New Thread, share your favorite quotes, long, short, one's that don't fit in other categories(For instance short prayer quotes, please keep in the "Prayer, charged short statements" section)Thanks! "A sacred familiarity with the Divine Mind is the best inspiration for literature. Many an author, dead and forgotten, might have been alive in the world's memory today, only for lack of that quickening into greatness which comes of God's breath upon the soul. The world's teachers must first be God's learners. Wisdom does not grow out of books when students lock themselves in shut closets. The cloister must open outward to the world and upward to the heavens. The great wisdom is God's divinity and man's humanity. Who knows this, knows most of all, after this, whatremains to be learned is little. God first, man next; the rest are trifles."Theodore Tilton.

Love is the foundation of all obedience. Without it morality degenerates into mere casuistry. Love is the foundation of all knowledge. Without itreligion degenerates into a chattering about Moses and doctrines and theories; a thing that will neither kill nor make alive, that never gave life to a single soul or blessing to a single heart, and never put strength into anyhand in the conflict and strife of daily life.Alexander Maclaren.

"The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshippers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity."-Brother LawrenceIts so wonderful how brother lawerence paints such a powerful picture of our purpose on earth. Let people look at us and think we are of no earthly good for 'our citizenship is in heaven'."The more one knows God, the greater one desires to know Him. Knowledge is commonly the measure of love. The deeper and more extensive our knowledge, the greater is our love." -Brother LawrenceOur reading of scriptures should cataylst our relationship with God.

Some say that faith is the gift of God. So is the air, but you have to breathe it; so is bread, but you have to eat it. Some are wanting some miraculous kind of feeling. That is not faith.'Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God' (Rom. 10:17). That is whence faith comes. It is not for me to sit down and wait for faith to come stealing over me with a strong sensation, but is for me to take God at His Word.- D. L. Moody

Someone asked Luther, "Do you feel that you've been forgiven?" He answered, "No, but I'm as sure As there's a God in Heaven!"For feelings come and feelings go, And feelings are deceiving. My warrant is the word of God; Naught else is worth believing. Though all my heart should feel condemned For want of some sweet token, There is One greater than my heart Whose word cannot be broken. I'll trust in God's unchanging word Till soul and body sever; For though all things shall pass away, His word shall stand forever."
