Chris KyleIt was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war.

David A. BednarSometimes we may ask God for success, and He gives us physical and mental stamina.

Philip YanceyWhat I see in the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms, which is a book of gratitude for the created world, is a recognition that all good things on Earth are God's, every good gift is from above.

Bobby DarinAny fool knows that bravado is always a cover-up for insecurity. That's the truth. And on that note, I'll say goodnight. God love you.101
Cheryl HinesIt is weird. People will say, 'Oh my God, I love you.' And I'll say, 'Oh, that's so sweet. Thank you.' And the people who are walking around with me for the first time will say, 'I don't understand what happened. Somebody just told you they love you. I don't even understand what that means.'101
Corbin BernsenWhen you walk away from God, and you walk away from Christ, you're basically uprooting the very foundations of being. So I don't think there is an easy way to do that. Even for the guy who becomes an atheist out of it, it's messy. It ain't pretty.101
David BrainerdI have withstood the power of convictions a long time; and therefore I fear I shall be finally left of God.101
Donald MillerOne of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?101

Guy OsearyDidn't Lionel Richie just make a country album? No one is giving him a hard time... and God bless him - I love Lionel and should be able to do what he wants to do, like Madonna should, too. Both are having success and I applaud them. If you don't like it, don't buy it. The ageism criticism is getting old.101
Hayden PanettiereYou go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.101
Jacques CartierI am inclined to believe that this is the land God gave to Cain.101
James AltucherYour competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.101
James BrownI just thank God for all of the blessings. 101

Jim ElliotGod always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him. 101

Josiah Gilbert HollandGod gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest.101
Josie LorenGod has blessed me with an amazing family, friends and work colleagues that have been my joy, my support, and my sanity. I don't know what I'd do without them.101
Lauren GrahamAll my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!101
Lionel HamptonSeemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God.101
Lucy HaleThe acting part of me is not me. The music side is who I really am and what I want to talk about. It'll be hard for people to differentiate those different sides but I think it's possible. Once the music is out there, people will start to realize how serious I am about it rather than, 'Oh god, another actress making an album.'101
Luke ScottWe all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don't have to agree with one another on our opinions. Everyone in my circle, that I run around with, we all feel the same about God, country, integrity and character.101
Monica JohnsonThrough prayer, fasting, and studying, God will answer.101
Nicolas MalebrancheWe are made to know and love God.101
Nigel ColeAmongst my friends, I am known as the most cynical person they know - I'm incredibly cynical. I don't believe in God, I don't believe in the supernatural, I don't believe in anything! And I'm terribly cynical, and somehow or other, all three of my films and much of my television work has been rather sentimental, and 'heartwarming'.101
Salmon P. ChaseAnd upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of all mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God.101
Sharon GlessI'm not here to put down men, God love them and I'm married to one, but I do think they are more shallow.101
Sherri ShepherdI believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and rose again, and that's my belief. I still don't know what 'Christian' means. I'm a follower of Christ, but I keep making a whole bunch of mistakes. And I thank God for forgiveness.101
Sonam KapoorI feel I am lucky. I am grateful for this life that God has given me. I am happy, as I am getting to do work that I want to do and enjoy doing it.101
Adam DeVineWhat happened to me is I gained a little weight so I could be more accessible to people. They're not like, 'Oh my God, he's, like, a male model comedian; yuck, ugh.' It's like, 'Oh, he's a little squishy; He's like me. He's accessible.' And girls are like, 'Look how cuddly he is. I just want to cuddle up in his neck fat and go to sleep.'101
Allyson FelixThe most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.101
Andrew GreeleyWell, religion has been passed down through the years by stories people tell around the campfire. Stories about God, stories about love. Stories about good spirits and evil spirits.101
Ashton ShepherdI'm thankful to God for having a family that's been there for me. He's been there from the time I was a child to even now with my family helping with my little boy. It's worth more than words could ever describe. That's one of the ways I've been able to stay grounded is thanks to family and God.101
Barbara MandrellBy our Heavenly Father and only because of God, only because of God. We're like other couples. We do not get along perfectly; we do not go without arguments and, as I call them, fights, and heartache and pain and hurting each other. But a marriage is three of us.101
Betty FordIt's always been my feeling that God lends you your children until they're about eighteen years old. If you haven't made your points with them by then, it's too late.101
Carry NationI felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five saloons with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.101
Chantal SutherlandSo many times, people told me I can't do this or can't do that. My nature is that I don't listen very well. I'm very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don't let anything stand in my way.101
Charles MorganThere is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.101
Donald DriverGod has blessed me to be where I'm at today. All the trials and tribulations I faced throughout my career and life. Look at where I'm at now, I'm the all-time Packers leading receiver of that franchise. That tells you a lot.101
Ernest RutherfordOf all created comforts, God is the lender; you are the borrower, not the owner.101
Franz WerfelReligion is the everlasting dialogue between humanity and God. Art is its soliloquy.101
Gloria TreviSometimes God writes straightforward in twisted lines.101
Jan KaronThis is a gift that God has given me. I'm not smart enough to write for everybody, but it's the love in these books that comes from Him and goes out to my reading audience. I'm forever grateful for that. It's a privilege.101
John PiperDarkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.101
Joseph ButlerGod Almighty is, to be sure, unmoved by passion or appetite, unchanged by affection; but then it is to be added that He neither sees nor hears nor perceives things by any senses like ours; but in a manner infinitely more perfect.101
Luke FordThe Seventh Day Adventist Church believes that it was specially chosen by God to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Son Jesus.101
Moses MendelssohnA God is thinkable, therefore a God is also actually present.101
Neal A. MaxwellGod does not begin by asking our ability, only our availability, and if we prove our dependability, He will increase our capability.101
Richard DoolingThe most interesting character to me is someone who is stuck in the no man's land between Belief and Unbelief, Faith and Faithlessness. I'm capitalizing like a German, but it doesn't matter whether it's faith in a person or in God, or belief in science or whatever, it's the desperate in-between state that makes for interesting dramatic tension.101
Roger WilliamsNo man ever did, nor ever shall, truly go forth to convert the nations, nor to prophesy in the present state of witnesses against Antichrist, but by the gracious inspiration and instigation of the Holy Spirit of God.101
Thomas GoodwinWe have the promise of God's being our God, and of the blessing by Christ for ourselves, as we are Abraham's seed, yet take the whole promise collectively made to him and us.101

Alberta HunterPut your faith in God and confidence in yourself.101
Alija IzetbegovicI believe that the people, instead of pretty lies, should be told the truth, no matter how ugly it may be. What can we do, destiny hasn't been kind to us; but, with the help of God, we will prevail.101
Andrae CrouchI was at a picnic, and there were a lot of songwriters. I remember praying, 'God I wish you would give me a song.' About five minutes later, my ears popped, and I saw everybody in slow motion. Nobody knew what I was experiencing.101
Cardinal RichelieuWar is one of the scourges with which it has pleased God to afflict men.101
Charles A. BeardAll the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.101
Christopher LovePray in your family daily, that yours may be in the number of the families who call upon God.101
Cote de PabloI've seen the majestic beauty of nature and the overwhelming perfection of it. To me, there's nothing closer to God than that.101
George BalanchineGod creates, I do not create. I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it - from what I see, from what the dancers can do, from what others do.101
Gloria GaitherEverything is a part of what God's up to in your life, so I think our job is to embrace it. Everything. Embrace it all and consider it God's will for this moment.101
Harold E. HughesI know no words of prayer - God help me because I can not help myself.101
Monica Denise BrownI am a firm believer that God has already ordered the things that have taken place in my life... and I'm just learning to follow the path he's laid before me.101

Solomon BurkeThe secret was to just be cool, stay in God's graces, and work it out.101
Stockwell DayAs all human beings are, in my view, creatures of God's design, we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions, but indeed I respect them as human beings.101
Thomas SydenhamAmong the remedies which it has pleased Almighty God to give to man to relieve his sufferings, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium.101

