GOD QUOTES

quotations about God

God quote

God is our native air. The godless soul gasps out a feeble life in a vacuum. "I will not leave you orphans," saith Christ; "I will come to you." Yet, despite this promise, how many orphaned Christians there are. They are not exactly fatherless. They have a memory of a father in the dim past. They have a hope of a Father in the far future. But now they live without him. They are like travelers in a long and gloomy tunnel. They look back to the days of the patriarchs and prophets. There is light there. They look forward to the revelations of the future life. There is light there. But here and now it is dark.

LYMAN ABBOTT

Old Testament Shadows of New Testament Truths

Tags: Lyman Abbott


Without God, our existence has no support, our life no aim, our improvements no permanence, our best labors no sure and enduring results, our spiritual weakness no power to lean upon, and our noblest aspirations and desires no pledge of being realized in a better state. Struggling virtue has no friend, suffering virtue no promise of victory. Take away God, and life becomes mean, and man poorer than the brute.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

JOHN LENNON

God

Tags: John Lennon


The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred -- like the Moon seen through a dirty telescope. That is why horrible nations have horrible religions: they have been looking at God through a dirty lens.

Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

The only difference between you and God is that you have forgotten you are divine.

DAN BROWN

At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.

God don't make no mistakes, that's how He got to be God.

ARCHIE BUNKER

All in the Family


Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries,
And daub their natural faces unaware.

To believe in a God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter.

LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN

Notebooks, Jul. 8, 1916


Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.

God isn't dead. He's just getting a second opinion.

I don't know much, but I understand how entirely doomed I am without God.

We worship God best when we resemble him most.

BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE

Moral and Religious Aphorisms


If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.

HARUKI MURAKAMI

Kafka on the Shore


We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children.

MUHAMMAD ALI

Without the assistance of that Divine Being ... I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.

After 9/11, there were a lot of things being said about how the God of Islam and the God of the Christian faith were one and the same, but that's simply not true ... The God that I worship does not require me to kill other people. The God that I worship tells me I am to love my enemy, to give him food when he's hungry and water when he's thirsty.

I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?

The promises of God are samples of what is promised; as a handful of wheat is of the barn.
