ANGEL QUOTES IV
quotations about angels
What is all this shit about angels? Have you heard this? Three out of four people now, believe in angels. What're you, fucking stupid? Has everybody lost their f***ing minds in this country? Angels, shit. You know what I think it is? I think it's a massive collective psychotic chemical flashback of all the drugs -- all the drugs -- smoked, swallowed, snorted, shot, and absorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990. Thirty years of adulterated street drugs'll get you some f***ing angels, my friend.
GEORGE CARLIN
"Angels", You Are All Diseased
Lord, give Thine angels every day / Command to guard us on our way / And bid them every evening keep / Their watch around us while we sleep / So shall no wicked thing draw near / To do us harm or cause us fear / And we shall dwell, when life is past / With angels round Thy throne at last.
JOHN M. NEALE
Hymns for Children
I ... believe that angels, or something like them, sometimes live among us, hidden within our fellow human beings.
JOHN PERRY BARLOW
The Death of Cynthia Horner
Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n with alleluias rang, when creation was begun, when God spoke and it was done.
JAMES MONTGOMERY
"Songs of Praise the Angels Sang"
The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.
FRANCIS BACON
"Of Goodness and Goodness in Nature", Essays
[Angels] aid us in our personal mission. We have to learn to listen, for if we block the angels out, they become only the fairy beings of dreams and pleasant stories.
SILVER RAVENWOLF
Angels
The angels may have wider spheres of action, may have nobler forms of duty, but right with them and with us is one and the same thing.
EDWIN HUBBELL CHAPIN
Living Words
Angels boast ethereal vigor, and are formed from seeds of heavenly birth.
VIRGIL
attributed, Day's Collacon
When God sends his angel to the soul it becomes the one who knows for sure.
MEISTER ECKHART
Sermon 9, The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church
Hey if God will send his angels / And if God will send a sign / And if God will send his angels / Would everything be alright?
BONO
"If God Will Send His Angels", Pop
Ambition first sprung from your blest abodes; The glorious fault of Angels and of Gods.
ALEXANDER POPE
Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady
Death is terrible, tho' borne on angels' wings!
WILLIAM BLAKE
King Edward the Third
Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
2 CORINTHIANS 11:14
If men were angels, no government would be necessary.
JAMES MADISON
The Federalist, Feb. 6, 1788
Angels have immense auras, extending in some cases, like a mountain Deva, for miles. The historical attribution of wings to angelics is probably the result of the subconscious minds of human seers "clothing" the auras of angels with a form that their conscious minds could comprehend.
DAVID GODDARD
The Sacred Magic of Angels
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Macbeth
Good angels are fallible ... they sin every day and fall from Heaven like flies.
ANATOLE FRANCE
The Revolt of the Angels
The angels must often be astonished at us and think we are the strangest creatures that well can be, yet they love us, and therefore they take a great interest in that Gospel that promotes our highest good.
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON
Spurgeon's Sermons on Angels
We are not alone in our struggles. We have help from beyond. Sometimes such help is wondrously manifested in encounters we cannot rationally explain. Sometimes such help is mysteriously conveyed through the hands and hearts of those we meet in the flesh. A corollary underpinning is like unto the first: Whether we recognize it or not, God wills good for all human beings. The key, of course, is whether we welcome the help and the holy intention.
DUKE TUFTY
"Voices of Faith: Does everyone have a guardian angel, even bad people?", Kansas City Star, March 4, 2016
We can all be angels to one another. We can choose to obey the still small stirring within, the little whisper that says, "Go. Ask. Reach out. Be an answer to someone's plea. You have a part to play. Have faith." We can decide to risk that He is indeed there, watching, caring, cherishing us as we love and accept love. The world will be a better place for it. And wherever they are, the angels will dance.
