Sayings about Bible:

Many particular facts are recorded in holy writ attested by particular pagan authors.
Joseph Addison
There is no passion that it is not finely expressed in those parts of the inspired writings which are proper for divine songs and anthems.
Joseph Addison
They who are not induced to believe and live as they ought, by those discoveries which God hath made in Scripture, would stand out against any evidence whatever; even that of a messenger sent express from the other world.
Francis Atterbury
The scope or purpose of the Spirit of God is not to express matters of nature in Scripture otherwise than in passage, for application to man’s capacity, and to matters moral and divine.
Francis Bacon
There was plainly wanting a divine revelation to recover mankind out of their universal corruption and degeneracy.
Dr. Samuel Clarke
And in that charter reads with sparkling eyes,
Her title to a treasure in the skies.
William Cowper
Carries her Bible tuck’d beneath his arm,
And hides his hands to keep his fingers warm.
William Cowper
Whence but from Heaven, could men unskill’d in arts,
In several ages born, in several parts,
Weave such agreeing truths? or how, or why
Should all conspire to cheat us with a lie?
John Dryden
Then for the style, majestic and divine,
It speaks no less than God in every line;
Commanding words; whose force is still the same
As the first fiat that produced our frame.
John Dryden
In comparison of these divine writers the noblest wits of the heathen world are low and dull.
Henry Felton
It is a belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life. I have found it a capital safely invested and richly productive of interest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A stream where alike the elephant may swim and the lamb may wade.
Gregory the Great
There is no book like the Bible for excellent learning, wisdom, and use.
Sir Matthew Hale
Revelation will soon be discerned to be extremely conducible to reforming men’s lives, such as will answer all objections and exceptions of flesh and blood against it.
Henry Hammond
All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more strongly the truths come from on high, and contained in the sacred writings.
Sir John F. W. Herschel
With whom ordinary means will prevail, surely the power of the word of God, even without the help of interpreters, in God’s church worketh mightily, not unto their confirmation alone which are converted, but also to their conversion which are not.
Richard Hooker
The reading of Scripture is effectual, as well to lay even the first foundation, as to add degrees of farther perfection, in the fear of God.
Richard Hooker
The little which some of the heathen did chance to hear concerning such matter as the sacred Scripture plentifully containeth, they did in wonderful sort effect.
Richard Hooker
Let this be granted, and it shall hereupon plainly ensue that the light of Scripture once shining in the world, all other light of nature is therewith in such sort drowned that now we need it not.
Richard Hooker
All those venerable books of Scripture, all those sacred tomes and volumes of holy writ, are with such absolute perfection framed.
Richard Hooker
The Scripture must be sufficient to imprint in us the character of all things necessary for the attainment of eternal life.
Richard Hooker
The Scripture of God is a storehouse abounding with inestimable treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Richard Hooker
As well for particular application to special occasions, as also in other manifold respects, infinite treasures of wisdom are abundantly to be found in the Holy Scriptures.
Richard Hooker
Whatsoever to make up the doctrine of man’s salvation is added as in supply of the Scripture’s insufficiency, we reject it.
Richard Hooker
The choice and flower of all things profitable in other books, the Psalms do both more briefly contain, and more movingly also express, by reason of that poetical form wherewith they are written.
Richard Hooker
I am heartily glad to witness your veneration for a Book which, to say nothing of its holiness or authority, contains more specimens of genius and taste than any other volume in existence.
Walter Savage Landor
Here there is milk for babes, whilst there is manna for Angels; truth level with the mind of a peasant, truth soaring beyond the reach of a Seraph.
Rev. Hugh Stowell
There are those that make it a point of bravery to bid defiance to the oracles of divine revelation.
Roger L’Estrange
That the holy Scriptures are one of the greatest blessings which God bestows upon the sons of men is generally acknowledged by all who know anything of the value and worth of them.
John Locke
All that is revealed in Scripture has a consequential necessity of being believed by those to whom it is proposed, because it is of divine authority.
John Locke
It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter: it is all pure, all sincere, nothing too much, nothing wanting.
John Locke
We should compare places of Scripture treating of the same point: thus one part of the sacred text could not fail to give light unto another.
John Locke
If internal light, or any proposition which we take for inspired, be conformable to the principles of reason or to the word of God, which is attested revelation, reason warrants it.
John Locke
It is not hard for any man who hath a Bible in his hands, to borrow good words and holy sayings in abundance; but to make them his own is a work of grace only from above.
John Milton
There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zion; no orations equal to those of the Prophets; and no politics like those which the Scriptures teach.
John Milton
I find more sure marks of the authenticity of the Bible than in any profane history whatever…. Worshipping God and the Lamb in the temple: God, for his benefaction in creating all things, and the Lamb, for his benefaction in redeeming us with his blood.
Sir Isaac Newton
There is no one book extant in any language or in any country which can in any degree be compared with it [the Bible] for antiquity, for authority, for the importance, the dignity, the variety, and the curiosity of the matter it contains.
Bishop Beilby Porteus
With the history of Moses no book in the world, in point of antiquity, can contend.
John Tillotson
In Job and the Psalms we shall find more sublime ideas, more elevated language, than in any of the heathen versifiers of Greece or Rome.
Dr. Isaac Watts
O may my understanding ever read
This glorious volume, which thy wisdom made.
Dr. Edward Young
