[highlight-text]Father expected a good deal of God. He didn't actually accuse God of inefficiency but when he prayed his tone was loud and angry like that of a dissatisfied guest in a carelessly managed hotel.
Clarence Day
-
[highlight-text]You find out more about God from the Moral Law than from the univerise in general just as you find out more about a man by listening to his conversation than by looking at a house he has built.
C. S. Lewis
-
[highlight-text]If there is a soul it is a mistake to believe that it is given tous fully created. It is created here throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
-
[highlight-text]From this day forward the millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town every village and rural schoolhouse the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
-
[highlight-text]Our condition is most noble being so beloved of the Most High God that He was willing to die for our sake- which He would not have done if man had not been a most noble creature and of great worth.
Saint Angela of Foligno
-
[highlight-text]I always say my God will take care of me. If it's my time I'll go and if it's not I won't. I feel that He really has a lot of important things for me to do. And He's going to make sure that I'm here to do them.
Joycelyn Elders
-
[highlight-text]To them that ask where have you seen the Gods or how do you know for certain there are Gods that you are so devout in their worship? I answer: Neither have I ever seen my own soul and yet I respect and honor it.
Marcus Aurelius
-
[highlight-text]We are commanded to love God with all our minds as well as with all our hearts and we commit a great sin if we forbid or prevent that cultivation of the mind in others which would enable them to perform this duty.
Angelina Grimke
-
[highlight-text]Eventually I lost interest in trying to control my life to make things happen in a way that I thought I wanted them to be. I began to practice surrendering to the universe and finding out what 'it' wanted me to do.
Shakti Gawain
-
[highlight-text]It is very easy to tell the difference between man-made and God-made objects. The more you magnify man-made objects the cruder they look but the more you magnify God-made objects the more precise and intricate they appear.
Luther Sutherland
-
[highlight-text]God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance renewed daily of a wonder the source of which is beyond all reason.
Dag Hammarskjold
-
[highlight-text]The accidents of life separate us from our dearest friends but let us not despair. God is like a looking glass in which souls see each other. The more we are united to Him by love the nearer we are to those who belong to Him.
Elizabeth Ann Seton
-
[highlight-text]I wouldn't put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if he wanted to but I very much doubt if he would because it seems to be contrary to the way in which he deals with persons and brings his wonders out of natural personal relationships.
David Jenkins
-
[highlight-text]God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts; who best Bear His mild yoke they serve Him best; His state Is kingly; thousands at His bidding speed And post o'er land and ocean without rest - They also serve who only stand and wait.
John Milton
-
[highlight-text]I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life I hope I may be prepared to give it.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
[highlight-text]If the whole universe has no meaning we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C. S. Lewis
-
[highlight-text]Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow and to love Him as they love their cow-for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort.
Meister Eckhart
-
[highlight-text]Above all am I convinced of the need irrevocable and inescapable of every human heart for God. No matter how we try to escape to lose ourselves in restless seeking we cannot separate ourselves from our divine source. There is no substitute for God.
A. J. Cronin
-
[highlight-text]Fhe Creator and Lord of all so loved the world that He sent His Son for its salvation the Prince and Savior of the faithful who washed and dried our wounds and from Him also came that most sweet medicine from which all the good things of salvation flow.
Hildegard of Bingen
-
[highlight-text]I have lived Sir a long time and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- that God Governs the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?
Benjamin Franklin
-
[highlight-text]We need to find God and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -- trees flowers grass -- grows in silence; see the stars the moon and the sun how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
-
[highlight-text]In the faces of men and women I see God and in my own face in the glass I find letters from God dropt in the street and every one is signed by God's name and I leave them where they are for I know that wheresoever I go others will punctually come for ever and ever.
Walt Whitman
-
[highlight-text]The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
-
[highlight-text]As to the aridity you are suffering from it seems to me our Lord is treating you like someone He considers strong: He wants to test you and see if you love Him as much at times of aridity as when He sends you consolations. I think this is a very great favor for God to show you.
Teresa of Avila
-
[highlight-text]What is there in man so worthy of honor and reverence as this that he is capable of contemplating something higher than his own reason more sublime than the whole universe- that Spirit which alone is self-subsis-tent from which all truth proceeds without which there is no truth?
Friedrich Jacobi
-
[highlight-text]But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Abraham Lincoln
-
[highlight-text]I never cared but for one thing and that is simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment this day doing the things God requires of my hands and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.
Brigham Young
-
[highlight-text]For the multitude of worldly friends profiteth not nor may strong helpers anything avail nor wise counselors give profitable counsel nor the cunning of doctors give consolation nor riches deliver in time of need nor a secret place to defend if Thou Lord do not assist help comfort counsel inform and defend.
Thomas a Kempis
-
[highlight-text]God has not promised skies always blue flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God has not promised sun without rain joy without sorrow peace without pain. But God has promised strength for the day rest for the labor light for the way Grace for the trials help from above unfailing sympathy undying love.
Annie Johnson Flint
-
[highlight-text]Deep down in every man woman and child is the fundamental idea of God. It may be obscured by calamity by pomp by worship of other things but in some form or other it is there. For faith in a Power greater than ourselves and miraculous demonstrations of that power in human lives are facts as old as man himself.
Alcoholics Anonymous
-
[highlight-text]You are accepted! ... accepted by that which is greater than you and the name of which you do not know. Do not ask the name now perhaps you will know it later. Do not try to do anything perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for anything do not perform anything do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted.
Paul Tillich
-
[highlight-text]We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea because we have heard it and because our faith tells us so that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls or who dwells within them or how precious they are those are things which we seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.
Teresa of Avila
