Churches

If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they'd realize that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.
- O'Casey, Sean
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
Mass ought to be in Latin, unless you could do it in Greek or Chinese. In fact, any abracadabra that no bloody member of the public or half-educated ape of a clargimint could think he understood.
Pound, Ezra

2.
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Havner, Vance

3.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

4.
A group touring Westminster Abbey in London heard the guide list the famous people buried within its walls. During a momentary silence a little old lady's voice blurted out loud and clear, Anybody been saved here lately?

5.
A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
Mencken, H. L.

6.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

7.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

8.
The church exists to train its member through the practice of the presence of God to be servants of others, to the end that Christlikeness may become common property.
Brown, William Adams

9.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

10.
I never weary of great churches. It is my favorite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

11.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

12.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

13.
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded; it is supposed to be one-pointed -- a compass, not a weathercock.
Huxley, Aldous

14.
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William

15.
If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they'd realize that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.
O'Casey, Sean

16.
A woman's asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person's demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan.
Daly, Mary

17.
The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.
Moody, Dwight L.

18.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

19.
A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.
Hazlitt, William

20.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

21.
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
Tozer, A. W.

22.
The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.
Wotton, Sir Henry

23.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

24.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

25.
What makes a church great in the eyes of God? Participation, proclamation, preservation, and propagation. Every church ought to exhibit all four.
Hawkins, O. S.

26.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

27.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

28.
She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.
Walker, Alice

29.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

30.
What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say I know instead of I am learning, and pray for credulity and inertia as wise men pray for skepticism and activity.
Shaw, George Bernard

31.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

32.
The root of almost every schism and heresy from which the Christian Church has suffered, has been because of the effort of men to earn, rather than receive their salvation; and the reason preaching is so commonly ineffective is, that it often calls on people to work for God rather than letting God work through them.
Ruskin, John

33.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

34.
Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.
Norman, Edward

35.
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

36.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
Fuller, Thomas

37.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.

38.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

39.
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
Havner, Vance

40.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

41.
A little, round, fat, oily man of God.
Thomson, James

42.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

43.
The priesthood in many ways is the ultimate closet in Western civilization, where gay people particularly have hidden for the past two thousand years.
Spong, John

44.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

45.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Beecher, Henry Ward

46.
His creed no parson ever knew, for this was still his simple plan, to have with clergymen to do as little as a Christian can.
Doyle, Sir Francis

47.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

48.
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.
Wesley, John

49.
The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.
John Paul II

50.
Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.
Calvin, John
