Best Quotes about God

You can't be angry with God and not believe in him at the same time.

Sara B. Cooper

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

Cioran, E. M.

14.

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.

15.

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

16.

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that he is so.

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

25.

It is fear that first brought gods into the world.

Petronius

26.

The grace of God is a wind which is always blowing.

Ramakrishna, Sri

27.

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

28.

God gets you to the plate, but once your there your on your own.

Williams, Ted

29.

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

30.

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

Eckhart, Meister

The gods, likening themselves to all kinds of strangers, go in various disguises from city to city, observing the wrongdoing and the righteousness of men.

Homer

32.

All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.

Chuck Palahniuk

33.

How do you define God? Like this. A God I could understand, at least potentially, was infinitely more interesting and relevant than one that defied comprehension.

Robert J. Sawyer

34.

I rarely speak about God. To God, yes. I protest against Him. I shout at Him. But to open a discourse about the qualities of God, about the problems that God imposes, theodicy, no. And yet He is there, in silence, in filigree.

Wiesel, Elie

35.

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.

36.

If someone were to prove to me -- right this minute -- that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn't change a single aspect of my behavior.

Bunuel, Luis

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.

God, that checkroom of our dreams.

Rostand, Jean

39.

There is in general good reason to suppose that in several respects the gods could all benefit from instruction by us human beings. We humans are -- more humane.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

40.

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

41.

Has it ever struck you that the vast majority of the will of God for your life has already been revealed in the Bible? That is a crucial thing to grasp.

Little, Paul

42.

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

43.

And again: No more gods! no more gods! Man is King, Man is God! -- But the great Faith is Love!

Rimbaud, Arthur

44.

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

45.

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers.

Brenda Ueland

46.

No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.

Minor White

47.

I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.

Angelou, Maya

48.

God is not dead but alive and well and working on a much less ambitious project.

49.

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

50.

Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.

Maclaren, Alexander