Alphonsus LiguoriAssuredly, Loving Souls, you should go to God with all humility and respect, humbling yourselves in His presence, especially when you remember your past ingratitude and sins.101
Andy TaylorYou can't do some of the things you used to do. I suppose you have to go at a gentler pace. I mean, God help us, you can't sit at home being a Vicar or anything.101
Garrett FortGod will not damn a lunatic's soul. He knows that the powers of evil are too great for those of us with weak minds.101
Gene KrupaWhen I speak of natural drummers I'm talking about guys that are playing with the talent God gave 'em.101
Jane GreyI ground my faith upon God's word, and not upon the church.101
Jay GriffithsCultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin. But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence.101
John BoyegaI remember my manager telling me, 'Be myself, be humble, keep rooted, keep God first'. Those words were very helpful.101
John the ApostleIf a man say, 'I love God,' and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.101
Lemn SissayMy foster parents were very religious. They told me that they had not decided to take me in, rather that it was God that had decided it for them.101
Leslie StephenIf atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt.101
Mary DalyWhy indeed must 'God' be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all.101
Mohsen MakhmalbafRumi, who is one of the greatest Persian poets, said that the truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.101
Mojo NixonI can't understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate, to fear God that's not religion, that's not helping humanity, that's organizing an army to defeat somebody.101
Thomas BrooksGod hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.101
Thomas HearnsI prayed, thanking God, for making it all possible for me, because I knew where I came from.101
Thomas KenPraise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!101

