Creation is a miracle of daily recurrence. ‚A miracle a minute‘ would not be a bad slogan for God.

I think audiences are quite comfortable watching something coming into being.

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.

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

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that’s their gift.

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.

It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

God’s first creature, which was light.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I’m just trying to create a good one for myself.

I used to read five psalms every day – that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

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

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

I wish that the Indians believed me a god, for upon the report of an enemy’s valor oftentimes depends the success of a battle, and false reports have many times done as great things as true courage and resolution.

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.

God to me is love.

I don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.

People often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

Worry – a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Heaven means to be one with God.

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.

Only the supernatural love of God through changed lives can solve the problems that we face in our world.

And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God… They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

What was God doing before the divine creation?

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.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

In the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it’s there complete in the mind, if only at the back.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 – for albums, anyway.

Allah’s the Arabic term for God. Stand up for God, fight for God, work for God and do the right thing, and go the right way, things will end up in your corner.

God spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say.

The whole order of things is as outrageous as any miracle which could presume to violate it.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

God’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
