Miracles are like jokes. They relieve our tension suddenly by setting us free from the chain of cause and effect.

GERALD BRANAN

attributed, Get Unstuck!


It would actually constitute more than a miracle, he realized. It would take divine intervention plus luck, plus some unknown element of cosmic wizardry.

A miracle can be defined as: An event that appears to be contrary to the laws of nature and is regarded as an act of God. Or, an event or action that is totally amazing, extraordinary or unexpected. But the true meaning of a miracle can be explained very simply. It's a change of perception. Think about that for a moment.

Miracles don't happen. You make them happen. They're not wishes or dreams or candles on a cake.

A miracle is like an accident, and if the same accident keeps happening all the time, then somebody's making a point, aren't they?

How grateful I am that the day of faith and the age of miracles are not past history but continue with us even now.

THOMAS S. MONSON

LDS Church News, January 3, 2018


Miracles, when considered in a general, abstract manner--that is, when divested of all circumstances, and supposed to occur as disconnected facts, to stand alone in history, to have no explanations or reasons in preceding events, and no influence on those which follow--are indeed open to great objection, as wanton and useless violations of nature's order; and it is accordingly against miracles, considered in this naked, general form, that the arguments of infidelity are chiefly urged. But it is great disingenuity to class under this head the miracles of Christianity. They are palpably different. They do not stand alone in history, but are most intimately incorporated with it. They were demanded by the state of the world which preceded them, and they have left deep traces on all subsequent ages. In fact, the history of the whole civilized world, since their alleged occurrence, has been swayed and colored by them, and is wholly inexplicable without them.

It is at least scientifically respectable to postulate that at the centre of a black hole the laws of nature no longer apply. Since most scientists are just a bit religious and most religious are seldom wholly unscientific we find humanity in a comical position. His scientific intellect believes in the possibility of miracles inside a black hole while his religious intellect believes in them outside it.

Miracles are like meatballs, because nobody can exactly agree on what they are made of, where they come from, or how often they should appear.

The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.

I don't believe in miracles, but if the need is great, a girl might make her own miracle.

The world was made of miracles, unexpected earthquakes, storms that came from nowhere and might reshape a continent. The boy beside her. The future before her. Anything was possible.

Miracles are like stakes supporting the young tree; when grown, trained, established, of what use are stakes or miracles?

ROBERT ASKWITH TAYLOR

The Bulwark, January 1874


Believe in your heart that you're meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.

ROY T. BENETT

The Light in the Heart


For we cannot listen to those who maintain that the invisible God works no visible miracles; for even they believe that He made the world, which surely they will not deny to be visible. Whatever marvel happens in this world, it is certainly less marvelous than this whole world itself.

A man who saw a miracle would reject his eyes' witness, if those with him saw nothing.

Miracles are like winning the lottery, they always happen to other people.

Miracles are like pimples, because once you start looking for them, you'll find more than you ever imagined possible.

In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in such parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue; which is of itself a strong presumption that in the infancy of letters, learning and science, or in the world's non-age, those who confided in miracles, as a proof of the divine mission of the first promulgators of revelation, were imposed upon by fictitious appearances instead of miracles.
