to fill them full for others we pushed aside, because it stood between us and the pleasures of the Gods.
Marcel Proust
-
But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength.
Victor Hugo
-
The gods sell to us all the goods which they give us.
Epicharmus of Kos
-
I do believe that there are gods, and in a far higher sense than that in which any of my accusers believe in them.
Plato
-
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
-
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
-
Never dwell on the tomorrow; remember, that it's God's and not ours.
Edward Bouverie Pusey
-
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
Michael J. Fox
-
Love is sublime, truly, a precious gift. But also, alas, one of God's little pranks. It's naive of you to confuse love with happiness, as if they were somehow the samae thing. In fact love, once found, is more akin to gravity: too strong, too close, and it will crush you. Unless you're careful, always.
Wil McCarthy
-
Now - find God's dream for your life and go all out for it!
Robert H. Schuller
-
The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by, to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
God's chief gift to those who seek him is Himself.
Edward Bouverie Pusey
-
If I were rich I would have many books, and I would pamper myself with bindings bright to the eye and soft to the touch, paper generously opaque, and type such as men designed when printing was very young. I would dress my gods in leather and gold, and burn candles of worship before them at night, and string their names like beads on a string.
Will Durant
-
Again, truth should be highly valued; if, as we were saying, a lie is useless to the gods, and useful only as a medicine to men, then the use of such medicines should be restricted to physicians; private individuals have no business with them.
Plato
-
Dead are all gods: now we want the overman to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
It was man who first made men believe in gods.
Critias
