God Quotes
-
Self-conscious rejection of the absolute is the best way to resist God; thus illusion, the substance of life, is saved.
Emil Cioran
-
It is, of course, quite true that God will not love you any less, or have less use for you, if you happen to have been born with a very second-rate brain.
C. S. Lewis
-
We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.
Oswald Chambers
-
She was temptable-which, if you believe in an all-powerful God, means God intentionally put temptation into Eve. Which seems like a dirty trick, if you ask me.
John Scalzi
-
God and nature create nothing that does not fulfill a purpose.
Aristotle
-
The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred
C. S. Lewis
-
What sort of God would it be, who only pushed from without.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
I think God does a lot of things in different ways.
Benjamin Watson
-
For one cannot assume that God exists to help people who are too cowardly and too lazy to help themselves and think that God exists only to make up for the weakness of mankind. He does not exist for that purpose. He has always, at all times, blessed only those who were prepared to fight their own battles.
Adolf Hitler
-
I shall not have it judged by any man, not even by any angel. For since I am certain of it, I shall be your judge and even the angels’ judge through this teaching (as St. Paul says 1 Cor. 6:3) so that whoever does not accept my teaching may not be saved - for it is God’s teaching and not mine.
Martin Luther
-
The greatest need of our age and of every age, the greatest need of every human heart, is to know the resources and sufficiency of God.
Albert Benjamin Simpson
-
Modern readers are apt to be shocked at the idea that God should be prepared to kill off large numbers of men in order to provide an object lesson for those who survive. John [in Revelation] is more realistic about the fact of death. All men must die, and the question mark which death sets over their existence is just as great whether they die late or soon, alone or in company, violently or in their beds. Their ultimate destiny is not determined either by the moment or by the manner of their death, as the untimely death of the martyrs should prove, but by the opening of the heavenly books and by the true and just judgments which proceed from the great white throne.
G. B. Caird
-
The absurd is sin without God.
Albert Camus
-
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that, whenever we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation—of loneliness, poverty, and misery, the end and extreme of things—the thought of God comes into one's mind.
Vincent Van Gogh
-
God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
-
I grew up in a family that always believed in God. And I feel like, every morning when you wake up, you have to thank Him just for another day. I do it every day.
Jose Altuve
-
The older I grow and the more I abandon myself to God's will, the less I value intelligence that wants to know and will that wants to do; and as the only element of salvation I recognize faith, which can wait patiently, without asking too many questions.
Umberto Eco
-
I believe that meditation is the highest spiritual practice, the pathway to God.
Alice Coltrane
