God Quotes
-
Faith means wanting God and wanting to want nothing else.
Brennan Manning
-
Deism, historically, produces atheism. First you make God a landlord, then an absent landlord, then he becomes simply absent.
N. T. Wright
-
Is there a higher energy? I would say yes, even if the energy is collective. Even if it's kind of Jungian, or the whole thing is collective consciousness, that may be God as far as I'm concerned. So is there an energy that's higher than mine? Yes.
Holly Hunter
-
Sometimes you want to whisper in God's ear, 'God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?'
Desmond Tutu
-
You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.
Oswald Chambers
-
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Einstein is loved because he is gentle, respected because he is wise. Relativity being not for most of us, we elevate its author to a position somewhere between Edison, who gave us a tangible gleam, and God, who gave us the difficult dark and the hope of penetrating it.
E. B. White
-
Whoever is gripped by God's spirit turns to his creation with all the interest that comes from God's love.
Eberhard Arnold
-
I have walked into several pubs, and guys in there have said to me, 'My God, you are the girl off the dancing horse.' They have got no idea about dressage, and they said, 'I can't work out whether you make the horse do that or the horse does it itself - we just couldn't tell - but it brought tears to our eyes.'
Charlotte Dujardin
-
It is a comely fashion to be glad; Joy is the grace we say to God.
Jean Ingelow
-
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker; lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
Saint Augustine
-
When we intended to enjoy being cruel, we must transform our victim into either a beast or a god.
Orson Scott Card
-
Our God is a forgiving God.
George H. W. Bush
-
Evil, and evil spirits, devils and devil possession, are the outgrowth of man's inadequate consciousness of God. We must avoid thinking of evil as a thing in itself - a force that works against man or, against God, if you will.
Eric Butterworth
-
The Christian is joyful, not because he is blind to injustice and suffering, but because he is convinced that these, in the light of the divine sovereignty, are never ultimate. The Christian can be sad, and often is perplexed, but he is never really worried, because he knows that the purpose of God is to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
D. Elton Trueblood
-
My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?
C. S. Lewis
-
They can keep their God, they can keep their Light. I want the world back. I want questions, not the answer. I want my own life back, and my own death!
Ursula K. Le Guin
-
I want the respect of intelligent men but I will choose for myself the intelligent. I love art but I decide for myself what is art. I adore beauty but only my own soul shall tell me what is beauty. I worship God but I define and describe God for myself. I am an individual. The pleasure of my own heart shall be first to inform me when I have done good work.
Carl Sandburg
