Best Quotes about God

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.

This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.
