Best Quotes about God

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

God is indeed dead. He died of self-horror when He saw the creature He had made in His own image.

Layton, Irving

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

Sheen, Martin

12.

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

Cioran, E. M.

15.

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

When I was young, I said to God,god, tell me the mystery of the universe. But God answered,that knowledge is for me alone. So I said,god, tell me the mystery of the peanut. Then God said,well, George, that's more nearly your size.

Otherwise it didn't pay to get too mixed up with him.

Margaret Atwood

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

God is the name we give our conscience.

Shureih, Nader
