Inquiry is human; blind obedience brutal. Truth never loses by the one but often suffers by the other Picture Quote #1

Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action Picture Quote #1

Obedience is the fruit of faith; patience is the early blossom on the tree of faith Picture Quote #1

If obedience is not rendered in the homes, we shall never have a whole city, country, principality, or kingdom well governed. For this order in the homes is the first rule; it is the source of all other rule and government Picture Quote #1

Faith enables us to obey when obedience is costly or seems unreasonable to the natural mind Picture Quote #1

Men are not corrupted by the exercise of power or debased by the habit of obedience, but by the exercise of a power which they believe to be illegal and by obedience to a rule which they consider to be usurped and oppressive Picture Quote #1

If your men grow weary of the work or balk at obedience, you must bear with them. Get what you can gently from them. True, it is good to be firm in attaining your goal, but use appropriate, attractive, and agreeable means Picture Quote #1

In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things Picture Quote #1

Women are told from their infancy, and taught by the example of their mothers, that a little knowledge of human weakness, justly termed cunning, softness of temper, outward obedience and a scrupulous attention to a puerile kind of propriety, will obtain for them the protection of man Picture Quote #1

If you give orders and explain nothing, you might get obedience, but you’ll get no creativity. If you tell them your purpose, then when your original plan is shown to be faulty, they’ll find another way to achieve your goal. Explaining to your men doesn’t weaken their respect for you, it proves your respect for them Picture Quote #1

We have solved, by fair experiment, the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason and the serious convictions of his own inquiries Picture Quote #1

Those who keep the masses of men in subjection by exercising force and cruelty deprive them at once of two vital foods, liberty and obedience; for it is no longer within the power of such masses to accord their inner consent to the authority to which they are subjected. Those who encourage a state of things in which the hope of gain is the principle motive take away from men their obedience, for consent which is its essence is not something which can be sold Picture Quote #1

How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master’s bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done Picture Quote #1

It may be laid down as a general rule, that their confidence in and obedience to a government, will be commonly proportioned to the goodness or badness of its administration... Various reasons have been suggested in the course of these papers, to induce a probability that the general government will be better administered than the particular governments Picture Quote #1

Every state begins in compulsion; but the habits of obedience become the content of conscience, and soon every citizen thrills with loyalty to the flag. The citizen is right; for however the state begins, it soon becomes an indispensable prop to order Picture Quote #1

To me, the essence of keeping the soul nourished is obedience to one’s conscience. I don’t think that the soul can be nourished unless people have a strong sense of conscience that they have educated and developed and soaked in the universal and timeless principles of integrity and service. This way, the individual’s soul becomes part of the universal soul of service, contribution, and making a difference Picture Quote #1

Religion is more like response to a friend than it is like obedience to an expert Picture Quote #1

I advance with obedience to the work, ready to retire from it whenever you become sensible how much better choice it is in your power to make Picture Quote #1

No principal is so noble, as there is none more holy, than that of a true obedience Picture Quote #1

Love naturally reverses the idea of obedience, and causes the struggle between any two who truly love each other to be, not who shall command, but who shall yield Picture Quote #1

Light is a special help to obedience, and obedience is a singular help to increase light Picture Quote #1

Obedience indeed is only the pitiful and cowardly egotism of him who thinks that he can do something better than reason Picture Quote #1

Obedience, we may remember, is a part of religion, and therefore an element of peace; but love which includes obedience is the whole Picture Quote #1

Be it remembered that we command nature, as it were, by obeying nature’s laws; so the woman who would control her husband does so through obedience Picture Quote #1