C. J. MahaneyThe presence of any humility in my life is purely and completely an evidence of God's grace. From my perspective, I am not a humble man. I am a proud man pursuing humility by the grace of God.101
Dave CheckettsSome people who know me might say, 'He's not a great example of a nice person; he's a malicious, tough and ruthless guy.' But when the day is done, as long as I've held to my values and been true to my family and my God, it won't matter what anyone else thinks.101
Jessica HahnI believe in God, because he is the only thing that kept me going. He's my best friend.101
Marguerite DurasAlcohol doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.101
Mohamed Al-FayedThe most important thing is God's blessing and if you believe in God and you believe in yourself, you have nothing to worry about.101
Russell M. NelsonA covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.101
Richard FosterLeadership is an act of submission to God. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and situations. Out of that listening, we are hoping to discern the mind of God as best we can. This is the price of leadership - it's an act of sacrifice. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God.101
Thomas R. KellyWe have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace.101
Alvin DarkEvery player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living.101
Anthea TurnerKnowing that you're the one who's been rejected, God it makes you feel isolated. I defy anybody not to be a bit upset. I felt as though I'd walked into the house trailing all this baggage.101
Archibald AlexanderBut however long you may have continued in rebellion, and how ever black and long the catalog of your sins, yet if you will now turn to God by a sincere repentance, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall not be cast out.101
Cedric HardwickeI believe that God felt sorry for actors so he created Hollywood to give them a place in the sun and a swimming pool. The price they had to pay was to surrender their talent.101
Charles L. AllenWhen you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.101
David JeremiahThe Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.101
John Nelson DarbyThe Reformation did not directly touch the question of the true character of God's church.101
John Philpot CurranThe condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance.101
Matthew ScullyAn environmentalist can oppose factory farming because it's reckless stewardship. A conservative can oppose factory farming because it is destructive to small farmers and to the decent ethic of husbandry those farmers live by. A religious person can oppose factory farming because it is degrading to both man and animal - an offense to God.101
Alfred JarryGod is the tangential point between zero and infinity. 101
Alfred KorzybskiGod may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won't.101
Arthur PeacockeGod is creating at every moment of the world's existence in and through the perpetually endowed creativity of the very stuff of the world.101
Jupiter HammonThe Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is.101
Amanda BordenGymnastics, for me, gave me a lot of self-pride: that drive to want to be great at something for myself. But it also gave me a sense of appreciation toward God. Now that I'm getting older, I really appreciate the talents God gave me. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.101
Arthur YoungGod sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.101
Jayson WilliamsI give God all the glory. And try to move on. Come home and hug my wife and my children. And thank God for every day that I have with my family.101
Julia Ward HoweGod forgive me if I do wrong in following with ardor the strongest instincts of my nature.101
John JewelBut the law of God came from heaven indeed. God wrote it with his finger, it is the fountain of all wisdom, and therefore shall it continue for ever, and never have an end.101
Jane WagnerWhen we talk to God, we're praying. When God talks to us, we're schizophrenic.101
Jud WilhiteWe have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. So when we are in the mess, remember Jesus made it right. We got to hang on to that by faith.101
James Prescott JouleAfter the knowledge of, and obedience to, the will of God, the next aim must be to know something of His attributes of wisdom, power, and goodness as evidenced by His handiwork.101
e. e. cummingsI thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.102
Florence NightingaleIf I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.102
Jesus ChristDo not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 102
Nicki MinajPeople face difficulties, no matter who you are. I faced difficulties with a lot of things. I face opposition every day, but I didn't kill myself and now, thank God, I'm here.102
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinSomeday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.102
Saint Teresa of AvilaMental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.102
Soren KierkegaardPrayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. 102
Swami VivekanandaYou cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself. 102
Walt WhitmanI am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best. 102
Joel OsteenChristmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God's perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.102
Mike PenceUh, do I believe in evolution? I embrace the view that God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that's in them. The means that he used to do that, I can't say, but I do believe in that fundamental truth.102
Ravi ZachariasWhen you find your definitions in God, you find the very purpose for which you were created. Put your hand into God's hand, know His absolutes, demonstrate His love, present His truth, and the message of redemption and transformation will take hold.102
Abu BakrHe who builds a masjid in the way of Allah, God will build a house for him in the paradise.102
AnaxagorasEverything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock.102
Anne RiceI know nothing of God or the Devil. I have never seen a vision nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul.102
Bernie SiegelGod wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.102
Bill McCartneyWhen you're born again, your DNA changes. You have the ability to understand God's terms.102
Brandy NorwoodI have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.102
Brennan ManningSuffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.102
Dwight L. MoodyGod never made a promise that was too good to be true.102
Edith SteinIn order to be an image of God, the spirit must turn to what is eternal, hold it in spirit, keep it in memory, and by loving it, embrace it in the will.102
Edward YoungThe course of Nature is the art of God.102
F. Sionil JoseWhen I wake up every morning, I thank God for the new day.102
Feisal Abdul RaufThe fundamental idea which defines a human being as a Muslim is the declaration of faith: that there is a creator, whom we call God - or Allah, in Arabic - and that the creator is one and single. And we declare this faith by the declaration of faith, where we... bear witness that there is no God but God.102
Gabby DouglasMy mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'102
Garth BrooksSome of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.102
George MullerIf you believe indeed in the Lord Jesus for the salvation of your soul, if you walk uprightly and do not regard iniquity in your heart, if you continue to wait patiently, and believingly upon God; then answers will surely be given to your prayers.102
GeronimoI cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun, the darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have to say.102
Hans Urs von BalthasarThe Christian response is contained in these two fundamental dogmas: that of the Trinity and that of the Incarnation. In the trinitarian dogma God is one, good, true, and beautiful because he is essentially Love, and Love supposes the one, the other, and their unity.102
Henry B. EyringThe Lord protects, guides, and watches over those who are His trusted friends in His work. His work and that of His Father and our Father is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of the children of God. And Satan, the enemy of our happiness, opposes those who serve the Lord.102
Isaac BarrowThat men should live honestly, quietly, and comfortably together, it is needful that they should live under a sense of God's will, and in awe of the divine power, hoping to please God, and fearing to offend Him, by their behaviour respectively.102
Jack KevorkianAnytime you interfere with a natural process, you're playing God. God determines what happens naturally. That means when a person's ill, he shouldn't go to a doctor because he's asking for interference with God's will. But of course, patients can't think that way.102
Joan of ArcI would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will.102
John CalvinFor there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.102
Karl BarthLaughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.102
Kelly ClarksonGod will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress. 102
King James II can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman.102
King SolomonStart with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.102
Lawrence WelkNever trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God. 102
Lex LugerI was trying to be 27 at age 47, but God had to get rid of my vanity. I had trouble letting go of the old Lex physically. My human fleshly nature didn't want to let go of what had come to be billed as 'The Total Package.' I guess God had to help me get rid of the last remnant of that vanity and pride.102
Loretta LynnI wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.102
Lorraine HansberrySeems like God don't see fit to give the black man nothing but dreams - but He did give us children to make them dreams seem worthwhile.102
Malcolm MuggeridgeEvery happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.102
Mary J. BligeYou can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.102
Max LucadoA season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.102
Millard FillmoreGod knows I detest slavery but it is an existing evil, and we must endure it and give it such protection as is guaranteed by the Constitution.102
Myles MunroeIt is my conviction that marriage is such a good idea, only God could have thought of it.102
N. T. WrightThe whole point of the kingdom of God is Jesus has come to bear witness to the true truth, which is nonviolent. When God wants to take charge of the world, he doesn't send in the tanks. He sends in the poor and the meek.102
Nick RahallAs a people of faith, we know that prayer is a powerful instrument. And as one Nation under God, we know that many times our most powerful tool is prayer.102
Olivier MessiaenMy faith is the grand drama of my life. I'm a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith.102
Oswald ChambersFaith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.102
Paul RyanOur founders got it right when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence that our rights come from nature and nature's God, not from government.102
RamakrishnaA man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.102
Rick WarrenWhat gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.102
Stevie WonderI am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.102
Tim TebowI'm not perfect. And who knows how many times I've fallen short. We all fall short. That's the amazing thing about the grace of God.102
Vilayanur S. RamachandranMy views as an individual ought not to be confused with my views as a scientist - the minute you try to mingle God and science, you get into trouble. Metaphysics has its place, and science has its place; don't mix the two.102
William Allen WhiteWhoever tramples on the plea for justice temperately made in the name of peace only outrages peace and kills something fine in the heart of man which God put there when we got our manhood.102
Ziggy MarleyMy dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.102
Arthur EricksonGod's designs may be frequent justification for our actions, but it is we, the self-made men, who take the credit.102
Austin O'MalleyGod shows his contempt for wealth by the kind of person he selects to receive it.102
Camille PissarroGod takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.102
David BrainerdIf you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.102
Dionne WarwickBrazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.102
Edna St. Vincent MillayThe soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through. 102
Francis Scott KeyThe patriot who feels himself in the service of God, who acknowledges Him in all his ways, has the promise of Almighty direction, and will find His Word in his greatest darkness.102
Frank Moore ColbyCast your cares on God; that anchor holds.102
Gloria NaylorYou can't teach talent. You can't put in what God left out - but you can teach confidence.102
Hakeem OlajuwonGod comes first. Paradise is not cheap.102
James Weldon JohnsonYoung man, young man, your arm's too short to box with God.102
Leland RykenThe Puritans' sense of priorities in life was one of their greatest strengths. Putting God first and valuing everything else in relation to God was a recurrent Puritan theme.102
Philip James BaileyLet each man think himself an act of God, His mind a thought, his life a breath of God; And let each try, by great thoughts and good deeds, To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.102
Robin RobertsMy mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'102
Sherri ShepherdI love it when a woman hugs me. I love it when they say that I make them laugh because that means I'm doing what God called me to do. I love people. I love it when little old ladies come up and want to kiss me. It means so much to me that I get support and people know my heart. My fans know my heart and they get it.102
Terrence HowardIn every person we meet there's this little piece of God in them and that's who you talk to. And that's the only person that you allow to talk to you. When something else is speaking, you walk away from that. If it's not good, if it's not love, you walk away from it.102
Tom ArayaI am not an atheist; I believe in God. But my religion ends there. I have my own personal belief system that is so strong it allows me to do what I do. I don't have to worry about going to Hell because of Slayer, you know? Everyone has a personal belief system and believes in life somehow.102
Tryon EdwardsOne of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call.102
Walter LangTime was God's first creation.102
Whittaker ChambersI do not know any way to explain why God's grace touches a man who seems unworthy of it.102
Adam HamiltonWhy did the earthquake and tsunami occur in Japan? Was it the act of an angry God? No, it was the result of the movement and collision of the earth's tectonic plates - a process driven by the earth's need to regulate its own internal temperature. Without the process that creates earthquake, our planet could not sustain life.102
Barbara MandrellI don't know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me.102
Carry NationI want all hellions to quit puffing that hell fume in God's clean air.102
Evelyn UnderhillThere is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not.102
Fulton OurslerIn this one book are the two most interesting personalities in the whole world - God and yourself. The Bible is the story of God and man, a love story in which you and I must write our own ending, our unfinished autobiography of the creature and the Creator.102
John PiperDo all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.102
Jonathan EdwardsThe happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.102
Mariano RiveraI have nothing to ask for, thanks to God. Everything I have, God has given me.102
Sun Myung MoonIn my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God.102
Janine di GiovanniI see so many people get so wrapped up in wanting to get a bigger SUV or a bigger house. But then I think, 'My God, I could have been born a woman in the Congo.'102
Johannes TaulerGod in His wisdom has decided that He will reward no works but His own.102
Joseph Franklin RutherfordBefore we can know God and understand his great plan it is first necessary for us to believe that he exists and that he rewards all who diligently seek him.102
Konrad AdenauerIn view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.102
Maureen DowdI feel like I owe it to the readers to try to pull back the veil and give them the honest version of what's going on. But it's not more fun. If Obama, as he does sometimes already, gets a little snippy with me about something I've written, you're thinking, 'Oh God, the president of the United States is already annoyed with me.'102
Michael W. SmithBut I know God has big stuff planned that ultimately doesn't have anything to do with me.102
Randy NeugebauerThe Pledge of Allegiance reflects the truth that faith in God has played a significant role in America since the days of the founding of our country.102
Alphonsus LiguoriAcquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends.102
Jane GreyI do wash my hands in innocency, before God and the face of you, good Christian people this day.102
Louis AgassizThe glacier was God's great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth.102
Abraham CahanIf you study the Talmud you please God even more than you do by praying or fasting.102
Byron NelsonMy God, he looks like he's beating a chicken.102
Dave ThomasIn the beginning there was nothing and God said 'Let there be light', and there was still nothing but everybody could see it.102
MC HammerSome people call God, some people call Allah; I want to see the fruit of the love, I want to see the love, the love to help the brothers who may not be as fortunate as us.102
Jupiter HammonThere are but two places where all go after death, white and black, rich and poor; those places are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a place made for those, who are born again, and who love God, and it is a place where they will be happy for ever.102
John Ralston SaulBankers - pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted.102
Jud WilhiteIf you don't believe God has forgiven you, you are actually saying that God needs to do more for your forgiveness, and that Jesus' sacrifice was not enough.102
