I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

Pearl Bailey
I 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.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.

Yeah, I know I’m ugly… I said to a bartender, ‘Make me a zombie.’ He said ‘God beat me to it.’

Discernment is God’s call to intercession, never to faultfinding.

Corrie Ten Boom
I 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.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God’s children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The ‘many mansions‘ are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.

As 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.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

Music is God’s gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.

The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.

Be strong, believe in freedom and in God, love yourself, understand your sexuality, have a sense of humor, masturbate, don’t judge people by their religion, color or sexual habits, love life and your family.

God to me is love.

God always takes the simplest way.

It has been great journey from where I have started to where I am today. I am really blessed with God’s grace.

The perfection of Christian character depends wholly upon the grace and strength found alone in God.

Beautiful 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.

So 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.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

Heraclitus
I had many friends to help me to fall; but as to rising again, I was so much left to myself, that I wonder now I was not always on the ground. I praise God for His mercy; for it was He only Who stretched out His hand to me. May He be blessed for ever! Amen.

As God has not made anything useless in this world, as all beings fulfill obligations or a role in the sublime drama of Creation, I cannot exempt from this duty, and small though it be, I too have a mission to fill, as for example: alleviating the sufferings of my fellowmen.

Laughter is God’s blessing.

I 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?

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

When a man’s willing and eager the god’s join in.

Owners 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.

We are not our own. We do not belong to ourselves. But we have been purchased with a dear price. We have cost an immense sum, even the sufferings and death of the Son of God.

When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely.

Truman Capote
Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

It 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!

Christopher McCandless
Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.

War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography.

Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn’t misuse it.

May God save the country, for it is evident that the people will not.

Millard Fillmore
Seems 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.

God gives us our relatives, thank God we can choose our friends.

Ethel Watts Mumford
I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

John Calvin
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.

The opposite of faith is not doubt: It is certainty. It is madness. You can tell you have created God in your own image when it turns out that he or she hates all the same people you do.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

I like the story about Henry David Thoreau, who, when he was on his death bed, his family sent for a minister. The minister said, ‘Henry, have you made your peace with God?’ Thoreau said, ‘I didn’t know we’d quarreled.’

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.

I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

Every man’s life is a fairy tale written by God’s fingers.

Hans Christian Andersen
When I go, God’s going to have to give up his favourite chair.

God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

I’m usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, ‘Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It’s amazing,’ I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for ‘Stranger Things,’ I couldn’t resist. I had to watch it.

God 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.

You’re a song written by the hands of God.

Acquire 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.

Alphonsus Liguori
God 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.

Even God lends a hand to honest boldness.

Menander

I’m blessed and I thank God for every day for everything that happens for me.

I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It’s as simple as that.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

I said to the almond tree, ‘Friend, speak to me of God,’ and the almond tree blossomed.

Since 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.

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

If 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.

If I were to pray in Arabic, I’d pray to Allah. If I were to pray in English, I’d pray to God.

All variety of created objects which represent order and life in the universe could happen only by the willful reasoning of its original Creator, whom I call the ‘Lord God.’

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

I can find God in nature, in animals, in birds and the environment.

Pat Buckley
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.

It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we’ve made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

God does not play dice.

I swear to God, if you saw me when I am by myself in the woods, I’m a lunatic. I sing, I dance.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

As long as God gives me strength to work and try to make things real for my children, I’m going to work for it – even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.

Medgar Evers
God 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!

An angel of God never has wings.

Just be yourself, and enjoy the blessings that God’s borne out on you.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God.

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

Each one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God.

Ernest Holmes
Just 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.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

Before 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.

Of course God will forgive me; that’s His job.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.

When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

It 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. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.

He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.

Saadi
Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

We cannot, of course, disprove God, just as we can’t disprove Thor, fairies, leprechauns and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The best thing of all is God is with us.

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can; and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible; and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.

I am aware that a philosopher‘s ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavour to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God.

God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.

I 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.

Geronimo
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

But I know God has big stuff planned that ultimately doesn’t have anything to do with me.

When it is a question of God’s almighty Spirit, never say, ‘I can’t.’

Oswald Chambers
Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

The world sees in our conduct, in our behaviour, the proof that we are the real children of God.

Pope Shenouda III
Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.

Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.

I never was in the Nation of Islam… I mean, what I call myself is a natural Muslim, ’cause it’s just me and God. You know, going to the mosque, the ritual and the tradition, it’s just not in me to do. So I don’t do it.

The secret was to just be cool, stay in God’s graces, and work it out.

Solomon Burke
God is not a cosmic bellboy for whom we can press a button to get things.

Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.

And God said, ‘Let there be light’ and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ. It is the time to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart – and our neighbors as ourselves.

It is not God’s will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

There is one thing higher than Royalty: and that is religion, which causes us to leave the world, and seek God.

A statesman… must wait until he hears the steps of God sounding through events, then leap up and grasp the hem of His garment.

Otto von Bismarck
God doesn’t dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.

Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.

Malcolm Muggeridge
Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.

We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.

Charles Studd
I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail – I shall succeed.

God is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

God 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.

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

Don’t you know there ain’t no devil, it’s just god when he’s drunk.

God is all over the place. And even if He isn’t, if it makes me feel good, why not?

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

People see God every day, they just don’t recognize him.

Pearl Bailey
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

Oswald Chambers
I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

I’d describe myself as a Christian who doesn’t believe in God.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider… the riders contend for its possession.

A 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.

It 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.

Sorrow for sin is indeed necessary, but it should not be an endless preoccupation. You must dwell also on the glad remembrance of God’s loving-kindness; otherwise, sadness will harden the heart and lead it more deeply into despair.

Your legal career is but a means to an end, and… that end is building the kingdom of God.

Amy Coney Barrett
It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to create him.

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I 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.

e e cummings

The God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.

Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.

I like smoking! I mean, God, I quit everything else, can’t I smoke?

Melanie Griffith
Sometimes you ask God for something and you don’t know what you’re asking.

Hudson Taylor
I can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman.

King James I
Be happy. God gave you a breath to breathe every day. You don’t need to be mad about nothin‘.

Satan, the leader or dictator of devils, is the opposite, not of God, but of Michael.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God’s grace.

When one has love for God, one doesn’t feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.

Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world.

If triangles had a god, they would give him three sides.

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 blind-folded fear.

Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.

I’m a Christian, and I give the glory to God.

God knows Himself and every created thing perfectly. Not a blade of grass or the tiniest insect escapes His eye.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.

He 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.

God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.

God 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.

I 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.

I 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.

God had to create disco music so I could be born and be successful.

Donna Summer
God will have a humble people. Either we can choose to be humble, or we can be compelled to be humble.

Brennan Manning
It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes.

God may not play dice with the universe, but something strange is going on with the prime numbers.

Paul Erdos
Take heed, then, often to come together to give thanks to God, and show forth His praise. For when you assemble frequently in the same place, the powers of Satan are destroyed, and the destruction at which he aims is prevented by the unity of your faith.

Cast your cares on God; that anchor holds.

Frank Moore Colby
The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God.

God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.

Martin Farquhar Tupper
I believe in one power, and that is the hand of God. I respect all religions.

There is a strange kind of human being in whom there is an eternal struggle between body and soul, animal and god, for dominance. In all great men this mixture is striking, and in none more so than in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Alfred Einstein
Religion is meant to teach us true spiritual human character. It is meant for self-transformation. It is meant to transform anxiety into peace, arrogance into humility, envy into compassion, to awaken the pure soul in man and his love for the Source, which is God.

The romantic love we feel toward the opposite sex is probably one extra help from God to bring you together, but that’s it. All the rest of it, the true love, is the test.

William Wilberforce

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

You don’t look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Remember, life itself is a mission. While we are on the go, we need to stop between steps to re-focus on the Word and the Will of God. While we are on the go, I mean, while we are on the mission, we need to sometimes stop at intervals to assess our progress and prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead.

God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.

If God had intended us to fly, he’d have never given us railways.

Michael Flanders
The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life – just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I’m doing what I’m doing. I just thank Him. I don’t know how I deserve it, but it’s completely because of Him.

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, that means guns, sex, lies, video tapes, but if I talk about God my record won’t get played Huh?

The 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.

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

I believe in God. I am not ritualistic but I do pray every day.

Before me, even as behind, God is, and all is well.

John Greenleaf Whittier
