Sai BabaBecause one doesn't like the way things are is no reason to be unjust towards God.
Victor HugoI think its rather peculiar. It's not in keeping with our founding documents our founding vision. But I'd guess you'd have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform. There sure is a lot of mention of government so I guess I would put the onus on them to answer why they did all these purges of God.
Paul RyanDevelop the feeling of brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God.
Sai BabaI am also the target of such comments people do not understand the way of God. How can they know why particular event takes place at a particular time in a particular manner? He alone can know. But people try to sit in judgment and talk ill when for example one dies of illness at this place how can anyone escape death?

Henry Ward BeecherThe chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.

Alanis MorissetteHere is God's purpose - for God to me it seems is a verb not a noun proper or improper.

Sai BabaTwo prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.
Simone WeilI had rather believe all the fables in the Legend and the Talmud and the Alcoran than that this universal frame is without a mind. And therefore God never wrought miracle to convince atheism because his ordinary works convince it. It is true that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis BaconOnly one God is present in everyone. Never follow the differences basing on the differences of the body. There is no chance or scope for conflict.
Sai BabaI am an atheist out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.

Sai BabaFor Christians who believe they are created in the image of God it is the Godhead diversity in unity and the three-in-oneness of God which we and all creation reflect.

Billy GrahamGod rewards according to the manner in which He is conceived or approached He grants you consolation and courage Once you have cleansed yourself by tears.
Sai BabaIf God wants us to do a thing he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.

Sai BabaWe understand God by everything in ourselves that is fragmentary incomplete and inopportune.
Emile M. CioranIt is clear that he does not pray who far from uplifting himself to God requires that God shall lower Himself to him and who resorts to prayer not to stir the man in us to will what God wills but only to persuade God to will what the man in us wills.
Thomas AquinasGod Almighty first planted a garden, and indeed it is the purest of human pleasures.
Francis BaconGod has agents everywhere and their powers are vast.

Desmond TutuI say don't try to fight your own battles because God will do it.
Joel OsteenMan strays away into misery and pain because he loses the sense of value and runs after the temporary and the trivial. He ignores the voice of God which warns and guides him from within, and he pays the penalty for the transgression.
Sai BabaMost sermons sound to me like commercials - but I can't make out whether God is the Sponsor or the Product.

Saint Teresa of AvilaWho except the gods can live time through forever without any pain?
AeschylusChance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.
Anatole FranceThe reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
Martin LutherIf you do not feel the call at the sight of human distress disease or deviation from the right how can you muster the determination and dedication necessary to serve the unseen inscrutable mysterious God? When you do not love man your heart will not love God.

Mitt RomneyGod is the Sun and when His rays fall upon your heart not impeded by the clouds of egoism the lotus blooms and the petals unfold.
Sai BabaSo long as you say I am . there is bound to be fear but once you say and feel I am GOD you get unconquerable strength.
Sai BabaTHOSE who deny God the Supreme Will or the First Cause can give no real satisfactory justification for their stand, nor can those who assert that there is God. Both have to rely on their own experience. After all how can sweetness be denied by one who refuses to taste sugar? How can one be convinced that sugar is sweet until one tastes it? We have to feel the great marvel of energy manipulating both the minutest atom and cell and the vastest most distant star. How else can we understand the Omnipresence and Omnipotence except by accepting God as the Architect of the Cosmos?
Sai BabaSome people ... question the propriety of calling God by means of ... a multiplicity of names. But each name is indicative of only one aspect of Divinity. It denotes a single part of the Supreme Personality ... Every name is but a facet a part a ray of the Supreme.
Sai BabaSome will say Is not God alone the Prolific? I answer God only Acts & Is in existing beings or Men.

We have only to follow the heros path and where we had thought to find abomination we shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay another we shall slay ourselves... Where we had thought to travel outward we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone we will be with all the world.
Joseph CampbellIt is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
EpicurusI just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
Martin Luther King, Jr.But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van GoghHe didn't come out of my belly but my God I've made his bones because I've attended to every meal and how he sleeps and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John LennonThe highest revelation is that God is in every man.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.
