Upon Quotes

If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand Picture Quote #1

Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One Picture Quote #1

For this great sickness that is upon us no one person is responsible, and no Christian is wholly free from blame. We have all contributed, directly or indirectly, to this sad state of affairs. We have been too blind to see, or too timid to speak out, or too self-satisfied to desire anything better than the poor average diet with which others appear satisfied Picture Quote #1

And I was incapable of living all by myself in those lodgings where I didn't know a soul. It terrified me to sit by myself quietly in my room. I felt frightened, as if I might be set upon or struck by someone at any moment Picture Quote #1

Faith must precede all effort to understand. Reflection upon revealed truth naturally follows the advent of faith, but faith comes first to the hearing ear, not to the cogitating mind Picture Quote #1

Holiness, as taught in the scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness Picture Quote #1

Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason Picture Quote #1

Faith is the least self-regarding of the virtues. It is by its very nature scarcely conscious of its own existence. Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all Picture Quote #1

Mr Hawkins said nothing; the Hawkins' domestic affairs were arranged upon the principle that Fanny supplied the talk and he the silence Picture Quote #1

My whole being was seeking for something still unknown which might confer meaning upon the banality of life Picture Quote #1

I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils Picture Quote #1

To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living Picture Quote #1

The facts of history all appeared to me like specimens in a herbarium, permanently dried, so that it was easy to forget they had once upon a time been juicy with sap and alive in the sun Picture Quote #1

Society friendship and love divinely bestowed upon man, o had I the wings of a dove how soon I would taste you again Picture Quote #1

Am I to set my life upon a throw, because a bear is rude and surly? No - a moral, sensible, and well bred man, will not affront me, and no other can Picture Quote #1

Every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest should be indignantly frowned upon Picture Quote #1

When we don't pray, we quit the fight. Prayer keeps the Christian's armor bright. And Satan trembles when he sees. The weakest saint upon his knees Picture Quote #1

Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity Picture Quote #1

Our insight into the need of redemption will largely depend upon our knowledge of the terrible nature of the power that has entered our being Picture Quote #1

The root of all virtue and grace, of all faith and acceptable worship, is that we know that we have nothing but what we receive, and bow in deepest humility to wait upon God for it Picture Quote #1

There was a soft and pensive grace, a cast of thought upon her face, that suited well the forehead high, the eyelash dark, and downcast eye Picture Quote #1

Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life Picture Quote #1

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success Picture Quote #1

If you are ever called upon to chasten a person, never chasten beyond the balm you have within you to bind up Picture Quote #1

Democracies are indeed slow to make war, but once embarked upon a martial venture are equally slow to make peace and reluctant to make a tolerable, rather than a vindictive, peace Picture Quote #1

The weakling and the neurotic attached to his neurosis are not anxious to turn such a powerful searchlight upon the dark corners of their psychology Picture Quote #1
