God Quotes
-
Human excellence means nothing Unless it works with the consent of God.
Euripides
-
My reality is that God speaks to you every day. There's an inner voice, and when you hear it, you get a little tingle in your medulla oblongata at the back of your neck, a little shiver, and at two o'clock in the morning, everything's really quiet and you meditate and you got the candles, you got the incense and you've been chanting, and all of a sudden you hear this voice: Write this down. It is just an inner voice, and you trust it. That voice will never take you to the desert.
Carlos Santana

Prayer is the one thing that can conquer God.
Tertullian
-
We understand God by everything in ourselves that is fragmentary, incomplete, and inopportune.
Emil Cioran
-
If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
Every day of our Christian experience should be a day of relating to God on the basis of His grace alone. We are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day.
Jerry Bridges
-
I have a great respect for the flag, but if the government passed a law saying that I had to pledge allegiance to the flag, I don't think I would do it. I've always felt that I lived in a country...where if I wanted to worship God as a Baptist, I could do so. If I were an atheist, I could be one. If I wanted to be a Catholic but was born a Jew, there's no condemnation...from a government authority.
Jimmy Carter
-
I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else - God is in this person's life. You can - you must - try to seek God in every human life.
Pope Francis
-
It doesn't mean we forget what's been done to us. But we remember that we don't have to understand God, just to trust Him and have faith in Him.
Barbara Cameron
-
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Prayer is a silent surrendering of everything to God.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
C. S. Lewis
-
I treat policies like war. I hoodwink one flank so as to trounce the other. In my family we kneel only to God.
Napoleon Bonaparte
-
Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
C. S. Lewis
-
There is strife between God s ways and human ways; damned by you, we are absolved by God.
Tertullian
-
The heavenly blessing is to be delivered from the law, sin and death; to be justified and quickened to life: to have peace with God; to have a faithful heart, a joyful conscience, a spiritual consolation; to have the knowledge of Jesus Christ; to have the gift of prophecy, and the revelation of the Scriptures; to have the gift of the Holy Ghost, and to rejoice in God.
Martin Luther
-
We say, then, that Scripture clearly proves this much, that God by his eternal and immutable counsel determined once for all those whom it was his pleasure one day to admit to salvation, and those whom, on the other hand, it was his pleasure to doom to destruction. We maintain that this counsel, as regards the elect, is founded on his free mercy, without any respect to human worth, while those whom he dooms to destruction are excluded from access to life by a just and blameless, but at the same time incomprehensible judgment.
John Calvin
-
You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother Teresa
