God

And malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man.

Malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man.

The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can, not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.

I pray to God I get inside a girl's head one day and see what in the WORLD they are thinking.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

God is everywhere.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

God primes the pump of obligation.

If the greatest god is the stillness all the motions add up to, then we must ineluctably be included.

Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It's like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.

The institution of marriage works better when there's a spiritual connection. If you're marrying just for the sake of the woman, then you may lose interest in each other very soon. When we marry in the interest of the Holy Spirit with the intention of serving God and humanity, then it gives a much larger perspective.

If a novelist tells you something she knows or thinks, and you believe her, that is not because either of you think she is God, but because she is doing her work - as a novelist.

All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction.

If you hack the Vatican server, have you tampered in God's domain?

I often feel that my days in New York City, that I was here for five years, didn't get one job, went on a thousands of auditions and literally did not get a job on a soap, not a movie, not TV, not nothing, although I did do some commercials thank God.

Every morning I wake up and thank God.

God is waiting for us, to forgive us all, and what is broken, he'll fix.

I always feel I'm blessed, you know. I thank God for letting me use his voice. That's how I see it.

I know that God is good, and he saved me from hell and damnation.

I never really got paid for 'Tell It Like Is,' but I look back at it and say God knew what he was doing, he probably figured that if I had got money back in them days, I wouldn't be here now. That's okay. I'm here. And I'm still singing the song.

It's up to God to do the judging. You haven't walked in my boots, so how are you going to judge me?

I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan.

I'm more comfortable writing traditional protagonists. But 'Steve Jobs' and 'The Social Network' have antiheroes. I like to write antiheroes as if they're making their case to God about why they should be allowed into heaven. I have to find something in that character that is like me and write to that.

Whenever I read a script, I start recasting the role that I might play. I'm like, 'God, this should be played by Domhnall Gleeson, not me.'

God manifests himself in each historical period according to the understanding of the people of the era.

It is up to God to reveal a religion, but up to us to understand and realise it.

Muslims are not bloodthirsty people. Islam is a religion of peace that forbids the killing of the innocent. Islam also accepts the Prophets, whether those prophets are Mohammed, God's peace and blessing be upon Him, or Moses or the other prophets of the Books.

I told the students that we can exert pressure without resorting to violence, and that we can move towards democracy without violence, that way, God will allow it.

It's only Western civilization that, God forbid, you talk about dying, when it's the only thing we know for certain, right? Everyone's going to die, so what's the big problem? 'Oh, God. Don't talk about it. Don't think about it.' I mean, I'm one of them. I'm not a big fan of talking about dying.

By the grace of God, my parents were fantastic. We were a very normal family, and we have had a very middle-class Indian upbringing. We were never made to realise who we were or that my father and mother were huge stars - it was a very normal house, and I'd like my daughter to have the same thing.

I don't believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings, I have never believed in mannats.

When I first started playing the banjo and miraculously fell into a record deal in Nashville, TN, there was a period when I didn't go to China. It hurt. Like a pain in my gut... that pain you feel when you know it's time to connect with your parents or your God or your child or your past or your future... and you don't do it.

God, for example, appealed to me as a beardless man wearing a quilted silk cap, holiness was something burning, forbidding, something connected with fire while a day had the form of an oblong box.

If you study the Talmud you please God even more than you do by praying or fasting.

God the first garden made, and the first city Cain.

Our fates are in the hands of An Almighty God, to whom I can with pleasure confide my own, he can save us, or destroy us, his Councils are fixed and cannot be disappointed, and all his designs will be Accomplished.

He who is satisfied has never truly craved, and he who craves for the light of God neglects his ease for ardor.

God is of no importance unless He is of supreme importance.

God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.

Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God.

The issue of prayer is not prayer, the issue of prayer is God.

Worship is a way of seeing the world in the light of God.

He who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side, my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.

We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.

Look at the Afghans, during the time of the Soviet invasion. They were among the poorest Muslims in the world, yet they were sustained by their faith in God, and God alone.

Muslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone.

Do not get elated at any victory, for all such victory is subject to the will of God.

