Best Quotes about God

God is the name we give our conscience.

Shureih, Nader

Throw away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path.

Herbert, George

Kempis, Thomas

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.

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

11.

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

Paley, William

12.

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

13.

Is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's blunders?

Nietzsche, Friedrich

14.

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

15.

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

Eckhart, Meister

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.

25.

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.

26.

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.

27.

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

28.

The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice--any choice will be the right one.

Tozer, A. W.

29.

God: a disease we imagine we are cured of because no one dies of it nowadays.

Cioran, E. M.

30.

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.

I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.

Sheen, Martin

35.

IÆm searching through all that has ever been hoped, in praise of what can never be known.

Real Live Preacher

36.

I was frustrated out of my mind, trying to figure out the will of God. I was doing everything but getting into the presence of God and asking Him to show me.

Little, Paul

37.

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

38.

Sometimes it seems like God is difficult to find and impossibly far away. We get so caught up in our small daily duties and irritations that they become the only things that we can focus on. What we forget is that God's love and beauty are all around us, every day, if only we would take the time to look up and see them.

Matthias
