Peace if possible, truth at all costs.
Martin Luther
A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
C. S. Lewis
Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more; He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
The point of having an open mind, like having an open mouth, is to close it on something solid.
G.K. Chesterton
The Gospel is good news of mercy to the undeserving. The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.
John R. W. Stott
Everyone may be entitled to his own opinion but everyone is not entitled to his own truth. Truth is but one.
Doug Groothius
We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.
A. W. Tozer
Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.
C. S. Lewis
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald Chambers
O God, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need Thee.
John Donne
Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves?
Martin Luther
God has no more precious gift to a church or an age than a man who lives as an embodiment of his will, and inspires those around him with the faith of what grace can do.
Andrew Murray
If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to doubt….There is no believing without some doubting, and believing is all the stronger for understanding and resolving doubt.
Os Guinness
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
John Bunyan
I may no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather respond to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
Jim Elliot
It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.
C. S. Lewis

I love it when you post quotes! I’m a quote collector of sorts, and you always have quotes that have some “meat” to them – I enjoy them quite a bit!

Susan,
I’m so glad you enjoy the quotes! I’ve been collecting quotes for about twenty years. I love the ones that are meaty/profound or especially clever. 🙂
