For those who believe in God no explanation is needed; for those who do not believe in God no explanation is possible.
Father John Lafarge (b.1880) of the cures of Lourdes
A miracle may be accurately defined, a transgression of a law of nature by a particular volition of the Deity, or by the interposition of some invisible agent.
David Hume (1711-1776) Scottish philosopher, historian
God is character, a real and consistent being, or He is nothing. If God a miracle He would deny His own nature and the universe would simply blow up, vanish, become nothing.
Joyce Cary (1888-1957) British author.
Miracles are the swaddling-clothes of infant churches.
Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) English cleric.
If a man is a fool for believing in a creator, then he is a fool for believing in a miracle; but not otherwise.
G.K.Chesterton (1874-1936) British author.
What sort of God are we portraying and believing in if we insist on what I will nickname “ the divine laser beam” type of miracle as the heart and basis of the Incarnation and the Resurrection?
David Jenkins, Bishop of Durham (b.1925)
A miracle is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive; therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
A miracle is a work exceeding the power of any created agent, consequently being an effect of the divine omnipotence.
South.
A miracle I take to be a sensible operation, which being above the comprehension of the spectator, and in his opinion contrary to the established course of nature, is taken by him to be divine.
Locke.
Every believer is God’s miracle.
Bailey.
Miracles are ceased, and therefore we must needs admit the means how things are perfected.
Shakespeare.
Miracles are the educating expedients of the early periods of the world. As such they are divinely wise, but after they have served their purpose as such, it is foolish to pretend to have them.
H.W. Beecher
The human body, In its wonderful structure, is of itself a miracle of divine wisdom and power.
