And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
- Defoe, Daniel
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
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.

2.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

3.
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.

4.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De

8.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

9.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

10.
How can a bishop marry? How can he flirt? The most he can say is I will see you in the vestry after service.
Smith, Sydney

11.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

12.
I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
Wilder, Billy

13.
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.
Wesley, John

14.
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

15.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

16.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

17.
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

18.
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone

19.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

20.
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

21.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

22.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

23.
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

24.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

25.
The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.
Wotton, Sir Henry

26.
A little, round, fat, oily man of God.
Thomson, James

27.
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

28.
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.

29.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

30.
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.

31.
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

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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William

38.
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

39.
It is indolence... Indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.
Austen, Jane

40.
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.

41.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

42.
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

43.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

44.
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

45.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

46.
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.

47.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

48.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

49.
An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches with spire steeples which point as with a silent finger to the sky and stars.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

50.
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
