Gods Quotes
-
Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
The gods have been good to you. But what the gods give they quickly take away. You have only a few years in which to live really, perfectly, and fully. When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it, and then you will suddenly discover that there are no triumphs left for you, or have to content yourself with those mean triumphs that the memory of your past will make more bitter than defeats. Every month as it wanes bring you nearer to something dreadful. Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde
-
Modern man has lost any sense of God's nearness, but Christianity teaches that God reveals himself through every single thing he has ever brought into being, whether a created object or historical event.
R. C. Sproul
-
Man's highest blessedness, In wisdom chiefly stands; And in the things that touch upon the Gods, 'Tis best in word or deed To shun unholy pride; Great words of boasting bring great punishments, And so to grey-haired age Teach wisdom at the last.
Sophocles
-
We may excuse the spiritual poverty of our preaching in many ways, but the true secret will be found in the lack of urgent prayer for God's presence in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.
Sophocles
-
God's willingness to answer our prayers exceeds our willingness to give good and necessary things to our children, just as far as God's ability, goodness and perfection exceed our infirmities and evil.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and demons.
Pythagoras
-
. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
To travel like a bird, lightly to view | Deserts where stone gods founder in the sand, | Ocean embraced in a white sleep with land; | To escape time, always to start anew... | Hooded by a dark sense of destination... | Travelers, we're fabric of the road we go; We settle, but like feathers on time's flow.
C. Day Lewis
-
To give oneself ernestly to securing righteousness and justice among the people, and while respecting the gods and demons, to keep aloof from them, that may be called wisdom.
Confucius
-
Man has created gods in his own likeness and being himself mortal he has naturally supposed his creatures to be in the same sad predicament.
James G. Frazer
-
God made a beauteous garden With lovely flowers strown, But one straight, narrow pathway That was not overgrown. And to this beauteous garden He brought mankind to live, And said "To you, my children, These lovely flowers I give. Prune ye my vines and fig trees, With care my flowers tend, But keep the pathway open Your home is at the end." God's Garden
Robert Frost
-
This is a beautiful time of year with spring beginning to burst forth in many parts of the world, bringing all of its colors, scents, and cheerful sounds. The miracle of the changing seasons, with the reawakening and rebirth in nature, inspires feelings of love and reverence within us for God's marvelous, creative handiwork.
M. Russell Ballard
-
Beloved Pan and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and the inward man be one.
Socrates
-
This is God's work, and God's work will not be frustrated. But there is still much to be done.
M. Russell Ballard
-
God's mills grind slow, But they grind woe.
William R. Alger
-
I am a monarch of God's creation, and you reptiles of the earth dare not oppose me. I render an account of my government to none save God and Jesus Christ.
Napoleon Bonaparte
-
Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
All God's plans have the mark of the cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it. Grim care, moroseness, anxiety,--all this rust of life, ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. It is better than emery. Every man ought to rub himself with it. A man without mirth is like a wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it runs.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
Though the favourites of the Gods die young, they also live eternally in the company of Gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
