God Quotes
-
Free, free! what a glorious ring to the word. Free! the bitter heart-struggle was over. Free! the soul could go out to heaven and to God with no chains to clog its flight or pull it down. Free! the earth wore a brighter look, and the very stars seemed to sing with joy. Yes, free! free by the laws of man and the smile of God-and Heaven bless them who made me so!
Elizabeth Keckley
-
Money is a jealous mistress If you want money you must want only money. ... I must tell you the one secret of life, there is only one: everything is a jealous mistress, everything is terribly possessive, and, by God, we want to be terribly possessed if we want to get somewhere - and we want to be terribly possessed - anyhow; or what is life?
Christina Stead
-
I always knew that someone was going to come at me with a script to play God. It's just one of those things, the way your career is unfolding and all the talk about gravitas etc etc, so I had a strong feeling that someone was going to offer me the part of God. I was totally prepared to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' unless it was a comedy.
Morgan Freeman
-
We unjustly defraud God of his right, unless each of us lives and dies in dependence on His sovereign pleasure.
John Calvin
-
Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life.
Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr.
-
I sped through heaven and saw god at work. I suffered holy pains. I dropped all my defenses and was afraid of nothing in the world. I accepted all things and to all things I gave up my heart.
Hermann Hesse
-
If god does not exist, one loses nothing by believing in him anyway, while if he does exist, one stands to lose everything by not believing.
Blaise Pascal
-
I’m 5-10 and I know it’s not supposed to be this way, but God has blessed me tenfold. I can’t explain it any other way. It’s just a blessing.
Billy Wagner
-
It covetousness is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Thomas Aquinas
-
A friend of mine once said that she didn't believe in coincidence, that it was God working in her life, not a coincidence every time something unexpected worked out.
Barbara Cameron
-
If there is a god, he is not only a wizard at leaving clues behind. More than anything, he's a master of concealment. And the world is not something that gives itself away. The heavens still keep their secrets. There is little gossip amongst the stars. But no one has forgotten the Big Bang yet. Since then, silence has reigned supreme, and every thing there is moving away. One can still come across a moon. Or a comet. Just don't expect friendly greetings. No visiting cards are printed in space.
Jostein Gaarder
-
Trusting God means thinking and acting according to God's word in spite of circumstances, feelings, or consequences.
Warren W. Wiersbe
-
Here is a spiritual principle: We cannot exercise love unless we are experiencing grace. You cannot truly love others unless you are convinced that God's love for you is unconditional, based solely on the merit of Christ, not on your performance. Our love, either to God or to others, can only be a response to His love for us.
Jerry Bridges
-
I was born to stand, fight and when all is done to give God the glory for the victories.
Artur Pawlowski
-
God gave me eyes so that I might see you, and God gave you eyes, so that I might see myself.
Brad Brown
-
See how God ever like with like doth pair, And still the worthless doth the worthless lead!
Homer
-
The first author of speech was God himself, that instructed Adam how to name such creatures as He presented to his sight.
Thomas Hobbes
-
The chief difficulty is that God demands of us that we live by faith: faith in God, God's sovereignty over the future, God's sufficiency for the present; while, on the other hand, the various other gods whom we can serve appeal to us in terms of the things which we can see and the forces which we can calculate. The choice between the life of faith and the life of sight is a choice between a God whom only faith can apprehend and gods whom one has only to see to understand.
Daniel Thambyrajah Niles
-
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
Albert Camus
-
People are hungry for God. What a terrible meeting it would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
Mother Teresa
-
Ef you take a sword an’ dror it,An’ go stick a feller thru,Guv’mint ain’t to answer for it,God’ll send the bill to you.
James Russell Lowell
-
Is it not a thing most abominable, that God who feeds so many mouths, should be held in such low esteem by me, that I will not trust him to feed me? Yea, that a guilder, thirty-eight cents, should be valued more highly than God, who pours out his treasures everywhere in rich profusion. For the world is full of God and his works. He is everywhere present with his gifts, and yet we will not trust in him, nor accept his visitation.
Martin Luther