Benjamin FranklinWine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy. 103
Beyonce KnowlesFor me, it's about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It's where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me.103
Saint AugustinePray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you. 103
Iyanla VanzantAll things are lessons that God would have us learn.103
Jane GoodallMy mother always used to say, 'Well, if you had been born a little girl growing up in Egypt, you would go to church or go to worship Allah, but surely if those people are worshipping a God, it must be the same God' - that's what she always said. The same God with different names.103
Johnny CashThe things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I've got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.103
Joyce MeyerI believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.103
Ravi ZachariasWho is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.103
Saint IgnatiusWhat St. Francis and St. Dominic have done, that, by God's grace, I will do.103
Tennessee WilliamsWe're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.103
Alvar AaltoGod created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is, at least for me, an abuse of paper.103
Annie BesantEveryone knows the beautiful story of Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac. How this noble father led his child to the slaughter; how Isaac meekly submitted; how the farce went on till the lad was bound and laid on the altar, and how God then stopped the murder, and blessed the intending murderer for his willingness to commit the crime.103
Arnold J. ToynbeeAs human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.103
Barbara BoxerWe are all different. Yet we are all God's children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us.103
Bill CosbyThere is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God.103
Charles StanleyIf the Lord says to give more than you think you are able to give, know that He will provide for you. Whether things are sailing smoothly or the bottom has dropped out, He is always trustworthy. You can count on Almighty God to keep His everlasting Word.103
Constantin BrancusiCreate like a god, command like a king, work like a slave. 103
Corrie Ten BoomNever be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. 103
David A. BednarConversion is an enlarging, a deepening, and a broadening of the undergirding base of testimony. It is the result of revelation from God, accompanied by individual repentance, obedience, and diligence.103
Dietrich BonhoefferA god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.103
Dr. DreThe only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.103
Edith SteinAs for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor's soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love.103
Ellen G. WhiteLightness, jesting, and joking, can only be indulged at the expense of barrenness of soul, and the loss of the favor of God.103
Felix MendelssohnThough everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing, and carries us so far away from town, country, earth, and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of God.103
Francois RabelaisI place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.103
Frederic BastiatEach of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.103
George MullerThrough faith in the Lord Jesus alone can we obtain forgiveness of our sins, and be at peace with God; but, believing in Jesus, we become, through this very faith, the children of God; have God as our Father, and may come to Him for all the temporal and spiritual blessings which we need.103
Hans Christian AndersenEvery man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers.103
HerodotusDo you see how the god always hurls his bolts at the greatest houses and the tallest trees. For he is wont to thwart whatever is greater than the rest.103
Iggy PopMy parents wanted to light my artistic candle. But over time, the definition of 'the arts' began to stretch. And as I got older, they suddenly realized, Oh, my God, we're the parents of Iggy Pop.103
Izaak WaltonGod has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. 103
Jimmy DeanGod is bigger than people think. 103
Joan of ArcAct, and God will act.103
Johann Sebastian BachLike all music, the figured bass should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the recreation of the soul; where this is not kept in mind there is no true music, but only an infernal clamour and ranting.103
Karl BarthJesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.103
Laura Ingalls WilderSuffering passes, while love is eternal. That's a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it. 103
Lee TrevinoIf you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.103
Lenny BruceEvery day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.103
Linda EvangelistaGod help anyone who disobeys my recycling system. I have all the separated bins. I'm very adamant about it because I try to be a good citizen of the world, I really do. I even use eco-friendly cleaning products, but sometimes you just have to break open the disinfectant. Some jobs require it.103
Linus TorvaldsMy name is Linus, and I am your God.103
LL Cool JI am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.103
Mitt RomneyOur worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.103
MosesThe Lord your God will raise up a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything He tells you. Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be cut off from God's people and utterly destroyed.103
Patrick HenryWe are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.103
Ray LewisMan doesn't dictate what you do or how you do it. If you believe in God, believe in God; have your faith in him. That's where my faith lies.103
Reinhold NiebuhrGod, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.103
Rick WarrenIt is mind-boggling to me that the Almighty power created everything I see; the Bible says that God created the entire universe just so he could create this galaxy just so he could create Earth so he could create human beings so he could create a family.103
Robert Anton WilsonEvery war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.103
Rowan WilliamsAnd when the world is created, it is created in such a way that those eternal objects of God's loving wisdom become actualities - interacting with one another, relating to God in the finite realm.103
Russell BrandSometimes, as a comedian, a line will come to you, that is so beautiful, so perfect, that you think: I did not create this line. This line belongs to all of us. Surely this is a line of God.103
Saint AmbroseMany a sin has sullied me in body and in soul because I did not restrain my thoughts nor guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy protection.103
Saint PatrickIf I be worthy, I live for my God to teach the heathen, even though they may despise me.103
Sergey BrinSome say Google is God. Others say Google is Satan. But if they think Google is too powerful, remember that with search engines unlike other companies, all it takes is a single click to go to another search engine.103
Shaquille O'NealMe shooting 40% at the foul line is just God's way to say nobody's perfect.103
Victoria JusticeIf you've been driving for a little while and nothing's happened to you yet - and you've been texting and driving - you think, 'Oh nothing's going to happen.' But all it takes is an accident happening with one of your friends or God forbid, something happening to you, to really give you a wake-up call.103
William LawThis, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.103
Amiri BarakaGod has been replaced, as he has all over the West, with respectability and air conditioning.103
Brad ThorWe have an incredible warrior class in this country - people in law enforcement, intelligence - and I thank God every night we have them standing fast to protect us from the tremendous amount of evil that exists in the world.103
Brian CelioI wonder: when a Jehovah's Witness dies and goes to Heaven, does God hide behind the door and pretend He's not home?103
David BrainerdOnce more, Never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace.103
Derrick RoseAs long as I have my faith in God, I'm good. I know everything else is going to come.103
DhanushUnfortunately, I can only act; I do not have the looks, but I am very happy with what God has given me.103
Eugene H. PetersonIf you don't take a Sabbath, something is wrong. You're doing too much, you're being too much in charge. You've got to quit, one day a week, and just watch what God is doing when you're not doing anything.103
Evander HolyfieldThe word of God steadies me. He says your trials and tribulations make you who you are. So you can see my whole story in the way I endured and overcame some testing experiences.103
Heywood BrounNobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.103
Jean PaulGod is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul. 103
Joe StrummerIf you ain't thinkin' about man and God and law, then you ain't thinkin' about nothin'.103
John ClaytonChristians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.103
John McCainI believe in evolution. But I also believe, when I hike the Grand Canyon and see it at sunset, that the hand of God is there also.103
Kate AtkinsonI think you have to learn for yourself how to write. I'm slightly mystified by creative writing courses - God love them - because I can't understand how you can explain a process that I find so baffling.103
Luke ScottI believe God created sports for a good reason. It's recreation. It's something that we enjoy. It teaches us a lot as well... I believe God is a sports fan.103
William C. BryantThe groves were God's first temples.103
William TyndaleAnd as the circumcised in the flesh, and not in the heart, have no part in God's good promises; even so they that be baptized in the flesh, and not in heart, have no part in Christ's blood.103
Adam HamiltonAs a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.103
Alex CampbellI hope and trust the infinite, the eternal, and merciful and loving God. I worship Him and feel no guilt in my heart before him for what I am going to do.103
John PiperGod is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.103
Ray ComfortEven Helen Keller, who was born blind and deaf, could see God. No doubt, in her silent darkness, every fragrant flower, every ray of the warm sun, every taste that touched her tongue told her that there was a God who created all things. Jodie Foster shouldn't therefore be surprised that people are surprised that she's an atheist.103
Sean M. CarrollI don't want to give advice to people about their religious beliefs, but I do think that it's not smart to bet against the power of science to figure out the natural world. It used to be, a thousand years ago, that if you wanted to explain why the moon moved through the sky, you needed to invoke God.103
Alfred StieglitzSeveral people feel I have photographed God. May be.103
Beatrix PotterThank God I have the seeing eye, that is to say, as I lie in bed I can walk step by step on the fells and rough land seeing every stone and flower and patch of bog and cotton pass where my old legs will never take me again.103
Mary Manin MorrisseyGod intended Earth. God intended the waters. God intended you and me. We were created in the image and the likeness of God; we are holograms, if you will. So the power, the presence, the energy is within you and me. The energy of God, as life, is within each of us.103
Michael ChangI still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didn't believe that, it makes no sense for me to be out there, and on top of that, I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.103
Stockwell DayCanada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law.103
Alphonsus LiguoriJust as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.103
Dan MillmanMoney is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving.103
Jayne MansfieldI do know that God created us equal and we're not living up to it.103
Joe BartonWind is God's way of balancing heat. Wind is the way you shift heat from areas where it's hotter to areas where it's cooler. That's what wind is.103
Jupiter HammonBut this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.103
John BarthThe Bible is not man's word about God, but God's word about man.103
Mother TeresaWe 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.104
Anne FrankThe best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.104
Elvis PresleyUntil we meet again, may God bless you as he has blessed me.104
Francis of AssisiIf God can work through me, he can work through anyone. 104
Leo BuscagliaYour talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. 104
Soren KierkegaardGod creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.104
W. H. AudenGod bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.104
Christopher McCandlessI need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak to hike out of here. I am all alone. This is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless.104
Joel OsteenWhen you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. 104
John AdamsPower always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws. 104
Meister EckhartTo be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of God.104
Mike TysonGod lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.104
Steve HarveyGod lets you be successful because he trusts you that you will do the right thing with it. Now, does he get disappointed often? All the time, because people get there and they forget how they got it.104
B. B. KingI don't care for the music when they're talking bad about women because I think women are God's greatest gift to the planet - I just like music.104
Billy ConnollyIt seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he's telling them all different things.104
Cat StevensI became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.104
Charles StanleyWe can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.104
Daniel WebsterThe most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.104
Edwin Louis ColeGod is the Creator; Satan is the counterfeiter.104
Francesca AnnisThank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.104
Francis QuarlesFlatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor.104
George MullerLet no one profess to trust in God, and yet lay up for future wants, otherwise the Lord will first send him to the hoard he has amassed, before He can answer the prayer for more.104
Harriet Beecher StoweIn all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike.104
Harry Emerson FosdickGod is not a cosmic bellboy for whom we can press a button to get things.104
Henrik IbsenThe man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.104
Johann Sebastian BachWhere there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.104
John CalvinA dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.104
John WesleyGive me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.104
Karl BarthWhether the angels play only Bach praising God, I am not quite sure. I am sure, however, that en famille they play Mozart.104
Magic JohnsonI enjoy being the messenger for God in terms of letting people know about HIV and AIDS.104
Mike DitkaIf God had wanted man to play soccer, he wouldn't have given us arms.104
Mitt RomneyThe soles of Neil Armstrong's boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent's sofa. Like all Americans we went to bed that night knowing we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world. God bless Neil Armstrong.104
Orson PrattGod the Father and God the Son cannot be everywhere present; indeed they cannot be even in two places at the same instant: but God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent - it extends through all space, with all other matter.104
Oswald ChambersWe look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.104
Patrick HenryIs life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!104
Paul CezanneYou say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.104
Ram DassMy guru said that when he suffers, it brings him closer to God. I have found this, too.104
RamakrishnaOne must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.104
RihannaGod just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.104
Robert SchumannNature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.104
Robert WinstonWe give antibiotics to people when they're dying or when they're not well; that's acting God. I mean, acting God is using the tools of creation to try and improve human life, human existence. I don't think that that's a huge problem.104
Rodney KingI'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.104
Roy H. WilliamsIn essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation... as music.104
Saint Francis de SalesBy turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.104
Saint PatrickNo one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.104
StendhalGod's only excuse is that he does not exist.104
Steve CarellI remember my wife wanted me to go see 'Contagion,' and I was like, 'Oh my God, why would I want to see that movie?' I mean, I'll just have nightmares and it will freak me out. It turned out that I really enjoyed it; I thought it was very well done.104
Taraji P. HensonLove is the greatest gift that God has given us. It's free.104
Thomas SzaszIf you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.104
Tim TebowI grabbed my mom and I went to the couch and I said, 'Mom I want to ask Jesus to come into my heart.' And I got on my knee and I asked Jesus to come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, and make me a child of God.104
XenophanesThere is one God - supreme among gods and men - who is like mortals in neither body nor mind.104
J. C. WattsI think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.104
Jean RostandOne kills a man, one is an assassin; one kills millions, one is a conqueror; one kills everybody, one is a god.104
Lucy LarcomWhether rich or poor, a home is not a home unless the roots of love are ever striking deeper through the crust of the earthly and the conventional, into the very realities of being, not consciously always; seldom, perhaps; the simplicity of loving grows by living simply near nature and God.104
