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.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

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.

She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.

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

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

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.

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.

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.

Perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is to choose a notable and joyous dress for men. There would be more joy in life if we were to accustom ourselves to use all the beautiful colours we can in fashioning our own clothes.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

I give thanks to God and to all the people in the U.K. who have supported me over the years.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

I thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.

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.

God has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

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.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

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

God always has patience.

For me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of ‚passive action,‘ the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.

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

What was God doing before the divine creation?

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

A dark cloud is no sign that the sun has lost his light; and dark black convictions are no arguments that God has laid aside His mercy.

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.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

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

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.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.

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

Heaven means to be one with God.

Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God.

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it’s not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?

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

In legal language, a covenant generally denotes an agreement between two or more parties. But in a religious context, a covenant is much more significant. It is a sacred promise with God. He fixes the terms.

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.

Any colour – so long as it’s black.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

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

There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that’s important.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

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.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

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.

But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

Everything is subject to change except God Himself.

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life’s sores the better.

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

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.

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