Righteousness Quotes

Anger is a divinely implanted emotion. Closely allied to our instinct for right, it is designed to be used for constructive spiritual purposes. The person who cannot feel anger at evil is a person who lacks enthusiasm for good. If you cannot hate wrong, it’s very questionable whether you really love righteousness Picture Quote #1

I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there Picture Quote #1

We have no excuse to deviate from the paths of righteousness. If we hold fast to the iron rod, we cannot be deceived Picture Quote #1

The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood. The militancy of women has harmed no human life save the lives of those who fought the battle of righteousness Picture Quote #1

Kindness is not like a barter, so much for so much; or so much by contract, and my duty done. But kindness is like a righteousness or like a worship, not done unless it be done all I can. For the heart must run forth without measure like a child, and kindness be wound around like a child’s arms about the neck, not by measure, but as tightly and as long as they can be Picture Quote #1

We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid Picture Quote #1

Many have been deceived by outward appearances and have proceeded to write and teach about good works and how they justify without even mentioning faith... Wearying themselves with many works, they never come to righteousness Picture Quote #1

Let us preach righteousness, and practice it. I do not wish to preach what I do not practice Picture Quote #1

To give oneself ernestly to securing righteousness and justice among the people, and while respecting the gods and demons, to keep aloof from them, that may be called wisdom Picture Quote #1

Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He’s either all of your righteousness or none Picture Quote #1

The last degree of honesty has always been, and is still considered incompatible with statesmanship. To hunger and thirst after righteousness has been naturally, as it were, supposed a disqualification for affairs Picture Quote #1

Righteousness is a fuel that, when it has some pitch in it of ambitious rivalry and the damper’s left open to envy’s draught, makes a hot enough fire to cook somebody’s goose in quite a hurry Picture Quote #1

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it Picture Quote #1

It is a confession of the weakness of our own faith in the righteousness of our cause when we attempt to suppress by law those who do not agree with us Picture Quote #1

There is no mercy in trading life for life. And certainly no righteousness. Mercy, once given, cannot be taken back Picture Quote #1

When you want to become free, your righteousness and anger are much less interesting than they used to be Picture Quote #1

Punishment when awarded with due consideration, makes the people devoted to righteousness and to works productive of wealth and enjoyment Picture Quote #1

Not only the adoration of images is idolatry, but also trust in one’s own righteousness, works and merits, and putting confidence in riches and power. As the latter is the commonest, so it also is the most noxious Picture Quote #1

The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness Picture Quote #1

This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified Picture Quote #1

If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations. When there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world Picture Quote #1

If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy Picture Quote #1

My description of wisdom has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is to do with being wise in one’s own virtue, nothing more. My description of being has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is that one should be led by one’s innate nature, nothing more Picture Quote #1

Righteousness, or justice, is, undoubtedly of all the virtues, the surest foundation on which to create and establish a new state. But there are two nobler virtues, industry and frugality, which tend more to increase the wealth, power and grandeur of the community, than all the others without them Picture Quote #1

The great consolation of righteousness is never having to worry whether you’re a bore Picture Quote #1
