Best Quotes about God

If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be spent before the Words of my lord are spent.

Qur'an

If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then without hesitation, that He exists.

Pascal, Blaise

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

Luther, Martin

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.

Carter, Angela

To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them.

Bataille, Georges

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.

Sophy Burnham

To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet. However paltry may have been the stake (my life) I am conscious of having won to the full. Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!

Breton, Andre

If God is male, then male is God. The divine patriarch castrates women as long as he is allowed to live on in the human imagination.

Daly, Mary

It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.

Strawson, Galen

Homer

Steinem, Gloria

26.

A God that can be understood is no God. Who can explain the Infinite in words?

W. Somerset Maugham

27.

I cannot be a materialist -- but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery -- such suffering, such dreadful suffering -- and shall the short years of Christ's mission atone for it all?

Lawrence, D. H.

28.

Among the attributes of God, although they are equal, mercy shines with even more brilliance than justice.

Cervantes, Miguel De

29.

We must accept that this creative pulse within us is God's creative pulse itself.

Joseph Chilton Pearce

30.

In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; Form the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God's being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.

Weil, Simone

31.

If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.

Churchill, Winston

32.

Or perhaps she's just softening me up: she's a Baptist, she'd like me to find Jesus, or vice versa, before it's too late. That kind of thing doesn't run in her family: her mother Reenie never went in much for God. There was mutual respect, and if you were in trouble, naturally you'd call on him, as with lawyers, but as with lawyers, it would have to be bad trouble. Otherwise it didn't pay to get too mixed up with him.

Margaret Atwood

Proverb, Jewish

Butler, Samuel

36.

The most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.

Webster, Daniel

37.

We want God to come and save us. But he wonÆt. God doesnÆt stop levees from failing, he doesnÆt stay the force of tsunamis, and he doesnÆt stop planes from smashing into buildings. Deus Ex Machina is overrated.

Waiter Rant

38.

Two men please God -- who serves Him with all his heart because he knows Him; who seeks Him with all his heart because he knows Him not.

La Bruyere, Jean De

50.

In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass, I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name. And I leave them where they are, for I know that wherever I go, others will punctually come for ever and ever.

Whitman, Walt