Do not look down upon any Muslim, for even the most inferior believer is great in the eyes of God.

God blesses him who helps his brother.

He who builds a masjid in the way of Allah, God will build a house for him in the paradise.

He who prays five times a day is in the protection of God, and he who is protected by God cannot be harmed by anyone.

If you expect the blessings of God, be kind to His people.

There is greatness in the fear of God, contentment in faith of God, and honour in humility.

There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.

When you advise any person you should be guided by the fear of God.

As a revelation from God, they have stood the test of many ages, and as such maintained their ground against every species of enemy, and every mode of attack. Truth is mighty, and must prevail.

If you go forward in the spirit of the original apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, trusting not in man but in the living God, he will enable you to pull down the strong holds of sin and Satan, and that work by which he is pleased will prosper in your hands.

If you be faithful, you will have that honor that comes from God: his Spirit will say in your hearts, Well done, good and faithful servants.

It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.

Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works, for this faith worketh by love, as the apostle says, and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.

Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.

The Bible is proved to be a revelation from God, by the reasonableness and holiness of its precepts, all its commands, exhortations, and promises having the most direct tendency to make men wise, holy, and happy in themselves, and useful to one another.

The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, said an eminent scholar, have God for their Author, the Salvation of mankind for their end, and Truth without any mixture of error for their matter.

This perfection is the restoration of man to the state of holiness from which he fell, by creating him anew in Christ Jesus, and restoring to him that image and likeness of God which he has lost.

To be filled with God is a great thing, to be filled with the fullness of God is still greater, to be filled with all the fullness of God is greatest of all.

What happened to me is I gained a little weight so I could be more accessible to people. They're not like, 'Oh my God, he's, like, a male model comedian, yuck, ugh.' It's like, 'Oh, he's a little squishy, He's like me. He's accessible.' And girls are like, 'Look how cuddly he is. I just want to cuddle up in his neck fat and go to sleep.'

Terrorists convince thousands of people to kill themselves in the name of God. I can't convince two of my friends to help me move.

What if God's a woman? Not only am I going to hell - I'll never know why!

Christians believe that God is everywhere and is involved in our lives at every moment, whether we publicly acknowledge God or not.

As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.

Everything doesn't happen for a reason, if by this we mean evil is a part of God's plan. But God does ensure that evil will not prevail and that light will always, ultimately, overcome the darkness. If we follow God's lead, our work is to push back the darkness.

God's role in superintending our world and our lives is neither absentee landlord nor micromanager.

God seeks to influence humanity. This is at the heart of the Christmas story. It is the story of light coming into the darkness, of a Savior to show us the way, of light overcoming the darkness, of God's work to save the world.

If 'everything happens for a reason,' then every act of evil is ultimately God's doing.

If God is not sending earthquakes, destroying economies and inflicting pain upon human beings, what is God doing? God works through people, calling them to help their neighbors in need. God comforts His people, walking with them even 'through the valley of the shadow of death.'

Many Christians do not believe God sends tornadoes. But they do believe that God walks with His children through the storms, that He sends His people to help after the storms, and that with and through God, there is always hope.

The story of Noah, like other stories in the first 11 chapters of Genesis, are archetypal. Noah's story tells us that human beings have an inherent tendency towards violence both towards their fellow human beings and towards the creation itself. The story tells us that this violence grieves God.

Why did the earthquake and tsunami occur in Japan? Was it the act of an angry God? No, it was the result of the movement and collision of the earth's tectonic plates - a process driven by the earth's need to regulate its own internal temperature. Without the process that creates earthquake, our planet could not sustain life.

I have patterned myself after my father and God.

God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell.

I'm actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend.

As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel, so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger, but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex.

God gives us relatives, thank God, we can choose our friends.

I remember vividly one distinct memory of arriving in Hong Kong and being the only blonde haired girl in this sea of international students, and thinking, 'Oh, my God. There's no hiding here.'

I was adopting an Ethiopian child, that's not true. My house was haunted, that wasn't true. God, there's been so many rumours.

