A.W. Tozer
Top 10 Best Quotes
“God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.”
“Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow.

“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts”
“To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.”
“Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.”

“Millions call themselves by His name, it is true, and pay some token homage to Him, but a simple test will show how little He is really honored among them.

Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time. Those other things will be exalted above. However the man may protest, the proof is in the choice he makes day after day throughout his life.”
“The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.”
“Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one”
“Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there.”