Ray ComfortFaith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God, the fallible words of men, or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.104
James WolcottLike Andy Warhol and unlike God Almighty, Larry King does not presume to judge; all celebrities are equal in his eyes, saints and sinners alike sharing the same 'Love Boat' voyage into the dark beyond, a former sitcom star as deserving of pious send-off as Princess Diana.104
Mary Manin MorrisseyStart living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.104
Alphonsus LiguoriWhat grieves me most in my past offenses, O my loving God, is not so much the punishment I have deserved, as the displeasure I have given You, Who are worthy of infinite love.104
Alan WattsYou don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.105
Billy GrahamMany churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.105
Cesar ChavezIt is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.105
George S. PattonIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. 105
Gottfried LeibnizThe ultimate reason of things must lie in a necessary substance, in which the differentiation of the changes only exists eminently as in their source; and this is what we call God.105
Martin LutherBeautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.105
Pope FrancisGod never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.105
Robert E. LeeWe failed, but in the good providence of God apparent failure often proves a blessing.105
Saint Teresa of AvilaI have often thought with wonder of the great goodness of God; and my soul has rejoiced in the contemplation of His great magnificence and mercy. May He be blessed for ever! For I see clearly that He has not omitted to reward me, even in this life, for every one of my good desires.105
Joyce MeyerI may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be. 105
Meister EckhartWe are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.105
MichelangeloI live and love in God's peculiar light.105
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.Young man, the secret of my success is that at early age I discovered that I was not God.105
R. Buckminster FullerGod is a verb, not a noun.105
Ravi ZachariasYou can only learn so much from books. You can only learn so much from education. Ultimately, it is the wisdom of God that will carry you through in the toughest situations of life.105
Saint IgnatiusMay God our Lord never let me harm anyone when I cannot help him!105
AeschylusGod lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.105
Anne LamottYou can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.105
Barbara EhrenreichFor a long time on Earth humans didn't worship good gods; that's a new idea. The ancient Greek gods, the Hindu gods, are fairly amoral, most of them. We get stuck when we insist that God be both good and all-powerful.105
Ben ShapiroSocialism has no moral justification whatsoever; poor people are not morally superior to rich people, nor are they owed anything by rich people simply because of their lack of success. Charity is not a socialist concept - it is a religious one, an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty over property, a sovereignty the Left utterly rejects.105
Bill MaherReligion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need.105
Cat StevensThis is the beauty of the Qur'an: it asks you to reflect and reason, and not to worship the sun or moon but the One who has created everything. The Qur'an asks man to reflect upon the sun and moon and God's creation in general.105
Charles StanleyTo have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses.105
Edwin Louis ColeHave faith in God; God has faith in you.105
Frederick William FaberThey always win who side with God.105
George MullerIt is of immense importance for the understanding of the word of God, to read it in course, so that we may read every day a portion of the Old and a portion of the New Testament, going on where we previously left off.105
Gordon B. HinckleyMeekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.105
Haile SelassieDo not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ. 105
Hilaire BellocThe grace of God is courtesy.105
Honore de BalzacClouds symbolize the veils that shroud God.105
James M. BarrieGod gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. 105
Jean CocteauI have lost my seven best friends, which is to say God has had mercy on me seven times without realizing it. He lent a friendship, took it from me, sent me another.105
Joan of ArcIf I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.105
Joan RiversIf God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor.105
Johann Sebastian BachThe aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.105
John CalvinGod tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.105
John WesleyGod does nothing except in response to believing prayer.105
Marco RubioOur national motto is 'In God we Trust,' reminding us that faith in our Creator is the most important American value of all.105
Marianne WilliamsonAs we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.105
Martha BeckThe pretty girls get all the good stuff. Oh, God. So not true. I unlearned this after years of coaching beautiful clients. Yes, these lovelies get preferential treatment in most life scenarios, but there's a catch: While everyone's looking at them, virtually no one sees them.105
Mikhail BakuninThe first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.105
Paramahansa YoganandaThe yogi offers his labyrinthine human longings to a monotheistic bonfire dedicated to the unparalleled God. This is indeed the true yogic fire ceremony, in which all past and present desires are fuel consumed by love divine.105
Peter MarshallGod will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.105
Pope Paul VIThe Eucharistic mystery stands at the heart and center of the liturgy since it is the fount of life by which we are cleansed and strengthened to live not for ourselves but for God and to be united in love among ourselves.105
Rick WarrenYou were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.105
Robert Anton WilsonPregnancy is a kind of miracle. Especially so in that it proves that a man and woman can conspire to force God to create a new soul.105
Rowan WilliamsThe Church is the new creation, it is life and joy, it is the sacramental fellowship in which we share the ultimate purpose of God, made real for us now in our hearing the Word and sharing the Sacrament.105
Saint AmbroseA good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years.105
Saint BasilLiberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth.105
Sam LevensonIt's a good thing that when God created the rainbow he didn't consult a decorator or he would still be picking colors.105
Sean CombsMan, I just feel blessed... I was in a situation where the only way I could come out of it was by putting my faith in God. No matter how good my lawyers were, no matter how much celebrity I had, everything was just stacked up against me.105
Tina TurnerFor me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different.105
Wangari MaathaiSome say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys from time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.105
Wendell BerryThis, I thought, is what is meant by 'thy will be done' in the Lord's Prayer, which I had prayed time and again without thinking about it. It means that your will and God's will may not be the same. It means there's a good possibility that you won't get what you pray for. It means that in spite of your prayers you are going to suffer.105
William PennMen must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants. 105
Wolfgang Amadeus MozartI thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.105
James DobsonGod has called us to be His representatives in our nation and in our world. Select candidates who represent your views and work for their election.105
Joss WhedonI was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential 'God, I exist, and nobody cares' of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me.105
Peter AbelardOur redemption through the suffering of Christ is that deeper love within us which not only frees us from slavery to sin, but also secures for us the true liberty of the children of God, in order that we might do all things out of love rather than out of fear - love for him that has shown us such grace that no greater can be found.105
Evelyn UnderhillAdoration is caring for God above all else.105
Mahalia JacksonSometimes you ask God for something and you don't know what you're asking.105
Konrad AdenauerA thick skin is a gift from God.105
Sri AurobindoHidden nature is secret God.105
Junior SeauI had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much.105
Billy GrahamGod proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'106
Charles DarwinI cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.106
Galileo GalileiI do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.106
John MuirOh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.106
John Stuart MillWhatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men.106
Vincent Van GoghI am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed. 106
Joel OsteenI don't think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He's given you... but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things... he's not a small God; this God is incredible.106
Marcus GarveyGod and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.106
Meister EckhartYou may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.106
Sylvia PlathI talk to God but the sky is empty.106
Annie BesantThe idea of reverence for God is transmitted from parent to child, it is educated into an abnormal development, and thus almost indefinitely strengthened, but yet it does appear to me that the bent to worship is an integral part of man's nature.106
Arnold J. ToynbeeSooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.106
Arthur AsheIf I were to say, 'God, why me?' about the bad things, then I should have said, 'God, why me?' about the good things that happened in my life.106
Charles StanleyOn Sunday morning, I'm not nervous... I can't wait to tell what God wants me to say. 106
Elizabeth IGod forgive you, but I never can.106
Elizabeth WarrenNow look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and paid forward for the next kid who comes along.106
Ellen G. WhiteMany have a vague idea that they must make some wonderful effort in order to gain the favor of God. But all self-dependence is vain. It is only by connecting with Jesus through faith that the sinner becomes a hopeful, believing child of God.106
Garrison KeillorThank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. 106
George MacDonaldAfflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.106
Haile SelassieIf a strong government finds that it can, with impunity, destroy a weak people, then the hour has struck for that weak people to appeal to the League of Nations to give its judgment in all freedom. God and history will remember your judgment.106
Jack LondonThe scab is a traitor to his God, his mother, and his class.106
Jack WhiteI have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do.106
John CalvinMan's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.106
Karen ArmstrongWe have domesticated God's transcendence. We often learn about God at about the same time as we are learning about Santa Claus; but our ideas about Santa Claus change, mature and become more nuanced, whereas our ideas of God can remain at a rather infantile level.106
Karl BarthReligion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.106
Lauryn HillEverything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.106
Lily TomlinWhy is it that when we talk to God we're said to be praying but when God talks to us we're schizophrenic?106
Louis FarrakhanBecause wherever I am today, I still owe it to God and I owe it to two men - the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X and of course, two very special women, my mother and my wife.106
Ludwig van BeethovenBeethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.106
Martha GrahamWe learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.106
Max LucadoThe meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'106
Mignon McLaughlinWhen suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting we have just had one.106
Mikhail BakuninA jealous lover of human liberty, deeming it the absolute condition of all that we admire and respect in humanity, I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that, if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.106
MosesYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.106
RamakrishnaGod is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.106
Reba McEntireNever have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.106
Reinhold NiebuhrThe tendency to claim God as an ally for our partisan value and ends is the source of all religious fanaticism.106
Rick PerryThe God we serve does not seek out the perfect, but instead uses our imperfections and our shortcomings for his greater good. I am humbled by my own limitations. But where I am weak, He is strong.106
Rick WarrenFaithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.106
Stevie WonderGod gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.106
T. D. JakesSo though there are many things I would have done differently, I submit to God's sovereignty and His purpose in my life and I thank Him that He brought me the way He brought me and gave me what He gave me when He thought I could handle it.106
Thomas MoreI die the king's faithful servant, but God's first.106
Tim TebowSomething I always try to practice is be anxious for nothing, but let your request be known to God.106
William CowperGod moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.106
William Howard TaftI love judges, and I love courts. They are my ideals, that typify on earth what we shall meet hereafter in heaven under a just God.106
Willie NelsonI think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?106
Joseph PrinceLaughter is God's blessing.106
Leo RostenWhy did God give me two ears and one mouth? So that I will hear more and talk less.106
Pearl BaileyPeople see God every day, they just don't recognize him.106
Pope Shenouda IIIThe world sees in our conduct, in our behaviour, the proof that we are the real children of God.106
William Lyon PhelpsGod speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the Son of Man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing.106
John EldredgeFalling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.106
Joseph Franklin RutherfordJehovah God is truly rich far beyond the imagination of humankind.106
Martin Farquhar TupperGod, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.106
Radhanath SwamiWhen love is pure, it has the power to conquer. Lover and beloved conquer each other by their affection. The source, the essence, the fullest manifestation of love's conquering power is the love of the soul for the supreme soul, or God.106
Charles DukeMy walk on the moon lasted three days. My walk with God will last forever.106
Jennie FinchA miracle is really the only way to describe motherhood and giving birth. It's unbelievable how God has made us women and babies to endure and be able to do so much. A miracle, indeed. Such an incredible blessing.107
Bob MarleyIf you're white and you're wrong, then you're wrong; if you're black and you're wrong, you're wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green - God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.107
Christopher HitchensOwners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.107
Elie WieselMan, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.107
George W. BushThe course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.107
Pope John Paul IIStupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it. 107
Rosa ParksGod has always given me the strength to say what is right.107
William Arthur WardGod gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?' 107
AdeleI was adopting an Ethiopian child, that's not true. My house was haunted, that wasn't true. God, there's been so many rumours.107
Meister EckhartGod is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.107
Abraham Joshua HeschelMan's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God.107
Abu BakrWhen you advise any person you should be guided by the fear of God.107
Adam SandlerGod gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell.107
Anthony HopkinsWe all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we're atheist.107
Baltasar GracianHe that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.107
Brigham YoungNature is the glass reflecting God, as by the sea reflected is the sun, too glorious to be gazed on in his sphere.107
Charles StanleyDisappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan.107
Dag HammarskjoldGod 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 illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.107
Dietrich BonhoefferGod's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.107
Edwin Louis ColeKnowledge of God's Word is a bulwark against deception, temptation, accusation, even persecution.107
George Washington CarverI love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.107
Helen Hunt JacksonMotherhood is priced Of God, at price no man may dare To lessen or misunderstand.107
Igor StravinskyI was born out of due time in the sense that by temperament and talent I should have been more suited for the life of a small Bach, living in anonymity and composing regularly for an established service and for God.107
Joan of ArcI was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.107
John Greenleaf WhittierBefore me, even as behind, God is, and all is well.107
Karl BarthNo one can be saved - in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved - in virtue of what God can do.107
Marco RubioWe cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us into silence and into inaction. Because this country that God has blessed us with, it is worth fighting for.107
Martin ScorseseHoward Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god... I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.107
Max LucadoAbout four days a week, I do pretty good at having a morning prayer time. But even at that, it's a rambling sort of thing. What I have learned to do better is to try to keep my mind turned toward God and ear inclined toward God throughout the day, and I think I'm doing better at that, but I've got a long way to go.107
