Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
C.S. LewisThe eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.

It was a subtle refinement of God to learn Greek when he wished to write a book – and that he did not learn it better.
Friedrich NietzscheIf you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.
Dorothy ParkerI talk to God but the sky is empty.
Sylvia PlathIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinYou can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
