Motivational Quotes

God

I would not like to see a person who is sober, moderate, chaste and just say that there is no God. They would speak disinterestedly at least, but such a person is not to be found.

- La Bruyere, Jean De

Best Quotes about God

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee and I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.

Frost, Robert

God is infinite and without end, but the soul's desire is an abyss which cannot be filled except by a Good which is infinite; and the more ardently the soul longeth after God, the more she wills to long after him; for God is a Good without drawback, and a well of living water without bottom, and the soul is made in the image of God, and therefore it is created to know and love God.

Tauler, Johannes

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

Give God the margin of eternity to justify himself.

Haweis, H. R.

What I believe about God is the most important thing about me.

Tozer, A. W.

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

God, that checkroom of our dreams.

Rostand, Jean

John of the Cross, St.

11.

Those who set out to serve both God and Mammon soon discover that there isn't a God.

Smith, Logan Pearsall

12.

If we really think about it, God exists for any single individual who puts his trust in Him, not for the whole of humanity, with its laws, its organizations, and its violence. Humanity is the demon which God does not succeed in destroying.

Satta, Salvatore

13.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

Layton, Irving

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.

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

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

Bonhoeffer, Dietrich

22.

I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.

Burroughs, William S.

23.

Man proposes, but God disposes.

Kempis, Thomas

24.

If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.

Ziglar, Zig

Sheen, Martin

26.

God always has another custard pie up his sleeve.

Redgrave, Lynn

37.

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

38.

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

39.

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

40.

Forsake not God till you find a better master.

Proverb, Scottish

Gandhi, Mahatma

45.

Though God's attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice.

Cervantes, Miguel De

46.

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

47.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?

Tozer, A. W.

48.

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. It was hard for me to believe that God thought much of a man who tried to wangle salvation by fulsome flattery. I should have thought the worship most pleasing to him was to do your best according to your lights.

W. Somerset Maugham

49.

One and God make a majority.

Douglass, Frederick