The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I'm writing about, and that's why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, 'Oh my God, this song is totally about me.'

Amboyna seems to present the most favorable opening. Fifty thousand souls are there perishing without the means of life, and the situation of the island is such that a mission there established might, with the blessing of God, be extended to the neighboring islands in those seas.

Blessed be God, that we live in these latter times - the latter times of the reign of darkness and imposture. Great is our privilege, precious our opportunity, to cooperate with the Saviour in the blessed work of enlarging and establishing his kingdom throughout the world.

God is to me the Great Unknown. I believe in Him, but I find Him not.

God is waiting to be gracious, and is willing to make us happy in religion, if we would not run away from him. We refuse to open the window shutters, and complain that it is dark.

I never was deeply interested in any object, I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything, but it came at some time - no matter how distant, in some way, in some shape, probably the last I should have devised, it came. And yet, I have always had so little faith. God forgive me.

I take leave of Prome and her towering god, Shwa Lan-dau, at whose base I have been laboring with the kindest intentions for the last three months and a half. Too firmly founded art thou to be overthrown at present, but the children of those who now plaster thee with gold will yet pull thee down, nor leave one brick upon another.

Let us die as soon as possible, and by whatever process God shall appoint. And when we are dead to the world, and nature, and self, we shall begin to live to God.

My prospects for life, though in a measure shaded with uncertainty, hardship and danger, are very animating and bright. My prospects for another life, blessed be God, are still brighter.

Of how much real happiness we cheat our souls by preferring a trifle to God! We have a general intention of living religion, but we intend to begin tomorrow or next year. The present moment we prefer giving to the world.

See the hand of God in all events, and thereby become reconciled to His dispensations.

Perhaps the secret of living a holy life is to avoid every thing which will displease God and grieve the Spirit, and to be strictly attentive to the means of grace.

The Israelites frequently forsook God, and he as frequently forsook them. But when they repented and returned to him, he remembered his covenant and delivered them from their distresses.

The world is yet in its infancy, the gracious designs of God are yet hardly developed. Glorious things are spoken of Zion, the city of our God. She is yet to triumph and become the joy and glory of the whole earth.

We cannot sit still and see the dear Burmans, flesh and blood like ourselves and, like ourselves, possessed of immortal souls that will shine forever in heaven or burn forever in hell - we cannot see them go down to perdition without doing our very utmost to save them. And thanks be to God, our labors are not in vain.

We have this consolation, that it was the evident dispensation of God which brought us to this country, and still further, that if the world was all before us, where to choose our place of rest, we should not desire to leave Burmah.

No matter how many flaws we have, our God is so forgiving and understanding. He'll never leave you or forsake you. So that brings peace to me.

God always strives together with those who strive.

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.

God loves to help him who strives to help himself.

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.

When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.

Whenever a man makes haste, God too hastens with him.

There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.

An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?

'Let God be true but every man a liar' is the language of true faith.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.

God, I mean I had so many people tell me, 'What you're doing doesn't work.' I used to have to get on stage and apologize for talking the way that I speak.

I was getting in my own way. I would quit jobs and step out on hope and faith, and pray to God that I would book something that would allow me to just continue to act.

Beloved are Israel, for they were called children of God, still greater was the love in that it was made known to them that they were called children of God, as it is written, 'Ye are the children of the Lord your God.'

At home, we never used to perform pujas every day. But God has always been there in the hearts.

My father used to see God in human beings and in his work. Each person has his own way.

Youth is a lifestyle, it's not a blessing from God. If we treat our bodies as if they are not the most precious things we possess, then obviously we will show wear and tear. We're like a good pair of jeans. If we take care of them, they'll remain classic forever, but if we batter and abuse them they'll look like tattered old rags.

Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June.

My views about God come from my dad. Dad told me that he believed Nature, which to him included humankind, to be so beautiful, so magnificent, that there had to be something behind it all.

Some of George W. Bush's friends say that Bush believes God called him to be president during these times of trial. But God told me that He/She/It had actually chosen Al Gore by making sure that Gore won the popular vote and, God thought, the Electoral College. 'That worked for everyone else,' God said.

