Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.
Hazlitt, William

2.
A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.
Chadwick, Henry

3.
The itch of disputing is the scab of the churches.
Wotton, Sir Henry

4.
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

5.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

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.
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

8.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

9.
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

10.
Archbishop -- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
Mencken, H. L.

11.
Though the church has many critics, it has no rivals.

12.
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

13.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

14.
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

15.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

16.
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Fielding, Henry

17.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

18.
Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
Graham, Billy

19.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

20.
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.

21.
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William

22.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Beecher, Henry Ward

23.
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.

24.
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

25.
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

26.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

27.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

28.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

29.
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

30.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

31.
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.

32.
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

33.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

34.
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

35.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

36.
I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.
Wilder, Billy

37.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

38.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

39.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

40.
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

41.
The problem is not that the churches are filled with empty pews, but that the pews are filled with empty people.
Shedd, Charlie

42.
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

43.
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

44.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

45.
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave--with both ends kicked out.
Havner, Vance

46.
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

47.
I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.
Thomson, James

48.
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

49.
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
Amis, Kingsley

50.
In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
Weil, Simone
