Best Quotes about Christians and christianity

Christian life consists of faith and charity.

Luther, Martin

31.

Bear the Cross cheerfully and it will bear you.

Kempis, Thomas

32.

No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual's individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only.

Jones, Eli Stanley

42.

Here I swear, and as I break my oath may eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity! It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge. Oh, how I wish I were the Antichrist, that it were mine to crush the Demon; to hurl him to his native Hell never to rise again -- I expect to gratify some of this insatiable feeling in Poetry.

Shelley, Percy Bysshe

A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.

Beecher, Henry Ward

44.

Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them -- I can write in letters which make even the blind see.

The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.

Macaulay, Thomas B.
