God-Quotes
"Our realization of God is a distinctly personal and intimate matter... Unless it is personal and very intimate, we can have no real understanding of God..." - Anonymous "God cannot and will not help anyone who will not make the conscious effort to help himself. But, when you do make the effort and are doing your level best--and remember that your "best" is better than you have ever done--then will help be given you to continue along the path, for with the effort and continued effort you make, your soul will gradually be freed from the shackles that now bind it to the false conceptions and begin to express freely and perfectly, drawing from the infinite source of power for all it needs and requires to keep going, producing and creating the power you require..." - Royle Thurston "God within me is the source and substance of my supply and I prosper abundantly..." - Robert H. Bitzer "What then! seeing that most of you are blinded, should therenot be some one to fill this place, and sing the hymn to God onbehalf of all men? What else can I that am old and lame do butsing to God? Were I a nightingale, I should do after the mannerof a nightingale. Were I a swan, I should do after the manner ofa swan. But now, since I am a reasonable being, I must sing toGod: that is my work: I do it, nor will I desert this my post, aslong as it is granted me to hold it; and upon you too I call to join in this self-same hymn. - Epictetus "That invulnerable spark of vivid life, that ”inward light” which these men find at their own centres when they seek for it, is for them an earnest of the Uncreated Light, the ineffable splendour of God, dwelling at, and energising within the heart ofthings: for this spark is at once one with, yetseparate from, the Universal Soul." - Evelyn Underhill "Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise." - Phillips Brooks. "But remember that extreme altruism is no better and no nobler than extreme selfishness; both are mistakes. Get rid of the idea that God wants you to sacrifice yourself for others and that you can secure his favor by doing so. God requires nothing of the kind. What God wants is that you should make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others. And you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way." - Wallace D. Wattles. "God acts in history: that is, God provides ideas, methods, and experiences intended to bring comprehension to man, an understanding heart, a conscious life." -- Jacob Needleman "Religion is a defense against the experience of God." -Carl Gustav Jung Return from God-Quotes to Inspirational Quotes
