Godly Quotes (page 261)

Nothing, however, can be more arrogant, though nothing is commoner than to assume that of Gods there is only one, and of religions none but the speaker’s. Virginia Woolf
Anne Rice quote: "The old gods will bring about vengeance not so much because..."
The old gods will bring about vengeance not so much because they exist but because I once honored them. Anne Rice
Sigmund Freud quote: "Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God."
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. Sigmund Freud
So bring me this man, trembling and shivering from head to foot; let me fall into his arms or down at his knees; he will weep and we shall weep, he will be eloquent and I shall be comforted, and my heart shall melt into his, he will take my soul, and I his God. But what is this kindly old gentleman to me? And what am I to him? Just one more member of the race of unfortunates, one more shade to go with the many he has seen, one more figure to add to his total of executions. Victor Hugo
To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion, or empire above any realm, nation, or city, is repugnant to nature; contumely to God, a thing most contrary to his revealed will and approved ordinance; and finally, it is the subversion of good order, of all equity and justice. John Knox
Robert H. Schuller quote: "Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count..."
Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed. Robert H. Schuller
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "My friends have come to me unsought. The great God gave them..."
My friends have come to me unsought. The great God gave them to me. Ralph Waldo Emerson
In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God. Aeschylus
Now, there are many millions in their sects and churches who feel the order, 'Do thou,' and throw their weight into obedience. And there are millions more who feel predestination in 'Thou shalt.' Nothing they may do can interfere with what will be. But 'Thou mayest'! Why, that makes a man great, that gives him stature with the gods, for in his weakness and his filth and his murder of his brother he has still the great choice. He can choose his course and fight it through and win. John Steinbeck
If the sphere of paradox-religion is abolished, or explained away in aesthetics, an Apostle becomes neither more nor less than a genius, and then--good night, Christianity! Esprit and the Spirit, revelation and originality, a call from God and genius, all end by meaning more or less the same thing. Soren Kierkegaard
C. S. Lewis quote: "In our adversity, God shouts to us."
In our adversity, God shouts to us. C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis quote: "He (God) will have us even though we prefer everything else to..."
He (God) will have us even though we prefer everything else to Him because there is 'nothing better' now to be had. C. S. Lewis
Spirituality yields two fruits. The first in inspiration to know what to do. The second is power, or the capacity to do it. These two capacities come together. That's why Nephi could say, 'I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded' (1 Nephi 3:7). He knew the spiritual laws upon which inspiration and power are based. Yes, God answers prayer and gives us spiritual direction when we live obediently and exercise the required faith in Him. Richard G. Scott
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Lay me down like a stone oh God, and raise me up like a new..."
Lay me down like a stone oh God, and raise me up like a new bread". Leo Tolstoy
A man is born into this world with only a tiny spark of goodness in him. The spark is God, it is the soul; the rest is ugliness and evil, a shell. The spark must be guarded like a treasure, it must be nurtured, it must be fanned into flame. It must learn to seek out other sparks, it must dominate the shell. Anything can be a shell, Reuven. Anything. Indifference, laziness, brutality, and genius. Yes, even a great mind can be a shell and choke the spark. Chaim Potok
