God Quotes
-
God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.
Herodotus
-
Though, in debating with regard to theories, it be lawful to say whether this or that is consistent with the Divine attributes, yet, when we find that God has actually done any thing, all question about its justice, wisdom, and benevolence, is forever out of place.
Nehemiah Adams
-
The Gospel acts without threats... it teaches us about the supreme goodwill of God towards us.
John Calvin
-
Moreover, a true Christian will not ascribe any prosperity to his own diligence, industry, or good fortune, but he will acknowledge that God is the author of it.
John Calvin
-
I promise you that, with increased attendance in the temples of our God, you shall receive increased personal revelation to bless your life as you bless those who have died.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
For what accords better and more aptly with faith than to acknowledge ourselves divested of all virtue that we may be clothed by God, devoid of all goodness that we may be filled by him, the slaves of sin that he may give us freedom, blind that he may enlighten, lame that he may cure, and feeble that he may sustain us; to strip ourselves of all ground of glorying that he alone may shine forth glorious, and we be glorified in him?
John Calvin
-
The only points in which I differ from all ecclesiastical teaching is that I do not believe that any man ever saw or talked with God, I do not believe that God inspired the Mosaic code, or told the historians what they say he did about woman, for all the religions on the face of the earth degrade her, and so long as woman accepts the position that they assign her, her emancipation is impossible.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
-
It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
From the beginning, God designed a world in which his image bearers - male and female together - were his A-Team for getting things done in the world. It was more than "wouldn't it be nice if men and women could get along better." God knew this was the way his world would work best and we would flourish as he intends. Men and women - together - in an alliance that received God's explicit blessing.
Carolyn Custis James
-
The truth is that man is one individual with two aspects, just like one line with two ends. If you look at the ends, it is two. If you look at the line, it is one. One end of the line is limited, the other end of the line is unlimited. One end is man, the other end is God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Heart of mine has been shattered in a million pieces—but even during the worst of times, I had you. One of God’s tender mercies. Love, Phoenix.
Brenda Novak
-
I don’t think we should give up on ritual. I don’t think we should give up on any possible means of experiencing God.
Brian D. McLaren
-
Whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are put in motion by the first mover; as the staff moves only because it is put in motion by the hand. Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other; and this everyone understands to be God.
Thomas Aquinas
-
I'm almost positive there is no God.
Sarah Silverman
-
I do not believe that God has imposed suffering upon anyone to punish them or to teach them a lesson.
Ernest Holmes
-
Kindness is not a bad religion, no matter what name you use for God.
Barbara Brown Taylor
-
God answered the prayers of animals.
Thomas Aquinas
-
We are born to create, and we can't help it. Why is that? Because God, the great Creator, is in us.
Ernest Holmes
