Best Quotes about God

Pray as if everything depended upon God and work as if everything depended upon man.

Francis Cardinal Spellman

Some people think that God peers over the balcony of heaven trying to find anybody who is enjoying life. And when He spots a happy person, He yells, Now cut that out! That concept of God should make us shudder because it's blasphemous!

Little, Paul

One and God make a majority.

Douglass, Frederick

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.

The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.

Pilgrim, Peace

27.

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

O'Neill, Eugene

47.

We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up.

I should have thought the worship most pleasing to him was to do your best according to your lights.

W. Somerset Maugham

As you know, God is generally on the side of the big squadrons against the small ones.

Bussy-Rabutin, Comte De

49.

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

50.

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

Albert Einstein
