Best Quotes about God

The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.

Freud, Sigmund

Newton, John

Meyer, F. B.

Haggai, John

13.

God is only a great imaginative experience.

Lawrence, D. H.

Daly, Mary

15.

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.

This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

Maistre, Joseph De

Churchill, Winston

26.

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

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.

I should have thought the worship most pleasing to him was to do your best according to your lights.

W. Somerset Maugham

42.

When I was young, I said to God,god, tell me the mystery of the universe. But God answered,that knowledge is for me alone. So I said,god, tell me the mystery of the peanut. Then God said,well, George, that's more nearly your size.