Michael J. FoxI am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.107
MosesWould God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!107
Muhammad IqbalThe immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.107
Paul TillichI hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.107
Rick WarrenIf God only used perfect people, nothing would get done. God will use anybody if you're available.107
Saint PatrickIf I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.107
Truman CapoteWhen God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely.107
Vin DieselI haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.107
William Jennings BryanThe parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists.107
David BrainerdWe should always look upon ourselves as God's servants, placed in God's world, to do his work; and accordingly labour faithfully for him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all the good we possibly can.107
Julian BagginiThe reason to be an atheist is not that it makes us feel better or gives us a more rewarding life. The reason to be an atheist is simply that there is no God and we would prefer to live in full recognition of that, accepting the consequences, even if it makes us less happy.107
John PiperEvery spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.107
Ryan ShecklerI like skateboarding. I'm here on this planet to skateboard; I feel this is what God wants me to do. I just live it. I get hurt all the time. I break bones. It's just all part of the process.107
Alphonsus LiguoriSince His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.107
Maya AngelouThe thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think.108
SocratesOur prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us. 108
Blaise PascalFaith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God.108
Elie WieselMankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other.108
John LennonI believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.108
John MuirGod has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.108
Martin LutherFaith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.108
Isak DinesenGod made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.108
Christopher McCandlessIt is the experiences, the great triumphant joy of living to the fullest extent in which real meaning is found. God it's great to be alive!108
D. H. LawrenceThere is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life; and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.108
Joel OsteenDon't ever criticize yourself. Don't go around all day long thinking, 'I'm unattractive, I'm slow, I'm not as smart as my brother.' God wasn't having a bad day when he made you... If you don't love yourself in the right way, you can't love your neighbour. You can't be as good as you are supposed to be.108
Lionel MessiToday I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift.108
Mattie StepanekRemember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.108
Meister EckhartGod expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.108
Ravi ZachariasThe assurance of Heaven is never given to the person. And that's why at the core of the Christian faith is the grace of God. If there's one word I would grab from all of that, it's forgiveness - that you can be forgiven. I can be forgiven, and it is of the grace of God. But once you understand that, I think the ramifications are worldwide.108
Rudyard KiplingGod could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers. 108
Saint IgnatiusAbove all, remember that God looks for solid virtues in us, such as patience, humility, obedience, abnegation of your own will - that is, the good will to serve Him and our neighbor in Him. His providence allows us other devotions only insofar as He sees that they are useful to us.108
Abraham Joshua HeschelWorship is a way of seeing the world in the light of God.108
Dorothy DayIt is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills, than it is to keep a strong, hearty, living faith in each individual around us - to see Christ in him.108
E. Stanley JonesAt the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.108
Ellen G. WhiteGod's promises are all on condition of humble obedience.108
Ernest HolmesEach one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God.108
Francis QuarlesIf thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.108
Fred AllenSome movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.108
Jerry FalwellAIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.108
Joan of ArcSince God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King's daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.108
Jorge Luis BorgesTo fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.108
Lee IacoccaApply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.108
Louis FarrakhanWe are all gifted, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use it for the Glory of God and for the liberation struggle of our people.108
RamakrishnaBondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say 'I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be.108
Rick WarrenThe only way you can serve God is by serving other people.108
Robert OrbenPlanned obsolescence is not really a new concept. God used it with people.108
SaadiHe who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.108
Simone WeilIt is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.108
Ted WilliamsGod gets you to the plate, but once your there your on your own.108
Jules RenardI don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.108
Kanye WestI am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.109
Muhammad AliThe word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.109
Elie WieselHope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.109
Erma BombeckWhen I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.109
John MuirRocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.109
Louis XIVHas God forgotten all I have done for Him.109
Thomas MertonThe very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God's mercy to me.109
Anton ChekhovTo judge between good or bad, between successful and unsuccessful would take the eye of a God.109
Ben CarsonI've had experiences in my life that leave no doubt in my mind about the fact that God exists. I'm quite willing to debate people who don't think so because I want them to explain to me how did our solar system get so organized and how is the universe so complex and yet well-organized that we can predict 70 years hence when a comet is coming?109
Henry Ward BeecherFlowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. 109
Jim ValvanoI will thank God for the day and the moment I have. 109
Joel OsteenSome people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.109
Mattie StepanekI think that someone is watching out for me, God, my guardian angel, I'm not sure who that is, but they really work hard.109
Sai BabaLook out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.109
Saint IgnatiusRemember that bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, as I have said, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord.109
Steve HarveyYou can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. But there's no class for comedy. You have to be born with it. God has to give you this gift.109
Alfred AdlerGod who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.109
Ellen G. WhiteA person whose mind is quiet and satisfied in God is in the pathway to health.109
Emmeline PankhurstIf it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear.109
George ClooneyThere is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.109
Hugh JackmanNow I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street.109
John CalvinHowever many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.109
Margaret FullerMan tells his aspiration in his God; but in his demon he shows his depth of experience.109
Max LucadoGod will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.109
RamakrishnaPray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.109
Saint Francis de SalesWe must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.109
Ted NugentGibson has been making the finest electric guitars the world has ever witnessed for over 70 years. They are as American as God, guns and rock and roll.109
XenophanesGod is one, greatest of gods and men, not like mortals in body or thought.109
Edna St. Vincent MillayGod, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart.109
Mehmet OzAs a surgeon you have to have a controlled arrogance. If it's uncontrolled, you kill people, but you have to be pretty arrogant to saw through a person's chest, take out their heart and believe you can fix it. Then, when you succeed and the patient survives, you pray, because it's only by the grace of God that you get there.109
Kanye WestKeep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.110
Ralph Waldo EmersonNever lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting. 110
EpicurusIf God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.110
Frank Lloyd WrightI believe in God, only I spell it Nature. 110
Jesus ChristFor God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.110
Malala YousafzaiOnce I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead, he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself... By giving me this height to reach people, he has also given me great responsibilities.110
Thomas PaineBelief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.110
PeleI always had a philosophy which I got from my father. He used to say, 'Listen. God gave to you the gift to play football. This is your gift from God. If you take care of your health, if you are in good shape all the time, with your gift from God no one will stop you, but you must be prepared.'110
Alfred Lord TennysonGod's finger touched him, and he slept.110
Christopher McCandlessI have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!110
Dante AlighieriNature is the art of God. 110
Henri NouwenMinistry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.110
Joel OsteenLet go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you'll get to where God wants you to be.110
Zora Neale HurstonNothing that God ever made is the same thing to more than one person. That is natural.110
AeschylusHe who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.110
Arthur C. ClarkeIt may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God - but to create him.110
Ellen G. WhiteWhatsoever is done out of pure love, be it ever so little or contemptible in the sight of men, is wholly fruitful; for God measures more with how much love one worketh, than the amount he doeth.110
Gisele BundchenWhen I was a teenager, I had pimples - oh, God, every time someone looked at my face I thought they were looking at my pimples. I put mud on my face to dry them out, and it worked.110
Joan RiversI don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.110
Mikhail BakuninTherefore, if God existed, only in one way could he serve human liberty - by ceasing to exist.110
Orson PrattEach atom of the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and like all other matter has solidity, form, and size, and occupies space.110
RamakrishnaGod can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.110
Sonia SotomayorI realized that people had an unreal image of me, that somehow I was a god on Mount Olympus. I decided that if I were going to make use of my role as a Supreme Court Justice, it would be to inspire people to realize that, first, I was just like them and second, if I could do it, so could they.110
Ted CruzWhen my father came over here penniless with $100 sewn into his underwear, thank God some well-meaning liberal didn't come put his arm around him and say, 'Let me take care of you.'110
TertullianNothing that is God's is obtainable by money.110
Truman CapoteIt is the want to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.110
Yehuda BergI imagine God to be like my father. My father was always the voice of certainty in my life. Certainty in the wisdom, certainty in the path, certainty always in God. For me God is certainty in everything. Certainty that everything is good and everything is God.110
Alphonsus LiguoriYour God is ever beside you - indeed, He is even within you.110
Desmond TutuWe may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.111
Ellen DeGeneresIn the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.111
Immanuel KantIt is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.111
Martin LutherOur Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. 111
Pope FrancisSince many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.111
Saint AugustineO Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.111
Saint Teresa of AvilaAnyone who truly loves God travels securely.111
Joyce MeyerI'm only going to stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else's life. If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there's no point in me blaming you for what's wrong in my life.111
Steve MartinWhat I mean is that none of my talents had a - what's that great word - rubric. A singer, an actor, a dancer - there was nothing I could really say I was. The writing came much later. And, actually, thank God, because if I had said I'm a singer, I would really have just had one thing to do.111
Alan RickmanWhat is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.111
Charles StanleyThe best way in the world to deceive believers is to cloak a message in religious language and declare that it conveys some new insight from God.111
Christopher NolanFor me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously. He's not from another planet, or filled with radioactive gunk. I mean, Superman is essentially a god, but Batman is more like Hercules: he's a human being, very flawed, and bridges the divide.111
Douglas CouplandCloning is great. If God made the original, then making copies should be fine.111
Ellen G. WhiteIn Christ was united the human and the divine. His mission was to reconcile God to man, and man to God; to unite the finite with the infinite.111
Joan RiversYesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.111
Max LucadoGod meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed.111
Rick WarrenGod is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, he will wear you out. The most dangerous prayer you can pray is this: 'Use me.'111
Simone WeilEvery perfect life is a parable invented by God.111
Wangari MaathaiI don't really know why I care so much. I just have something inside me that tells me that there is a problem, and I have got to do something about it. I think that is what I would call the God in me.111
Alexander HamiltonThe voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.112
C. S. LewisThere are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'112
Desmond TutuGod's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.112
Douglas MacArthurLike the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.112
Jesus ChristBehold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.112
Joseph CampbellGod is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.112
Martin LutherGod writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.112
Saint AugustineGod loves each of us as if there were only one of us. 112
Saint Teresa of AvilaFor prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.112
Swami VivekanandaThe moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.112
Joel OsteenI think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.112
Joyce MeyerI've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.112
Meister EckhartThe eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.112
Saint IgnatiusGod our Lord would have us look to the Giver and love Him more than His gift, keeping Him always before our eyes, in our hearts, and in our thoughts.112
Garrison KeillorThank you, dear God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. Thank you for the rain. And for the chance to wake up in three hours and go fishing: I thank you for that now, because I won't feel so thankful then.112
Max LucadoIf we think that this life is all there is to life, then there is no interpretation of our problems, our pain, not even of our privileges. But everything changes when we open up to the possibility that God's story is really our story too.112
Robert H. SchullerAnyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed. 112
AristotleWhosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god. 113
Baruch SpinozaGod is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.113
David BowieThat's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.113
Franz KafkaGod gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.113
Lucius Annaeus SenecaBehold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.113
Rabindranath TagoreEvery child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. 113
Thomas PaineThere are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.113
Joel OsteenI believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.113
Joyce MeyerAs you read or listen to God's Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.113
Swami SivanandaGod is all-full. He is self-contained. He is eternal satisfaction.113
Ezra Taft BensonGodly sorrow is a gift of the Spirit. It is a deep realization that our actions have offended our Father and our God. It is the sharp and keen awareness that our behavior caused the Savior, He who knew no sin, even the greatest of all, to endure agony and suffering.113
Marquis de SadeTo judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.113
Oswald ChambersWhen it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'113
RamakrishnaIf you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.113
Robert BrowningIf you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents.113
Saint BasilTo lovers of the truth, nothing can be put before God and hope in Him.113
Aldous HuxleyGod isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.114
Desmond TutuBut God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next. 114
Franklin D. RooseveltYesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.114
Fyodor DostoevskyBeauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.114
Kurt VonnegutPeople don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.114
Martin LutherAll who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.114

