Reading some of these passages, I think these are the most comforting to me, as I am new at this, I haven't read the whole bible......
For those of you more educated at this then I, feel free to post what your favorite quotes are...

This is pretty comforting to me so far, these are from revelations...

1: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2: In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3: And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5: And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6: And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7: Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Not a "real" holy quote, but one I like.

Goes something like this:

"...and as I walked through the valley of darkness, I knew I shall not fear no evil, as I was the meanest mother#er in the valley..."

Your damned if you do and your damned if you don't!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

not a religious person but this is one of my fave bible quotes:

The lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.

from Psalm 23, too lazy to write the whole thing out. sorry

i look at it this way;

the lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

meaning, god is my protector, no matter how hard it gets, i will still survive and find ways to make ends meet.

I don't think it is literal...just as the rest of the bible. It doesn't mean I will never have a need or want. Just that when i do need or want, the lord will provide in one way or another.

btw, remember i am not a christian, nor do I consider the bible the only holy book, but this psalm has been in my memory for as long as I can remember.

It's just weird that it sounds as if the author is being sarcastic....

"that lord is my sheppard" I shall "not" want.......

I can't get over that.. I know what you mean, but my brain doesn't get it...

don't worry much of the bible is like that, say things open for many possible interpretation, contradictions,etc.

i still like the quote though

And what if the holy quotes are not from the bible???

"There is no god." - Me

I'm an atheist

Well what if, I don't care...

Im looking for quotes of spirituality and faith that bring you peace and comfort...

The following lines in the Bible changed my life. And reading I hope you see why(its out of Luke 23:39 - ...):

And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And one of those robbers who were hanged blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing; thou art under the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done no evil.
And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee: This day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

May God grant thee peace

In the beginning was the word, and the word was bullshit!

Since Qur'an is a Holy Book too, here is my fav:

" Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who believes in God, and believes in the Last Day, and leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve. " Qur'an, 2:62

My signature is my favorite holy quote.
i also like phillipians 3.

A Witches Bible is also a holy book.

"An it harm none, do as ye will"

Well I was going to do the holy handgrenade from monty python but I think Ill put this down instead.
