Churches

In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
- Weil, Simone
Churches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Churches

1.
The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
Voltaire

2.
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.

3.
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

4.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Smith, Sydney

5.
People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.
Carey, George

6.
Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?
Shaw, George Bernard

11.
There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
Joyce, James

12.
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

13.
I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.
Carey, George

14.
The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
Mott, John R.

15.
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
Moody, Dwight L.

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

17.
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

18.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
Nash, L. L.

19.
The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.
Forsyth, Peter T.

20.
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

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

22.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
Proverb, French

23.
The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
Pound, Ezra

24.
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

25.
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

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

27.
Too hot to go to Church? What about Hell?
Poster In Dayton, Ohio

28.
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.

29.
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

30.
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

31.
I have no objections to churches so long as they do not interfere with God's work.
Atkinson, Brooks

32.
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave--with both ends kicked out.
Havner, Vance

33.
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.

34.
And of all plagues with which mankind are cursed, ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
Defoe, Daniel

35.
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

36.
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

37.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Allen, Fred A.

38.
This merriment of parsons is mighty offensive.
Johnson, Samuel

39.
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

40.
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.

41.
The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

42.
The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.
Cowper, William

43.
My own mind is my own church.
Paine, Thomas

44.
Church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.
Gaulle, Charles De

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.
Proverb, Irish

48.
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

49.
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
Penn, William

50.
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
