Moses Quotes

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

—Bible (Old Testament)

The law of Moses is harsh and severe, as for an enslaved and stubborn people, but it punishes theft with a fine, not death. Let us not think that in his new law of mercy, where he treats us with the tenderness of a father,God has given us greater license to be cruel to one another.

—More, SirThomas

And the L spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.

—Bible (Old Testament)

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

—Bible (Old Testament)

And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

—Bible (Old Testament)

So Moses the servant of the L died there in the land of Moab† but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

—Bible (Old Testament)

Of the people of Moses there is a nation who guide by the truth, and by it act with justice.

—The Koran

Life is not hurrying on to a receding future, nor hankering after an imagined past. It is the turning aside like Moses to the miracle of the lit bush, to a brightness that seemed as transitory as your youth once, but is the eternity that awaits you.

—Thomas, R(onald) S(tuart)
