Fervent Quotes - Page 4

• I know that charity covereth a multitude of sins; but it does not call evil good, because a good man has done it; it does not excuse inconsistencies, because the inconsistent brother has a high name and a fervent spirit; crookedness and worldliness are still crookedness and worldliness, though exhibited in one who seems to have reached no common height of attainment.

  Charles Spurgeon

• In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.

• Debes rezar con todas tus fuerzas. Eso no significa decir tus oraciones, o sentarte en la iglesia o en la capilla con los ojos muy abiertos mientras otro las dice por ti. Significa una lucha ferviente, eficaz e incansable con Dios. A este tipo de oración, ten por seguro que se opondrán el diablo, el mundo y tu propia naturaleza indolente e incrédula. Echarán agua sobre esta llama.

• Daily fervent prayers seeking forgiveness and special help and direction are essential to our lives and the nourishment of our testimonies. When we become hurried, repetitive, casual, or forgetful in our prayers, we tend to lose the closeness of the Spirit, which is so essential in the continual direction we need to successfully manage the challenges of our everyday lives. Family prayer every morning and night adds additional blessings and power to our individual prayers and to our testimonies.

• Cuántos hay que todavía dicen: 'Quiero ver Su forma, Su imagen, Su ropa, Sus sandalias'. He aquí, tú lo ves, tú lo tocas, tú lo comes. Queréis ver su ropa. Él se entrega a vosotros, no sólo para ser visto, sino para ser tocado, para ser comido, para ser recibido en ..... Que todos vosotros seáis ardientes, fervientes, entusiastas.

• Anyway that's a large part of what economics is - people arbitrarily, or as a matter of taste, assigning numerical values to non-numerical things. And then pretending that they haven't just made the numbers up, which they have. Economics is like astrology in that sense, except that economics serves to justify the current power structure, and so it has a lot of fervent believers among the powerful

• No cambiaría la risa de mi corazón por la fortuna de las multitudes; ni me contentaría con convertir en calma mis lágrimas, invitadas por mi yo agonizante. Es mi ferviente esperanza que toda mi vida en esta tierra sea siempre lágrimas y risas. Lágrimas que purifiquen mi corazón y me revelen el secreto de la vida y su misterio, Risa que me acerque a mis semejantes; Lágrimas con las que me una a los corazones rotos, Risa que simbolice la alegría por mi propia existencia.

• Furnish thyself with arguments from the promises to enforce thy prayers, and make them prevalent with God. The promises are the ground of faith, and faith, when strengthened, will make thee fervent, and such fervency ever speeds and returns with victory out of the field of prayer. The mightier any is in the Word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

• I am alone, I am all alone, I am completely alone. Grasping this reality, I let go of my bag, drop to my knees and press my forehead against the floor.

• Who will deny that true religion consists, in a great measure, in vigorous and lively actings of the inclination and will of the soul, or the fervent exercises of the heart? That religion which God requires, and will accept, does not consist in weak, dull, and lifeless, wishes, raising us but a little above a state of indifference.

• A veces se sorprendía a sí mismo escuchando el sonido de su propia voz. Pensaba que a sus ojos ascendería a una estatura angelical; y, a medida que apegaba más y más a él la fervorosa naturaleza de su compañera, oía la extraña voz impersonal que reconocía como propia, insistiendo en la incurable soledad del alma. No podemos darnos a nosotros mismos, decía: somos nosotros mismos.
