The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom
Paulo Coelho
If there were no God, there would be no atheists.
G.K. Chesterton
What really matters is how God sees me. He isn't concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man's soul.
Billy Graham
God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'
Every year during their High Holy Days, the Jewish community reminds us all of our need for repentance and forgiveness.
The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.
It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief, as a smart man called it, there isn't even more fraud. After all, with no God, there's no one to ever call you to account, and no accounting at all if you can get away with it.
Ben Stein
I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?
Henry Ford
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone - except God.
The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.
Blaise Pascal
The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine
Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Franz Kafka
There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible that in any profane history.
Isaac Newton
In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.
Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.
William Shakespeare
I understood at a very early age that in nature, I felt everything I should feel in church but never did. Walking in the woods, I felt in touch with the universe and with the spirit of the universe.
Alice Walker
God's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world.
