I have many favourite Bible quotes. I can’t really say if there is a single one that always stands out more than the rest. But one that comes to mind is the following:

Colossians 3:1
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

My favourite ancient quote is the following:

The unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates

And C.S. Lewis is often regarded as a modern Christian philosopher. Here’s one of his quotes:

“Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.”
C.S. Lewis

And here are two old pop songs based on Bible quotes:

Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:

Psalm 137:1
By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.

And here’s a modern worship song based on a Bible quote:

Numbers 6:24-26
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."
