Motivational Quotes
Churches
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.
Best Quotes about Churches
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.
Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
Graham, Billy
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
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.
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
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
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
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.
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
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks
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.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George
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
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.
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.
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
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.
I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
Wilder, Billy
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry
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
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
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave--with both ends kicked out.
Havner, Vance
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
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
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
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish
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
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
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.
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
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel
Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.
Ratzinger, Cardinal Joseph
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.
Luther, Martin
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
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
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley
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
