We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work.

Quote: Christianity is completed Judaism or it is nothing.

Author: Benjamin Disraeli 1804-1881, British Statesman, Prime Minister


Quote: No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual's individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol -- cross or crescent or whatever -- that symbol is man's reminder of his duty inside the human race.

Author: Florence King 1936-, American Author, Critic

Author: C. S. Lewis 1898-1963, British Academic, Writer, Christian Apologist


Quote: There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians.

Author: Thomas B. Macaulay 1800-1859, American Essayist and Historian

Quote: Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.

Author: Friedrich Nietzsche 1844-1900, German Philosopher


Quote: Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them -- I can write in letters which make even the blind see.

Quote: To be like Christ is to be a Christian.

Author: William Penn 1644-1718, British Religious Leader, Founder of Pennsylvania


Quote: The great difference between present-day Christianity and that of which we read in these letters is that to us it is primarily a performance, to them it was a real experience. To these men it is quite plainly the invasion of their lives by a new quality of life altogether. They do not hesitate to describe this as Christ ''living in'' them.

Author: James Phillips


Quote: Christianity is a battle not a dream.

Author: Wendell Phillips 1811-1884, American Reformer, Orator


Quote: Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity as by one who practices it.

Author: Peace Pilgrim 1908-1981, American Peace Activist

Quote: Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life.

Quote: Here I swear, and as I break my oath may eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity! It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge. Oh, how I wish I were the Antichrist, that it were mine to crush the Demon; to hurl him to his native Hell never to rise again -- I expect to gratify some of this insatiable feeling in Poetry.

Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822, British Poet
