Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

I think that man has a fundamental obligation to extract from himself and from the earth all that it can give; and this obligation is all the more imperative that we are absolutely ignorant of what limits – they may still be very distant – God has imposed on our natural understanding and power.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.

Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God.

White… is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black… God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

Risk is a part of God’s game, alike for men and nations.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

When God sneezed, I didn’t know what to say.

People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

Work is that which you dislike doing but perform for the sake of external rewards. At school, this takes the form of grades. In society, it means money, status, privilege.

In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.

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.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

I was a smart kid, but I hated school.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.

There’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

I have always believed in God.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

God answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.

It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

Personal success or personal satisfaction are not worth another thought if one does achieve them, or worth worrying about if they evade one or are slow in coming. All that is really worth while is action – faithful action, for the world, and in God.
