Quotes on god
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Brooks, Garth
God, that dumping ground of our dreams.
Rostand, Jean
Experience has repeatedly confirmed that well-known maxim of Bacon's that "a little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." At the same time, when Bacon penned that sage epigram... he forgot to add that the God to whom depth in philosophy brings back men's minds is far from being the same from whom a little philosophy estranges them.
Santayana, George

Carlin, George
Let God's promises shine on your problems.
Boom, Corrie Ten
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Hugo, Victor
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
Shakespeare, William
As we learn more and more about the universe, there seems less and less for God to do ... When Newton explained the motion of the planets by the universal theory of gravitation, it no longer was necessary for angels to push and pummel the planets about. When Pierre Simon, the Marquis de Laplace, proposed to explain the origin of the solar system - although not the origin of matter - in terms of physical laws as well, even the necessity for a god involved in the origins of things seemed profoundly challenged.
Sagan, Carl
In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish courageously to pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where God comes from. And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and decide that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question? Or, if we say that God has always existed, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed?
Sagan, Carl
A lot of people are willing to give God credit, but so few ever give Him cash.
Harris, Robert E.
Were there no God, we would be in this glorious world with grateful hearts and no one to thank.
Rossetti, Christina
"What do you think of God," the teacher asked. After a pause, the young pupil replied, "He's not a think, he's a feel."
Frost, Paul
If the Universe really [is] made for us, if there really is a benevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient God, then science has done something cruel and heartless, whose chief virtue would perhaps be a testing of our ancient faiths. But if the Universe is heedless of our aspirations and our destiny, science provides the greatest possible service by awakening us to our true circumstances. In accord with the unforgiving principle of natural selection, we are charged with our own preservation - under penalty of extinction.
Sagan, Carl
If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
Allen, Woody
For light I go directly to the Source of light, not to any of the reflections.
Pilgrim, Peace
Some people talk about finding God - as if He could get lost.
Unknown, Author
As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree" - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
Dickinson, Emily
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.
Voltaire
You can tell the size of your God by looking at the size of your worry list. The longer your list, the smaller your God.

I could not say I believe. I know! I have had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.
Allen, Woody
A simple and irrefutable argument to knock creationism on its ass: (1) Humans are a mistake - subproof: opposable thumbs and enlarged brain capacity are the combined number one factor in the increasingly speedy destruction of planet Earth. (2) God doesn't make mistakes. (3) Therefore, God couldn't have created people.
Garrulitas, Cassus
Life is God's novel. Let him write it.
Singer, Isaac Bashevis
Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.