Joel OsteenGod can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you're able to pay off your house. That's God shifting things in your favor.114
MichelangeloI am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.114
Richard P. FeynmanScientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.114
Charles StanleyGod's plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple - one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we're busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone's eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you'll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.114
Robert BrowningEarth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.114

William ShakespeareGod has given you one face, and you make yourself another. 116
Baruch SpinozaWhatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.116
Charles SpurgeonWe have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.116
Jesus ChristMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.116

Isaac Bashevis SingerLife is God's novel. Let him write it.116
Joel OsteenI think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.116
Marcus Tullius CiceroJust as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.116
AeschylusGod always strives together with those who strive.116
Ellen G. WhiteThe name, Seventh-day Adventist, is a standing rebuke to the Protestant world. Here is the line of distinction between the worshipers of God, and those who worship the beast, and receive his mark. The great conflict is between the commandments of God and the requirements of the beast.116
Neale Donald WalschGod is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet.116
Alan WattsZen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.117
Billy GrahamGod has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with. 117
Desmond TutuIsn't it amazing that we are all made in God's image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?117

Frederick DouglassOne and God make a majority. 117
Fyodor DostoevskyTo love someone means to see him as God intended him.117
Henry FordI believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.117
Swami VivekanandaAs different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God.117
Thomas PaineReputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. 117
Ben CarsonI always pray for God's guidance in my life and he always provides it. He opens the right doors he shuts the right doors. And I have tremendous faith in him. He just guided my career in an amazing way.117
Stephen KingAnd poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God's language - it's better, it's finer, it's language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.117
Tennessee WilliamsAll of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.117
Abu BakrThere is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.117
Ellen G. WhiteThe name 'Seventh-day Adventist' carries the true features of our faith in front and will convict the inquiring mind. Like an arrow from the Lord's quiver, it will wound the transgressors of God's law, and will lead to repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.117
Marco RubioWe are special because we've been united not by a common race or ethnicity. We're bound together by common values. That family is the most important institution in society. That almighty God is the source of all we have.117
Bob MarleyGod sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.118
Desmond TutuIn the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.118

