“...if I die suddenly, my gravestone might appropriately offer this insight into my departure: "God got tired." I require lots of work.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“An ongoing relationship with God through His Word is essential to the Christian's consistent victory!”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“If God said it, I want to believe it. If God gives it, I want to receive it. If God shows it, I want to perceive it. If Satan stole it, I want to retrieve it.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“God’s specialty is raising dead things to life and making impossible things possible. You don’t have the need that exceeds His power.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Blessing is bowing down to receive the expressions of divine favor that in the inner recesses of the human heart and mind make life worth the bother.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“God is who He says He is. God can do what He says He can do. I am who God says I am. I can do all things through Christ. God’s Word is alive and active in me.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“For the most part we’ve dumbed-down New Testament Christianity and accepted our reality as theology rather than biblical theology as our reality. We’ve reversed the standard, walking by sight and not by faith. We want to be the best of what we see, but frankly what we see is far removed from God’s best.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Nothing on earth compares to the strength God is willing to interject into lives caught in the act of believing.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“We can always hope and pray diligently for a miracle. If, in God’s sovereignty, He chooses to accomplish His purposes another way, let it not be that we have not because we asked not (James 4:2) or that we have not because we believed not (Matt. 9:29).”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Your Promised Land is the place where God’s personalized promises over your life become a living reality rather than a theological theory.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Life is just a breath. All that will matter forever and ever in our heavenly state is the glory that came to God through our lives.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“God has so much for you, Dear One. And, yes, seasons will come when He requires so much from you that you feel like you can’t bear it. You do have a choice. You don’t have to do it His way. You can choose bitterness, resentment, carnality, or mediocrity. Or you can go for it. With everything you’ve got. You can experience the unmatched exhilaration of partnering in divine triumph. The stakes are high. The cost is steep. But I’ll promise you this: there is no high like the Most High.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“We cannot tame the Lion of Judah. There is a mystery, a wonder, and, yes, even a wildness about God we cannot take from Him.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“We’ve reversed the standard, walking by sight and not by faith. We want to be the best of what we see, but frankly what we see is far removed from God’s best.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“I don’t think the biggest threat to our theology is humanism or the host of world religions. Our biggest threat is cut-and-paste Christianity. If man places his faith in a god he has recreated in his own image, has he placed his faith in God at all? And if not, how can such a man be saved?”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“If we can come up with a God we can fully explain, we have come up with a different God from the Bible’s. We must beware of recreating an image of God that makes us feel better. Of this I’m certain: If in our pursuit of greater knowledge God seems to have gotten smaller, we have been deceived.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“To pick up the Sword of the Spirit without the Shield of Faith is to shrivel and dry up in the desert of legalism. To pick up the Shield of Faith without the Sword of the Spirit is to try walking by faith on quicksand.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“I don’t think the biggest threat to our theology is humanism or the host of world religions. Our biggest threat is cut-and-paste Christianity. If man places his faith in a god he has recreated in his own image, has he placed his faith in God at all?”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“If not for God’s compassion, His very presence in our midst would kill us. We really have little clue who we’re dealing with. The good news is: God wants us to seek Him and find Him.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Authentic faith cannot help but act.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“John 1:16: “From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“We will never take our places as “more than overcomers” with nothing to overcome. We will never be victors without opponents. As we will continue to see in our journey, God gave the Israelites the Promised Land but told them they’d have to take what was theirs in fierce battle. Why? Probably one reason was so they’d develop the strength to keep it once they conquered it. Surely another was to let them experience the thrill of victory that only a battle hard fought can bring. In God’s economy, much of what is worth having is proved worth fighting for.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“powerful motivation for believing God in our present is intentionally remembering how He’s worked in our past.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“What reason did God give Joshua for turning from fear and discouragement in the face of huge opposition? “The LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Josh. 1:9). When Jesus told His disciples not to be afraid in the storm, the reason wasn’t the removal of their frightful circumstances but the presence of their Savior. “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid” (Matt. 14:27).”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“You were meant to bring forth much fruit. You can be effective. Powerfully used. I’m talking to you. Not your preacher or Bible study teacher. Your legacy can still have an impact in a dozen generations if Christ tarries. You don’t have to look a certain way, receive a certain gift, attend a certain denominational church, practice a certain kind of ministry, or establish a nonprofit organization! All you need to be mighty in your generation is a shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God, Eph. 6:16–17). Through Christ you can absolutely, unequivocally do anything God places before you (Phil. 4:13).”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Every time we believe God, He credits it to our account as righteousness.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“He has a mind to do. Faith happens when believers believe. This book is about developing an action verb faith that invites the exhilaration of holy participation.”
― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“71. Rare Things-- A son-in-law who's praised by his wife's father. Likewise, a wife who's loved by her mother-in-law.
A pair of silver tweezers that can actually pull out hairs properly.
A retainer who doesn't speak ill of his master.
A person who is without a single quirk. Someone who's superior in both appearance and character, and who's remained utterly blameless throughout his long dealings with the world.
You never find an instance of two people living together who continue to be overawed by each other's excellence and always treat each other with scrupulous care and respect, so such a relationship is obviously a great rarity.
Copying out a tale or a volume of poems without smearing any ink on the book you're copying from. If you're copying it from some beautiful bound book, you try to take immense care, but somehow you always manage to get ink on it.
Two women, let alone a man and a woman, who vow themselves to each other forever, and actually manage to remain on good terms to the end.”
― Sei Shōnagon, quote from The Pillow Book
“Women always seemed to bring the size they wished they were to the fitting room, rather than the size that would actually fit.”
― Ann Brashares, quote from The Second Summer of the Sisterhood
“Saw you with my brother." His gaze moves over me. "Guess that explains your attraction to me-he looks just like me."
His cocky grin fading when I roll my eyes in reponse.
"Well,you sure spend a lot of time thinking about me-searching for me-don't you,Santos?" he says,determined to make me admit the ridiculous.
"Don't flatter yourself,Coyote. It's an occupational hazard.Purely job related.”
― Alyson Noel, quote from Fated
“As I recall, this word's use means somewhere there is a tree that is now a - a two-legger.
-Numair Salmalin”
― Tamora Pierce, quote from Wolf-Speaker
“Altogether, Olympia thinks the sight of herself satisfactory, but not beautiful: a smile is missing, a certain light about the eyes. For how very different a woman will look when she has happiness, Olympia knows, when her beauty emanates from a sense of well-being or from knowing herself to be greatly loved. Even a plain woman will attract the eye if she is happy, while the most elaborately coiffed and bejeweled woman in a room, if she cannot summon contentment, will seem to be merely decorative.”
― Anita Shreve, quote from Fortune's Rocks
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
