• The tea party saved the Republican Party. In a broad sense, the tea party rescued it from being the fat, unhappy, querulous creature it had become, a party that didn't remember anymore why it existed, or what its historical purpose was. The tea party, with its energy and earnestness, restored the GOP to itself.

• The cynic makes fun of all earnestness; he makes fun of everything and everyone who feels that something can be done. . . . But in his heart of hearts he knows that he is a defeated man and that his cynicism is merely an expression of the fact that he has lost courage and is beaten.

  George Edgar Vincent

  Courage, Fun, Heart

• For the past thirty years or so, much American poetry has been marked by an earnestness that rejects the comic. This has nothing to do with seriousness. The comic can be very serious. The trouble with the earnest is that it seeks to be commended. It seeks to be praised for its intention more than for what it is saying.

• Lord, enable us to search our hearts and humble ourselves before Thee. Oh, for a closer walk with God, more faith, more sincerity, more earnestness, and more love. I must study more the Word of God. 'If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.' The Master said so, and His words are true.

  Alexander Murdoch Mackay

• We want to know not how we should pray if we were perfect but how we should pray being as we now are ... It is no use to ask God with factitious earnestness for A when our whole mind is in reality filled with the desire for B. We must lay before Him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.

• Los auspicios para la filosofía son malos si, al proceder ostensiblemente a la investigación de la verdad, comenzamos diciendo adiós a toda rectitud, honestidad y sinceridad, y nos proponemos sólo hacernos pasar por lo que no somos. Entonces asumimos, como esos tres sofistas [Fichte, Schelling y Hegel], primero un falso patetismo, luego una afectada y elevada seriedad, después un aire de infinita superioridad, para imponernos allí donde desesperamos de poder convencer jamás.

• ... nuestras becas deben otorgarse a aquellos cuya capacidad y seriedad en el departamento primario hayan sido probadas, y cuya capacidad para una educación superior esté plenamente demostrada.

• One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner--in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.
