Best Quotes about God

When someone is giving you their theology, their God words, you should listen hard and be very gentle. The time to deliver your God words is when you are asked.

Real Live Preacher

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

While the womanly god demands our veneration, the godlike woman kindles our love; but while we allow ourselves to melt in the celestial loveliness, the celestial self-sufficiency holds us back in awe.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

Mother Teresa

11.

One and God make a majority.

Douglass, Frederick

12.

It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshipped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.

Thoreau, Henry David

13.

There is no God but God.

Koran, The

14.

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

15.

To the excessively fearful the chief characteristic of power is its arbitrariness. Man had to gain enormously in confidence before he could conceive an all-powerful God who obeys his own laws.

Hoffer, Eric

16.

Here is God's purpose -- for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.

Fuller, R. Buckminster

17.

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.

Freud, Sigmund

18.

God must become an activity in our consciousness.

Joel S. Goldsmith

Agathon

25.

I find that doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.

Macdonald, George

26.

To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God's hand, his brain as God's brain, his purpose as God's purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.

Shaw, George Bernard

27.

When we want to know God's will, there are three things which always concur: the inward impulse, the Word of God and the trend of circumstances. Never act until these three things agree.

Meyer, F. B.

Cotvos

29.

If you find yourself further from God than you were yesterday, you can be sure who has moved.

30.

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it. He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

Maistre, Joseph De

31.

I think there's a god and I know it's not me.

Michael J. Fox

32.

The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified.

Updike, John

33.

God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, the helpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos: He will set them above their betters.

Mencken, H. L.

34.

Forsake not God till you find a better master.

Proverb, Scottish

35.

Rimbaud, Arthur

38.

I fear we are not getting rid of God because we still believe in grammar.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

39.

God hath entrusted me with myself.

Epictetus

40.

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.

41.

He does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well, and he does his deed well who does it rather for the common good than for his own will.

Kempis, Thomas

42.

Ramdas, Swami

43.

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

Tozer, A. W.

44.

To honor him whom we have made is far from honoring him that hath made us..

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

45.

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

46.

Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.

Eckhart, Meister

47.

God is subtle, but He is not malicious. I cannot believe that God plays dice with the world.

Einstein, Albert
