"Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since."

"When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late."

"The world is charged with the grandeur of God."

"I could never work out whether we were to view religion as a life-insurance policy or a life sentence. I can understand a wrathful God who'd just as soon dangle us all from a hook. And I can understand a tender, unprejudiced Jesus. But I could never quite feature the two of them living in the same house. You wind up walking on eggshells, never knowing which... is at home at the moment."

"All Christian language about the future is a set of signposts pointing into a mist."

"He believed in God even if he was doubtful of men's claims to know God's mind. But that a God unable to forgive was no God at all."

"You will face your greatest opposition when you are closest to your biggest miracle."

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."

"‎Those who aren't following Jesus aren't his followers. It's that simple. Followers follow, and those who don't follow aren't followers. To follow Jesus means to follow Jesus into a society where justice rules, where love shapes everything. To follow Jesus means to take up his dream and work for it."

"To me, religion is about our dignity, not our depravity."

"I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer."

"Yevgeny Yevtushenko: 'You atheist?'"Kingsley Amis: 'Well, yes, but it's more that I hate him."

"I take leave to contradict those who say that salvation is an evolution! All that ever can be evolved out of the sinful heart of man is sin-and nothing else! Salvation is the free gift of God, by Jesus Christ, and the work of it is supernatural. It is done by the Lord Himself, and He has power to do it, however weak, no, however dead in sin, the sinner may be!"

"For me, religion is like a rhinoceros: I don't have one, and I'd really prefer not to be trampled by yours."

"Why are those who are notoriously undisciplined and unmoral also most contemptuous of religion and morality? They are trying to solace their own unhappy lives by pulling the happy down to their own abysmal depths."

"To know much and taste nothing-of what use is that?"

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."

"Create your own path.Don't blindly follow the massess... because most of the time the "M"is silent."

"Mayonnaise: One of the sauces which serve the French in place of a state religion."
