Motivational Quotes

God

God is concerned with nations, but nations also need to be concerned with God. No nation can have a monopoly on God, but God will bless any nation whose people seek and honor His will as revealed by Christ and declared through the Holy Spirit.

- Haggai, John

Best Quotes about God

To be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of God.

Eckhart, Meister

Give God the margin of eternity to justify himself.

Haweis, H. R.

Newton, John

If triangles made a god, they would give him three sides.

Montesquieu, Charles De

Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.

Eckhart, Meister

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.

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

Joseph Chilton Pearce

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

Pascal, Blaise

15.

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

16.

Angelou, Maya

17.

Proverb, Jewish

19.

Haggai, John

20.

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

21.

I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.

Hollingdale, R. J.

22.

God, that checkroom of our dreams.

Rostand, Jean

God always has another custard pie up his sleeve.

Redgrave, Lynn

saying, Hopi Indian

37.

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

38.

The one thing that a fish can never find is water; and the one thing that man can never find is God.

Butterworth, Eric

39.

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

40.

What preoccupies us, then, is not God as a fact of nature, but as a fabrication useful for a God-fearing society. God himself becomes not a power but an image.

Boorstin, Daniel J.

41.

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

42.

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

43.

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

44.

God has been pleased to prescribe limits to his power and to work out his ends within these limits.

Paley, William

45.

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things.

Picasso, Pablo

46.

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.

47.

The mantram becomes one's staff of life and carries one through every ordeal. Each repetition has a new meaning, carrying you nearer and nearer to God.

Gandhi, Mahatma
