Best Quotes about God

Why indeed must God be a noun? Why not a verb -- the most active and dynamic of all.

Daly, Mary

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.

Sophy Burnham

Eckhart, Meister

To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet. However paltry may have been the stake (my life) I am conscious of having won to the full. Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!

Breton, Andre

Man does what he can, God does what he will.

Proverb

11.

EVERY path may lead you to God, even the weird ones. Most of us are on a journey. WeÆre looking for something, though weÆre not always sure what that is. The way is foggy much of the time. I suggest you slow down and follow some of the side roads that appear suddenly in the mist.

Real Live Preacher

Flecker, James Elroy

18.

Sometimes it seems like God is difficult to find and impossibly far away. We get so caught up in our small daily duties and irritations that they become the only things that we can focus on. What we forget is that God's love and beauty are all around us, every day, if only we would take the time to look up and see them.

Matthias

19.

Epictetus

21.

Picasso, Pablo

44.

We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up.
