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

Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

2.
The Christian church is a society of sinners. It is the only society in the world, membership in which is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership.
Morrison, Charles C.

3.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

4.
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.

5.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

6.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

7.
Those who marry God can become domesticated too -- it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word Love means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and Ave Marialike dearest is a phrase to open a letter. This marriage like the world's marriages was held together by habits and tastes shared in common between God and themselves -- it was God's taste to be worshipped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.
Greene, Graham

8.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

9.
The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
Murdoch, Iris

10.
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

11.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

12.
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.

13.
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.

14.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

15.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De

16.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

17.
The Church cannot be content to live in its stained-glass house and throw stones through the picture window of modern culture.
Brown, Robert Mcafee

18.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

19.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Beecher, Henry Ward

20.
It's about time we quit playing church in these services that start at eleven o clock sharp and end at twelve o clock dull.
Havner, Vance

21.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

22.
I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
Swift, Jonathan

23.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

24.
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William

25.
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
King Jr. Martin Luther

26.
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.
Luther, Martin

27.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

28.
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

29.
The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

30.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

31.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

32.
I'm a priest, not a priestess. Priestess implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world -- it's better than being invisible.
Heyward, Carter

33.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

34.
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

35.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

36.
We praise Him, we bless Him, we adore Him, we glorify Him, and we wonder who is that baritone across the aisle and that pretty woman on our right who smells of apple blossoms. Our bowels stir and our cod itches and we amend our prayers for the spiritual life with the hope that it will not be too spiritual.
Cheever, John

37.
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

38.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

39.
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

40.
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William

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

42.
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

43.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

44.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

45.
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

46.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

47.
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

48.
My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

49.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

50.
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
