[i]Two vast and trunk-less legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away. On the pedestal these words are inscribed:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€

Off the top of my head, there are some sayings I like that relate to Christianity:
The Babel fish is small, yellow, leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy absorbing unconscious frequencies and excreting a matrix of conscious frequencies to the speech centres of the brain. The practical upshot of which is that if you stick one in your ear you instantly understand anything said to you in any language.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D.
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys. -----The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ------ Mark Twain

"Why do men put a question mark where God has already put a period?"
"Faith sees the invisible and accomplishes the impossible."
"There are no people in hell that don't believe in God."
(Explanation-Because once people die they see God before they are sentenced to either heaven or hell.)

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

Footsteps in the Sand
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one beloning to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life there is
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most
you would leave me."
The Lord replied "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffereing,
when you see only one set of footprints in the sand,
it was then that I carried you." -by Unknown Author

A friend of mine was on the Bible quizzing team for our church as a kid. He would jump up at an answer he thought he knew, and if he blanked out, he'd just say, "Um . . . God," and sit down. I suppose He is the ultimate answer. I mean, besides 42.
Another friend, an agnostic, once stated that he was such because he had "the sneaking suspicion that the universe has a sleeve and there's something up it."

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened. ---The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
...sorry, digression. So, in the spirit of being on topic:
"It is absurd for the evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything." ---G.K. Chesterton

I like that one.
Weelll, here's one from St. Augustine, a dude I'm reading for my Poli Theory class. He's full of awesome Christian sayings.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

The New school Prayer
[font="Lucida Console"][SIZE="2"][SIZE="3"][font="Arial"]B][color="White"][color="Magenta"][font="Fixedsys"][B]okay, i got this off the internet, it is amazing and very true, give me some comments on it.
It is titled the New School Prayer.
[[color="White"]CENTER]Now I sit me down in school
where praying is agaist the rule
Fot this great nation under GOD
Finds mention of Him very odd
IF SCRIPTURE NOW THE CLASS RECITES,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I vow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
OUR HAIR CAN BE PURPLE, ORANGE OR GREEN,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all
In silence alone we must meditate,
GOD'S name is prohibited by the state.
WE'RE ALLOWED TO CUSS AND DRESS LIKE FREAKS,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
WE CAN GET THIS OF WHICH CANT BE TOLD
Study witchcraft, vampires, and totem poles
BUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED,
No word of GOD must reach this crowd.
IT'S SCARY HERE I MUST CONFESS,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent pela I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen![/align][/SIZE][/SIZE][/font]

Actually, the law does not prohibit prayer in schools. It only says that prayer cannot be school sponsored/school led/mandatory. The idea that prayer has been outlawed generally comes from Christians who want to feel persecuted. For example, in China, Christians actually can't lawfully pray at all; saying that it is persecution to be unable to force others to pray in America trivializes real persecution.
My intention is not to be mean, but that distortion bothers me.

[i]Two vast and trunk-less legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away. On the pedestal these words are inscribed:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€

Thank you, Anna. I just got over having this talk with someone in my church who thinks Christians are being persecuted here. My response - Go to Sudan, North Korea, or Afghanistan. -____-;; You can pray any time you feel like it in school. Also, many Christian toss out the "prayer should be in schools" card without really knowing what they're saying. Mandatory prayer in schools is putting God in the hands of liberal atheists to distort and twist as much as they want. That would most likely also mean praying to Buddha as well to be fair to the other kids or including God as some kind of universal diety who is the same other god - hence the many rivers one well theory or whatever they're calling it now. Not trying to diss the thread, but I just think these issues deserve more thought than just writing up cute devotionals along the "us against the world" line.
As for what the sayings mean:
"GOD Himself does not propose to judge a man 'till he is dead, so why should we?"- unknown
That's a good one to remember. A lot of times we think we have someone so figured out, we're all ready to condemn them, and then God does something in life that makes them change. Just shows that you shouldn't pass judgment on people, because you're not God.
"For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For an attractive face, speek words of kindness. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone" - unknown
Um... well... this isn't really a Christian saying. It's nice, but I mean Buddhists, Hindis, and atheists do all those things too. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of "fortune cookie" devotionals (which now would probably be a good time to exit this thread before MSP manifests XD). The last line is good and can be applied to walking in Christ wherever He leads you.
