2 Quotes About Wrestling With God

Many people who wrestle with God, do not actually believe he exists. They think they are wrestling because there is a power that they want to control. Others wrestle with God because they think that if they give him control over their lives, he will change them and make them different than they really are. Gods and men and women and things and stars and all of those things have been created by those who wrestle with those things. And those things have been made to wrestle with other things. And so it goes on from place to place, from thing to thing, from being to being Read more

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God, and God was God. And everything else was created through this word, which is God. We fight with god, we fight with man, we fight with other things.

We fight with ourselves. We fight with nature and nature wins because we can't escape it. We must accept that which we cannot change, but struggle against what we can change.

The essence of life is change, nothing remains the same forever. Consider yourself a poet who wants to sing your experiences as you go along your way? A musician who wishes to play your own song as it happens? A warrior who wants to battle your enemy as you look for an opening? You are a part of this great play going on around you - a play that you have been given a tiny role in – a role no more important than any other – yet – a role that has been given you by the very same playwright! All of us are actors playing out our small part in a great drama – a fantastic story in which you are all participating! Or are you only pretending? This page is dedicated to all of us who know for ourselves that it is true! ************** This page contains many quotes by Thomas A Edison that deal with the world in general or events in our history or society or people that he dealt with or admired but one of the most memorable quotes is when Edison said "I am an optimist".

Ah, Toulouse, you have travelled too much. You know the gods of a hundred lands, those of the trees and mountains, the sky and sea, the stars and planets, of demons and angels, and even the Master of the Cosmos. But I am speaking of God. There are others, I’m sure, but only one God who created even great Zeus and Rama. Yet travel is like philosophy: a few years of it will perk the eye to differences, which you shall be able to notice with ease. Yet living as I have, travelling to lonely lands and through a thousand metropolises and hidden woods, you rather see the similarities. All becomes one, and God too becomes one. Not the sum of all those gods here, but beyond them, a being few philosophers have truly grasped. He has always been one, but he is severed in our minds. So it is up to us to piece him back together. If our souls possess a clarity beyond what our mortal nature can bestow, we shall see him. MaryJean Harris
