Beecher, Henry Ward

Most of us spend the first six days of each week sowing wild oats; then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure.

Allen, Fred A.

11.

No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual's individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol -- cross or crescent or whatever -- that symbol is man's reminder of his duty inside the human race.

Faulkner, William

A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.

Moody, Dwight L.

17.

There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians. It could therefore easily be possible that people are Christians because true Christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if Christianity did not exist.

Lichtenberg, Georg C.

18.

Scratch the Christian and you find the pagan -- spoiled.

Zangwill, Israel

19.

Is your Christianity ancient history--or current events?

Shoemaker, Samuel M.

20.

The great difference between present-day Christianity and that of which we read in these letters is that to us it is primarily a performance, to them it was a real experience. To these men it is quite plainly the invasion of their lives by a new quality of life altogether. They do not hesitate to describe this as Christ living in them.

Phillips, James

21.

Bear the Cross cheerfully and it will bear you.

Kempis, Thomas

22.

Real Christianity is lovely. There is a quality about a Spirit-filled, radiant Christian that draws and attracts others and causes them to enjoy favor with all the people. The truth is that the gospel is not nearly as offensive as some of its proponents!

Hawkins, O. S.

23.

With two thousand years of Christianity behind him... a man can't see a regiment of soldiers march past without going off the deep end. It starts off far too many ideas in his head.

Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

I am not a Catholic; but I consider the Christian idea, which has its roots in Greek thought and in the course of the centuries has nourished all of our European civilization, as something that one cannot renounce without becoming degraded.

Weil, Simone

Gandhi, Mahatma

26.

Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-thou second-guessing in The New York Review of Books.

Updike, John

27.

It is only when all our Christian ancestors are allowed to become our contemporaries that the real splendor of the Christian faith and the Christian life begins to dawn upon us.

Hough, Lynn Harold

28.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this -- that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made -- not to understand -- but to feel -- as crime.

Poe, Edgar Allan

29.

Protestantism has the method of Jesus with His secret too much left out of mind; Catholicism has His secret with His method too much left out of mind; neither has His unerring balance, His intuition, His sweet reasonableness. But both have hold of a great truth, and get from it a great power.

Arnold, Matthew

30.

Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.

Bonaparte, Napoleon

31.

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

Camus, Albert

Pilgrim, Peace

35.

Regardless of the day or the hour; whether in seeming good times or bad, the Christian lives in the world for the good of the world and for the sake of the world.

Lindsell, Harold

36.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

Graham, Billy

37.

Here I swear, and as I break my oath may eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity! It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge. Oh, how I wish I were the Antichrist, that it were mine to crush the Demon; to hurl him to his native Hell never to rise again -- I expect to gratify some of this insatiable feeling in Poetry.

Shelley, Percy Bysshe

38.

If you make a great deal of Christ, He will make a great deal of you; But it you make but little of Christ, He will make but little of you.

Torrey, R. A.

39.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.

Chesterton, Gilbert K.

40.

Any hope that America would finally grow up vanished with the rise of fundamentalist Christianity. Fundamentalism, with its born-again regression, its pink-and-gold concept of heaven, its literal-mindedness, its rambunctious good cheer... its anti-intellectualism... its puerile hymns... and its faith-healing... are made to order for King Kid America.

King, Florence

41.

He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth, will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.

Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the state, with its haughtiness, its violence, its punishment and its wars.

Tolstoy, Count Leo

47.

The Christianity which is shared is the Christianity which is convincing.

Hough, Lynn Harold

48.

How natural that the errors of the ancient should be handed down and, mixing with the principles and system which Christ taught, give to us an adulterated Christianity.

Penn, William
