Let me know if you have a quote that you'd like to see included in this mod's Flavor Quotes (that quote you choose when you found a religion).

Here's what we have at the moment:


If you comprehend, it is not God.
Augustine


God does not think, he creates; God does not exist, he is eternal.
Soren Kierkegaard


God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
1 John


What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
A.W. Tozer


No matter how bad things are, a person is only one choice away from fixing it all.
Gary Randall


It may be the Devil or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody.
Bob Dylan


You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
Augustine


In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
Bob Dylan


I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C.S. Lewis


I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
Bob Dylan


None of us feels the true love of God till we realize how wicked we are. But you can't teach people that - they have to learn by experience.
Dorothy Sayers


If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC
Kurt Vonnegut


Objective evidence and certitude are doubtless very fine ideals to play with, but where on this moonlit and dream-visited planet are they found?
William James


Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
C.S. Lewis


"I wish I had never been born," she said. "What are we born for?"

"For infinite happiness," said the Spirit. "You can step out into it at any moment..."
C.S. Lewis


There are some things I may not know
There are some places I cannot go
But I am sure of this one thing
That God is real
For I can feel Him in my soul
Mahalia Jackson


No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it - no place to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather.
George MacDonald


If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose my beliefs are true... and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.
J.B.S. Haldane


It makes a tremendous emotional and practical difference to one whether one accepts the universe in the drab discolored way of stoic resignation to necessity, or with the passionate happiness of Christian saints.
William James


I hold to faith in the divine love - which, so many years ago for a brief moment in a little corner of the earth, walked about as a man bearing the name of Jesus Christ - as the foundation on which alone my happiness rests.
Goethe


If this life be not a real fight, in which something is eternally gained for the universe by success, it is no better than a game of private theatricals from which one may withdraw at will.

But it feels like a real fight.
William James


I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I'll always hear my name
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand
Bob Dylan


There is nothing stranger in the history of religion than the sight of Buddha founding a worldwide religion, and yet refusing to be drawn into any discussion about eternity, immortality, or God.
Buddha (Will Durant, Our Oriental Heritage)


That a few simple men should in one generation have invented so powerful and appealing a personality, so lofty an ethic and so inspiring a vision of human brotherhood, would be a miracle far more incredible than any recorded in the Gospels.
Will Durant


Love one another. My final lesson of history is the same as that of Jesus.

You may think that's a lot of lollipop but just try it. Love is the most practical thing in the world. If you take an attitude of love toward everybody you meet, you'll eventually get along.
Will Durant


We want, in fact, not so much a Father in Heaven as a grandfather in heaven - a senile benevolence who, as they say, 'liked to see young people enjoying themselves' and whose plan for the universe was simply that it might be truly said at the end of each day, 'a good time was had by all'.
C.S. Lewis


Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious.
Albert Einstein


No matter how far our spiritual culture may continue to progress, no matter how much the natural sciences may grow, becoming ever more profound and more inclusive, no matter how much the human spirit may will to expand, that human spirit will never escape from the majesty and ethical sublimity of Christianity, as it shimmers and shines in the Gospels.
Goethe


All of our visible world is but an imperceptible speck in the great bosom of nature. No thought can go so far, it is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere, and whose circumference is nowhere. This is the most perceivable feature of the almightiness of God, so that our imagination loses itself in this thought.

The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.
Blaise Pascal


I think that yesterday was a crisis in my life. I finished the first part of Renouvier's second Essais and see no reason why his definition of free will - "the sustaining of a thought because I choose to when I might have other thoughts" - need be the definition of an illusion. At any rate, I will assume for the present - until next year - that it is no illusion. My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will.
William James


"In the midst of life we are in death," said one; it is more true that in the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality; what men call death is but a shadow - a word for that which cannot be - a negation, owing the very idea of itself to that which it would deny. But for life there could be no death. If God were not, there would not even be nothing. Not even nothingness preceded life. Nothingness owes its very idea to existence.
George MacDonald


There are moments of sentimental and mystical experience... that carry an enormous sense of inner authority and illumination with them when they come. But they come seldom, and they do not come to everyone; and the rest of life makes either no connection with them, or tends to contradict them more than it confirms them. Some persons follow more the voice of the moment in these cases, some prefer to be guided by the average results. Hence the sad discordancy of so many of the spiritual judgments of human beings.
William James


I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer


Late have I loved you, beauty so ancient and so new: late have I loved you. And see, you were within and I was in the external world and sought you there, and in my unlovely state I plunged into those lovely created things which you made. You were with me, and I was not with you. The lovely things kept me far from you, though if they did not have their existence in you, they had no existence at all. You called and cried out loud and shattered my deafness. You were radiant and resplendent, you put to flight my blindness. You were fragrant, and I drew in my breath and now pant after you. I tasted you, and I feel but hunger and thirst for you. You touched me, and I am set on fire to attain the peace which is yours.
Augustine


And is it true,
This most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an ox's stall?
The Maker of the stars and sea
Become a Child on earth for me?

And is it true? For if it is,
No loving fingers tying strings
Around those tissued fripperies,
The sweet and silly Christmas things,
Bath salts and inexpensive scent
And hideous tie so kindly meant,

No love that in a family dwells,
No carolling in frosty air,
Nor all the steeple-shaking bells
Can with this single Truth compare:
That God was man in Palestine
And lives today in Bread and Wine.
John Betjeman


Nothing is inexorable but love. Love that bends to prayer is imperfect and poor. Nor is it then the love that bends, but an alloy of love. Love does not grant a favor unwillingly; still less does it answer a prayer to the wrong or hurt of him who prays. Love is one and love is changeless.

Love loves unto purity.

Love only sees the absolute potential loveliness of whatever it beholds. Wherever an object''s loveliness is incomplete, love spends itself to make the object more lovely, so that it may love it more. Love strives for perfection through perfecting the object. Love itself becomes more perfect in the object. It was Love who first created humanity, so even human love, in proportion to its divinity, will go on creating the beautiful for its own outpouring.

There is nothing eternal but that which loves and can be loved. And Love is ever climbing towards the consummation when such shall be the universe. Therefore all that is not lovely or beautiful in the beloved, must be destroyed.

And our God is a consuming fire.
George MacDonald
