If you’re having relationship problems, confess to God not Facebook. ~ Unknown
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. ~ Albert Einstein
Many people choose to believe that God communicates in special ways and only with special people. This removes the mass of the people from responsibility for hearing My message, much less receiving it (which is another matter), and allows them to take someone else’s word for everything. You don’t have to listen to Me, for you’ve already decided that others have heard from Me on every subject, and you have them to listen to. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Maybe there isn’t a God after all, maybe there’s only a universe rotating by itself like a millstone. ~ Gao Xingjian
What shall I do, if all my love, My hopes, my toil, are cast away, And if there be no God above, To hear and bless me when I pray? ~ Anne Bronte
All powers, all laws, are but the fair Embodied thoughts of God. ~ John Stuart Blackie
I cannot help thinking that the best way of knowing God is to love many things. Love this friend, this person, this thing, whatever you like, and you will be on the right road to understanding Him better. Vincent Van Gogh
God is dead: but considering the state of the species Man is in, there will perhaps be caves, for ages yet, in which his shadow will be shown. ~ Friedrich Nietzche
Be careful how you talk about God. He’s the only God we have. If you let him go he won’t come back. He won’t even look back over his shoulder. And then what will you do? ~ Harold Printer
And almost every one when age, Disease, or sorrows strike him, Inclines to think there is a God, Or something very like Him. ~ Arthur Hugh Clough
Earth’s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries, And daub their natural faces unaware. ~ Elizabeth Barett Browning
Be careful how you talk about God. He’s the only God we have. If you let him go he won’t come back. He won’t even look back over his shoulder. And then what will you do? ~ Harold Printer
There is a God and He is good, and his love, while free, has a self imposed cost: We must be good to one another. ~ George Bush
God is a foreman with certain definite views Who orders life in shifts of work and leisure. ~ Seamus Heaney
Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit, But God to man doth speak in solitude. ~ John Stuart Blackie
God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. ~ William Cowper, Olney Hymns
At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father. ~ Sigmund Freud, Totem and Taboo
God is a foreman with certain definite views Who orders life in shifts of work and leisure. ~ Seamus Heaney, Docker
Where sanity is there God is. ~ D.H. Lawrence, “God”
God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state; our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer–the intuitions of the soul. ~ Henry Ward Beecher, Life Thoughts
God is a shower to the heart burned up with grief; God is a sun to the face deluged with tears. ~ Joseph Roux, Meditations of a Parish Priest
We need not fear shipwreck when God is the pilot. ~ Henry Ward Beecher, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
To seek God within ourselves avails us far more than to look for Him amongst creatures. ~ Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle
We seem to think that God speaks by seconding the ideas we’ve already adopted, but God nearly always catches us by surprise. If it’s God’s Spirit blowing, someone ends up having feathers ruffled in an unforeseen way. God tends to confound, astonish, and flabbergast. ~ Sue Monk Kidd, When the Heart Waits
Without the assistance of that Divine Being … I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail. ~ Abraham Lincoln, speech, Feb. 11, 1861
God speaks to souls through words uttered by pious people, by sermons or good books, and in many other such ways. Sometimes he calls souls by means of sickness or troubles, or by some truth He teaches them during prayer, for tepid as they may be in seeking Him, yet God holds them very dear. ~ Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle
God speaks silently, he speaks in your heart; if your heart is noisy, chattering, you will not hear. ~ Caryll Houselander, This War is the Passion
Everything flows from God, but we are limited by imposing our human perceptions upon him. Man designs God according to his own image and the image man has of himself is flawed. ~ Tobsha Learner, The Witch of Cologne
