God has more important things to worry about than who I sleep with.
I wonder: when a Jehovah's Witness dies and goes to Heaven, does God hide behind the door and pretend He's not home?
The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him.
Style is not something applied. It is something that permeates. It is of the nature of that in which it is found, whether the poem, the manner of a god, the bearing of a man. It is not a dress.
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Every time we've gone somewhere, it's just been better and better and God's always blessed us for following.
I'm not denying that depression can be spiritually induced. Guilt from having wronged and hurt others can bring it on. A sense of having failed to live out the will of God can give rise to depression. Certainly the fear of death and what might follow can sap the joy out of life.
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
Plato stands for the union of truth and goodness in the supreme idea of God.
I mean, I would love to have the career Joan Baez is having in Europe right now, but God knows I don't begrudge her that career.
God is love, but get it in writing.
There's only one God. Call him whatever you want.
My book centers in on the New Testament, the goal being to help a person who wants to understand the Bible to see how what God did as revealed in the New Testament will reveal to them their own personal story.
Today the people from my State of Tennessee would listen to this debate, or even talk about a reference to God on our money or in the Halls of Congress or in our Pledge and say, please, let common sense and logic win the day and prevail versus legal mumbo jumbo.
Sometimes when, you know, God tries to correct you in private and if you don't catch it he'll correct you in public.
I have a strong belief that there is a god or a higher power. I think that if you have a strong belief in that, then you won't feel alone in life and you will feel you can get through anything.
There's a God force inside of you that gives you a will to live.
Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love, and then you dwell in God.
I loved being in the film called 'Carnal Knowledge' - the one with Jack Nicholson, which was very dark but a really brilliant movie. I loved being in 'The Ritz.' 'The Ritz' I think is just hilarious. I just saw it again recently and by God, it's still funny!
I believe that there is a universal presence that is the kind of magical undercurrent in life that we all feel and is connected in, through, and as everything. That's what I think God is.
Where it all will end, knows God.
There is a god within us.
The numerous evils to which individual persons are exposed are due to the defects existing in the persons themselves. We complain and seek relief from our own faults; we suffer from the evils which we, by our own free will, inflict on ourselves and ascribe them to God, who is far from being connected with them!
The American people are extraordinarily comfortable, affluent, and secure. It's easy for us to make the argument that God's purpose is being fulfilled through history and through the rise of American power. And to some degree, it probably is.
I do feel that federation, loose parallel processes, are less than we've got, less than we could have and, in the very long run, less than what God wants in the Church.
Believing that there is no God does not mean that there isn't one.
It's really live television, the way God meant it to be.
Young man, if God had wanted you to see me that way, he would have put your eyes in your bellybutton.
For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.
Cast your cares on God; that anchor holds.
Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.
Man, who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Nobody puts constraints on God. She doesn't like it.
You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.
We can only know one thing about God - that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it, the more we contemplate him.
Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.
