Godly Quotes (page 198)

This is why Paul upholds the teaching of the gospel in such a forceful way ... Seeing such an example and such a picture of man’s great weakness and fickleness, Paul states that the truth of the gospel must supersede anything that we may devise … he is showing us that we ought to know the substance of the doctrine which is brought to us in the name of God, so that our faith can be fully grounded upon it. Then we will not be tossed about with every wind, nor will we wander about aimlessly,... John Calvin
You cannot evade the issue of God, whether you are talking about pigs or the binomial theory...Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "If I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt..."
If I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt is up in heaven now.' That's my favorite joke. Kurt Vonnegut
The divine is God's concern; the human, man's. My concern is neither the divine nor the human, not the true, good, just, free, etc., but solely what is mine, and it is not a general one, but is -- unique, as I am unique. Nothing is more to me than myself! Max Stirner
Benjamin Franklin quote: "Fear God, and your enemies will fear you."
Fear God, and your enemies will fear you. Benjamin Franklin
To believe that God created a plurality of worlds, at least as numerous as what we call stars, renders the Christian faith at once little and ridiculous; and scatters it in the mind like feathers in the air. Thomas Paine
Oswald Chambers quote: "When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not..."
When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him. Oswald Chambers
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "If there were no God, there would be no atheists."
If there were no God, there would be no atheists. Gilbert K. Chesterton
What in me is dark. Illumine, what is low raise and support, That to the height of this great argument. I may assert eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men. 1 Paradise Lost. Book i. Line 22. John Milton
Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba… Hunter S. Thompson
Have times really changed? Don't we today, as always, love our children and want them to live righteously? Don't we today, as always, need God's divine protecting care? Don't we today, as always, continue to be at his mercy and in his debt for the very life he has given us? Thomas S. Monson
Contemplation means rest, suspension of activity, withdrawal into the mysterious interior solitude in which the soul is absorbed in the immense and fruitful silence of God and learns something of the secret of His perfections less by seeing than by fruitive love. Thomas Merton
Their drift away from others produced a selfish privacy and they had lost the refuge and the consolation of a clan. Baptists, Presbyterians, tribe, army, family, some encircling outside thing was needed. Pride, she thought. Pride alone made them think that they needed only themselves, could shape life that way, like Adam and Eve, like gods from nowhere beholden to nothing except their own creations. She should have warned them, but her devotion cautioned against impertinence. As long as Sir... Toni Morrison
Janet Evanovich quote: "Holy Mary, mother of God," my mother said. "You were being..."
Holy Mary, mother of God," my mother said. "You were being chased by Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and a rabbit. Janet Evanovich
Comparing what we're looking for misses the point. It's wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we're going out the way we came in. That's why you can't believe in the afterlife, Valentine. Believe in the after, by all means, but not the life. Believe in God, the soul, the spirit, the infinite, believe in angels if you like, but not in the great celestial get-together for an exchange of views. If the answers are in the back of the book I can wait, but what a drag. Better to struggle... Tom Stoppard
