God Quotes
-
The knowledge of the omnipresence of God also means respect for the lives even of those who may be called opponents.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Only so you can appeal to your God and pray Him to support and bless your courage, your work, your perseverance, your strength, your resolution, and with all these your claim on life.
Adolf Hitler
-
Honesty is of God and dishonesty of the devil; the devil was a liar from the beginning.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
-
I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. It is no bread and butter of mine; every man for himself, and God for us all.
Miguel de Cervantes
-
I am convinced that when we bring our griefs and sorrows within the story of God's own grief and sorrow, and allow them to be held there, God is able to bring healing to us and new possibilities to our lives. That is, of course, what Good Friday and Easter are all about.
N. T. Wright
-
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Mother Teresa
-
Because I love My Father, I do always the things that are pleasing to Him." Thus spoke our holy Master, and every soul who wants to live close to Him must also live this maxim. The divine good pleasure must be its food, its daily bread; it must let itself be immolated by all the Father’s wishes in the likeness of His adored Christ. Each incident, each event, each suffering, as well as each joy, is a sacrament which gives God to it; so it no longer makes a distinction between these things; it surmounts them, goes beyond them to rest in its Master, above all things.
Elizabeth of the Trinity
-
What a comfort to know that God is a poet.
Rachel Grace Held
-
Seemeth it nothing to you, never to accuse, never to blame either God or Man? to wear ever the same countenance in going forth as in coming in? This was the secret of Socrates: yet he never said that he knew or taught anything... Who amongst you makes this his aim? Were it indeed so, you would gladly endure sickness, hunger, aye, death itself. (85).
Epictetus
-
Love is the only future God offers.
Victor Hugo
-
There are two kinds of love: we love wise and kind and beautiful people because we need them, but we love (or try to love) stupid and disagreeable people because they need us. This second kind is the more divine because that is how God loves us: not because we are lovable but because He is love, not because He needs to receive but He delights to give.
C. S. Lewis
-
Our culture says ‘live your dream,’ but God calls you to place your dream on His altar and to keep it there at all times. It is good to have hopes and dreams for the future, but we have no rights. There are no certainties. Any dream can become an idol and, if it does, God will bring it down.
Colin S. Smith
-
What has always puzzled me is the flexibility of God's word. For instance, Catholics can now eat meat on Fridays. And limbo has been abolished. How does this work? Who tells them?
Simon Hoggart
-
The things which must be, must be for the best, God helps us do our duty and not shrink, And trust His mercy humbly for the rest.
Bill Vaughan
-
My way hither was the way of destiny; for I am he of whose genius you are the symbol: part brute, part woman, and part God - nothing of man in me at all. Have I read your riddle, Sphinx?
George Bernard Shaw
-
No greater mischief can happen to a Christian people, than to have God's word taken from them, or falsified, so that they no longer have it pure and clear. God grant we and our descendants be not witness to such a calamity.
Martin Luther
-
Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
Saint Augustine
-
And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he's no longer God... They'll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.
John Lennon
The Beatles