There's plenty of room for humor in politics, God knows, but it's a serious business.

Love is a deception and a trap. Love is as big a myth that God sits with his flowing white beard in a throne and looks at us.

There was one theory put forth by a journalist recently. I have a lot of friends that have died prematurely and a lot of friends that have died of natural causes. I've lost a lot of people over the years. This journalist basically recommended to me that God keeps me around because I amuse him.

I'm not religious in any formal sense, not in any God sense.

My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.

You believe in God, then you don't believe anymore and when you have a big problem, you pray anyway.

I get a little upset, yeah, if a year goes by and I don't get a script. Thank God I have other interests that keep me from becoming a nervous wreck.

God is a frequency. Stay tuned.

Guilt: punishing yourself before God doesn't.

The Act of God designation on all insurance policies, which means, roughly, that you cannot be insured for the accidents that are most likely to happen to you.

Doing something because God has said to do it does not make a person moral: it merely tells us that person is a prudential believer, akin to the person who obeys the command of an all-powerful secular king.

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.

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.

I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.

Our first responsibility is not to ourselves. Our first responsibility is to our country and to our God.

As a scientist, I don't believe science will ever discover whether God exists. Nor do I believe religion will ever prove it.

Except for a God who sits down after the universe begins, all other gods conflict with the assumptions of science.

War never accomplishes anything. It's never going to look good in the history books. People are never going to look back and think, 'He started a lot of wars, what a great leader he was!' That's not the way it works. God knows how many more of these things we're going to need before it starts to sink in.

People used to name me the Brazilian Pistorius. Thank God I'm not the Brazilian Pistorius any more. I'm Alan.

In Russia we had to have special visas in our passports, and when we had to show our passports at the Kremlin gates, we realized that, Oh my God, we're actually playing in THE Kremlin!

God forgives us... who am I not to forgive?

A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

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.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

It does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God.

The Bible, as a revelation from God, was not designed to give us all the information we might desire, nor to solve all the questions about which the human soul is perplexed, but to impart enough to be a safe guide to the haven of eternal rest.

I don't know, I guess they'll never make another 'Nemo.' I see they're making another 'Monsters, Inc.' I had a wonderful idea for them. I swear to God, I think there could be a great sequel to 'Nemo' where the fish never will leave home. He just won't leave. 'Getting Rid of Nemo.' Right, 'You're 30 years old! Get out of here!'

Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

God always takes the simplest way.

God does not play dice.

God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

I want to know all Gods thoughts, all the rest are just details.

Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

I borrowed 100 pounds and made the pact with God: Make me a millionaire - and you can have half of my money.

To be able to keep the promise I made to God, I think that keeps me going. No matter how much the money had been, I would have always fulfilled my promise, as that's the way I am.

God is the Man, and there's another Man, Stan 'The Man' Musial in St. Louis.

He means as much as Roberto Clemente does to Latin people. Thank God I had the opportunity to know him. I wish my kids had the opportunity to be around him, because that's how I want my kids to live their lives. I want them to be like Stan Musial. Not the baseball player. The person. That's the respect I have for that man.

I always say God doesn't need me, but I need Him in my life to survive in this world and over temptation. That's Who keeps me humble every time.

I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.

If something happens to me tomorrow, I'm going to go to Heaven, and that's for sure because God's promised to us in the Bible.

The kids look at me, 'Ah, you're my hero.' I want to teach those kids. 'Hey listen, God is my hero. He died on the cross for my sins, and He's the one. That's how I wanna live - like Him - and I want you guys to do the same thing.

Put your faith in God and confidence in yourself.

The artist is chosen by God to fulfill his commands and must never be overwhelmed by public opinion.

Why has God given me such magnificent talent? It is a curse as well as a great blessing.

I find it difficult to believe that God would want us to strip the courts of their powers to interpret the laws of this land, albeit with the divergent opinions. I shudder that my colleagues do not understand the dynamics of the Federal judiciary.

Man thinks, God directs.

Those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.

God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.

There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.
