So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.
Bertrand RussellGod knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic… The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things.
Dolly PartonThere are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible that in any profane history.
Isaac NewtonThe Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.
Billy GrahamThe book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
Harper LeeThe most successful detectives owe their success to noticing small signs. Scouts are natural detectives and never let the smallest detail escape them. These small things are called by Scouts ‚Sign.‘
Robert Baden-PowellIn the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.
Desmond TutuUnless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.
Helen KellerDo not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
Jesus ChristI did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.
Mahatma GandhiI think Bible principles are principles for life.
Joel OsteenDeath wasn’t part of God’s original plan for humanity, and the Bible calls death an enemy – the last enemy to be destroyed.
Billy GrahamA lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.
Joel OsteenI don’t claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I’m home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, ‚Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.‘
Jimmy CarterChrist comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast.
Isaac NewtonTo what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible?
Queen Elizabeth III read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.
Virginia WoolfWhen the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said ‚Let us pray.‘ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.
Desmond TutuI tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus ChristThe Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.
Mark TwainThe Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.
Billy GrahamI am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.
Mr. TLife is so, so short. Bible says it’s like a vapor.
Muhammad AliTo see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John RuskinI was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me – they’re cramming for their final exam.
George CarlinI deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Joel OsteenI don’t have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful.
Billy GrahamI 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.
Billy GrahamThe greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world… to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John RuskinThe New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.
Billy GrahamI don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.
Kanye WestJesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.
Joyce MeyerThe violence in the Bible is appalling.
Christopher HitchensI have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.
Isaac NewtonIf only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Woody AllenThe language of all the interpretations, the translations, of the Judaic Bible and the Christian Bible, is musical, just wonderful. I read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.
Maya AngelouI read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.
Maya AngelouI used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.
Mr. TThe Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.
Martin LutherRonald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the End Times foreshadowed in the Bible.
Christopher HitchensWhen we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.
Jimmy CarterThe Bible is one of the most genocidal books in history.
Noam ChomskyI think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
Billy GrahamIt ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.
Mark TwainThe Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.
Billy GrahamA thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore RooseveltHmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.
Mr. TEvery day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.
Joyce MeyerYes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.
Joel OsteenThe Bible illustrated by Dore occupied many of my hours – and I think probably gave me many nightmares.
Eleanor RooseveltThe Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.
Joyce MeyerI have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.
Dylan ThomasAs the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Jesus ChristI’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.
Billy GrahamThe Bible tells us to be perfect. This is likely a scary thought for many people. It used to scare me. I didn’t think I could ever get there, no matter how hard I tried.
Joyce MeyerThis is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.
Joel OsteenI have two pairs of reading glasses. One pair is for reading fiction, the other for non-fiction. I’ve read the Bible twice wearing each pair, and it’s the same.
Steven WrightThe Bible is full of warnings about false prophets and false messiahs. These satanically inspired people have appeared in almost every generation of history.
Billy GrahamCommunism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.
Billy GrahamMy family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
