Ten Commandments Quotes

Doug Coupland quote: "Ten commandments yet seven deadly sins: conflict?"
Ten commandments yet seven deadly sins: conflict? Doug Coupland
You know, it's ironic to me that Christians want to keep the Ten Commandments in our schools, because Christianity has abrogated four of the Ten Commandments. For example, the Sabbath day according to the Ten Commandments is Saturday, not Sunday. And the reason is because God rested, not because Jesus was resurrected. Alan Dershowitz
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they..."
If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by the ten thousand commandments Gilbert K. Chesterton
Our modern world defined God as a ‘religious complex’ and laughed at the Ten Commandments as OLD FASHIONED. Then, through the laughter came the shattering thunder of the World War. And now a blood-drenched, bitter world — no longer laughing — cries for a way out. There is but one way out. It existed before it was engraven upon Tablets of Stone. It will exist when stone has crumbled. The Ten Commandments are not rules to obey as a personal favor to God. They are the fundamental principles... Cecil B. DeMille
I've traveled all over the country for years speaking in churches, teaching the Ten Commandments. It's amazing if 2 percent of any congregation knows the Ten Commandments. Randall Terry
If I could go back to a point in history to try to get things to come out differently, I would go back and tell moses to go up the mountain again and get the other tablet. Because the Ten Commandments just tell us what we are supped to do with one another, not a word about our relationship to the earth. Genesis starts with these commands: multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. We have multiplied very well, we have replenished our populations very well, we have subdued it all too... David R. Brower
All of the Ten Commandments that are good were old; all that were new art foolish. If Jehovah had been civilized he would have left out the commandment about keeping the Sabbath, and in its place would have said: "Thou shalt not enslave thy fellow-men." He would have omitted the one about swearing, and said: "The man shall have but one wife, and the woman but one husband." He would have left out the one about graven images, and in its stead would have said: "Thou shalt not wage wars of... Robert Green Ingersoll
Isaac Bashevis Singer quote: "If Moses had been paid newspaper rates for the Ten..."
If Moses had been paid newspaper rates for the Ten Commandments, he might have written the Two Thousand Commandments. Isaac Bashevis Singer
The Ten Commandments are the most visible symbol because these commandments are recognized by Christians and Jews alike as being the foundation of our system of public morality. Pat Robertson
Say what you will about the ten commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them. H. L. Mencken
Zig Ziglar quote: "If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He..."
If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments. Zig Ziglar
Malcolm Bradbury quote: "If God had been a liberal, we wouldn't have had the Ten..."
If God had been a liberal, we wouldn't have had the Ten Commandments - we'd have the Ten Suggestions. Malcolm Bradbury
I read the Bible and know little of its history, but the human beings who wrote it were instruments of Divine Power, and Jesus forged a far stronger bond than the ten commandments: love. Birds and monkeys, or any of God's creatures, obey their instincts and merely do what they're programmed to do. In the case of the human being, things are more complicated because we know about love and its traps. Paulo Coelho
A person who is fundamentally honest doesn't need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs. Harry S. Truman
The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted; precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden. Gilbert K. Chesterton
