God

I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination – the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life. – Charles Spurgeon

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes. – Thomas Carlyle

Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times. – Sigmund Freud

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us. – Blaise Pascal

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me. – Meister Eckhart

Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything. – Marcus Tullius Cicero

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil. – Thomas Carlyle

What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man. – Edmund Burke

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God. – Mary Manin Morrissey

I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God – I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least. – Walt Whitman

We make our friends we make our enemies but God makes our next door neighbour. – Gilbert K. Chesterton

God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person. – Saint Teresa of Avila

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him. – Blaise Pascal

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head. – Gilbert K. Chesterton

Einstein, stop telling God what to do! – Niels Bohr

I will thank God for the day and the moment I have. – Jim Valvano

If there is no God, everything is permitted. – Fyodor Dostoevsky

God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see. – Frank Lloyd Wright

God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God. – Ramakrishna

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. – Isaac Asimov
