Churches

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.
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labor, and we will give you work.
O'Casey, Sean

2.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

3.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

4.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

5.
My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

6.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

7.
Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel.
Luther, Martin

8.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

9.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

10.
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone

11.
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

12.
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

13.
I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
Wilder, Billy

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.

17.
A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.
Selden, John

18.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

19.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

20.
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
Ruskin, John

21.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Beecher, Henry Ward

22.
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

23.
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

24.
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Carlyle, Thomas

25.
The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.
Wesley, John

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William

29.
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

30.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

31.
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

32.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

33.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

34.
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.

35.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
Melbourne, Lord

36.
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

37.
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

38.
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

39.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

40.
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

41.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
Fuller, Thomas

42.
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.

43.
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

44.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

45.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

46.
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

47.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

48.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

49.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

50.
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave--with both ends kicked out.
Havner, Vance