Rabindranath TagoreFrom the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.118
Robert E. LeeI tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.118
Robert KennedyBut suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?118
Thomas MertonWe are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God.118
William BlakeWhere mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.118

Albert CamusI would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.119
Elon MuskIt's not as though we can keep burning coal in our power plants. Coal is a finite resource, too. We must find alternatives, and it's a better idea to find alternatives sooner then wait until we run out of coal, and in the meantime, put God knows how many trillions of tons of CO2 that used to be buried underground into the atmosphere.119
Jesus ChristLittle children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.119

William BlakeIt is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.119
Woodrow WilsonIn the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.119
Jimmy CarterThere's always an element of self delusion among people who believe they ought to be President. There's an underestimation of your opponent and an overestimation of your own abilities. This is compatible with being rich and powerful, the idea that we were blessed by God because we deserve to be blessed.119
George WhitefieldFor it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.119
C. S. LewisEveryone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us... While what we call 'our own life' remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make 'our own life' less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?120
Alan WattsBut at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.120
Ayn RandGod... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.120

Charlie ChaplinI am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man. 120
Gilbert K. ChestertonIf I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.120

Ansel AdamsDodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.120

Soren KierkegaardJust as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.121
Joel OsteenIt's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.121
Ambrose BierceWar is God's way of teaching Americans geography. 121
Tony DungyI've said all along that God is in control.121
William ShakespeareIgnorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. 122
Billy GrahamPrayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.122
Blaise PascalIt is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.122
Frank Lloyd WrightGod is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.122
Stephen HawkingNot only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. 122
Thomas AquinasIt is possible to demonstrate God's existence, although not a priori, yet a posteriori from some work of His more surely known to us.122
EuripidesHe was a wise man who originated the idea of God.122
Joyce MeyerI've learned through my own relationship with God that He's not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.122
Lech WalesaIn myself I am nothing. It all comes from God and the Virgin Mary.122
John F. KennedyGeography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.123
Christopher HitchensWell, I'll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.123
Soren KierkegaardThe function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.123
Tupac ShakurIf you believe in God, believe in Death Row East.123
Joyce MeyerWhen you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He's done... is doing... and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don't let yourself ever get used to it... stay amazed!123
Emmeline PankhurstTrust in God - she will provide.123
C. S. LewisA man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.124
Mother TeresaLet us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.124

Joyce MeyerOver the years I've learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.124

Joel OsteenFaith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy.125
Joyce MeyerGod is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.125
Saint BasilThere is nothing unpremeditated, nothing neglected by God. His unsleeping eye beholds all things.125
Aldous HuxleyUncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.126
Blaise PascalHappiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.126
Jean-Paul SartreThat God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.126

Thomas AquinasGod should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter.126
Joel OsteenGod wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.126

SophoclesGod's dice always have a lucky roll.126
RamakrishnaMany are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached.126
Mother TeresaThere is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.201
VoltaireIf God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.201
Billy GrahamGod's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world.201
Francis BaconSmall amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.201

Thomas PaineIt is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes.201
Walt WhitmanI say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.201
Joyce MeyerGod has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!201

George WashingtonLet us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.203
Gilbert K. ChestertonMen always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.203
Martin LutherMusic is the art of the prophets and the gift of God.203
Saint AugustineGod judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.203

SocratesThe end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.204
John LennonAnd God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he's no longer God... They'll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.204

Donald TrumpPeople are so shocked when they find... out I am Protestant. I am Presbyterian. And I go to church, and I love God, and I love my church.205
Alan WattsThe style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.205
Blaise PascalIt is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.205
J. K. RowlingIt is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it's perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.205
Joyce MeyerDon't judge other people. For example, if you want God's anointing to be on you for parenting, you need to be careful not to criticize other parents.205
Marcus Tullius CiceroNext to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.205
Charles StanleyGod will never reject you. Whether you accept Him is your decision.205
John Shelby SpongI think that anything that begins to give people a sense of their own worth and dignity is God.205
Barack ObamaWe worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.206

C. S. LewisCan a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.207

Joel OsteenI'm not the judge. You know, God didn't tell me to go around judging everybody.207
Joyce MeyerAs a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.207

C. S. LewisGod cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.209

Joyce MeyerGod's mercy is fresh and new every morning. 209
H. L. MenckenThe theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.210
Alan WattsHow is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.210
Mahatma GandhiInfinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.211
Thomas JeffersonQuestion with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.211
Bob MarleyI don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.211

A. P. J. Abdul KalamAs a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me. 212

Thomas JeffersonIt does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.223
Mahatma GandhiIt is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity. 224
Ronald ReaganWithout God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.224
Bob DylanYou hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.224
Francis BaconGod hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.224
Victor HugoDear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.224
Victor HugoWhen God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.225
Aldous HuxleyThere's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.226
Charles StanleySince God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.226
Friedrich NietzscheI cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.301

PlatoThe blame is his who chooses: God is blameless.305

Albert EinsteinGod does not play dice. 307
Elie WieselAfter all, God is God because he remembers.308
Thomas JeffersonFix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.310
Mahatma GandhiThere is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.313
Mahatma GandhiI will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.314
