The attributes of God tell us what He is and who He is.

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.

The divine is perhaps that quality in man which permits him to endure the lack of God.

In the very traits of his temperament, which have a considerable effect on his life of soul, a person bears within him qualities and impulses that have an obvious connection with those of his physical ancestors.

It is good to have an intellectual awareness of our dependence upon God - to understand how great He is and how very small we are in His sight.

God is not anything human. God is a force, God is chaos, God is unknown. God is terror and enlightenment at the same time.

He must pull out his own eyes, and see no creature, before he can say, he sees no God; He must be no man, and quench his reasonable soul, before he can say to himself, there is no God.

What God wants is to reveal himself more fully to us.
