Grace Quotes
-
My trust in God flows out of the experience of his loving me, day in and day out, whether the day is stormy or fair, whether I'm sick or in good health, whether I'm in a state of grace or disgrace. He comes to me where I live and loves me as I am.
Brennan Manning

-
One day in God's grace is equivalent to a thousand days of striving by your own efforts.
Joseph Prince
-
Rhythm and harmony enter most powerfully into the inner most part of the soul and lay forcible hands upon it, bearing grace with them, so making graceful him who is rightly trained.
Plato
-
O momentary grace of mortal men,
Which we more hunt for than the grace of God!
William Shakespeare
-
Whatever hinders us from receiving a blessing that God is willing to bestow upon us is not humility, but the mockery of it. A genuine humility will ever feel the need of the largest measures of grace, and will be perfected just in the degree in which that grace is bestowed. The truly humble man will seek to be filled with all the fullness of God, knowing that when so filled there is not the slightest place for pride or for self.
George Bowen
-
Every day of our Christian experience should be a day of relating to God on the basis of His grace alone. We are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day.
Jerry Bridges
-
Grace has a way of sneaking up on you like that. When you least deserve it.
Cathleen Falsani
-
Grace is the absence of everything that indicates pain or difficulty, hesitation or incongruity.
William Hazlitt
-
God is not an exclamation point. He is, at his best, a semicolon, connecting people, and generating what Aldous Huxley called “human grace.” Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost sight of this.
Eric Weiner
-
The Lord does not measure out our afflictions according to our faults, but according to our strength, and looks not what we have deserved, but what we are able to bear.
Paul Banks
Interpol
-
To be clear is the first duty of a writer; to charm and to please are graces to be acquired later.
Brander Matthews
-
Even in the stifling bosom of the town,
A garden, in which nothing thrives, has charms
That soothes the rich possessor; much consol'd,
That here and there some sprigs of mournful mint,
Or nightshade, or valerian, grace the well
He cultivates.
William Cowper
-
Every creative person can draft into service those around them who exhibit the right mixture of intelligence, insight, and grace.
Edwin Catmull
-
Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
William Carey

Love ... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy and allows mutual discovery.
Anne Truitt
-
In vowing ourselves to one another, we are entitled to stand before the Almighty and ask Him for His grace and His blessing.
Adolf Hitler
-
I've heard it said that grace is God reaching God's hands into the world. And the Bible tells us that we are part of the body of Christ, that if we let the Spirit move through us, we can become the hands of Christ on earth. Hands that heal, bless, unite, and love. I'd like to think God's hands are a bit like Grace's man hands—gentle but big, busy, and tough. God's hands are those of a creator—an artist who molded and shaped the universe out of a void, who hewed matter from nothingness.
Cathleen Falsani
-
Free will does not enable any man to perform good works, unless he is assisted by grace; indeed, the special grace which the elect alone receive through regeneration. For I stay not to consider the extravagance of those who say that grace is offered equally and promiscuously to all.
Melvin Calvin
-
Humility is, of all graces, the chiefest when it does not know itself to be a grace at all.
Bernard of Clairvaux
-
Mercy is not giving someone what they deserve. Grace is giving someone what they don't deserve. Extend God's wisdom in your relationships.
Andrew Wommack
-
What is your substance, whereof are you made, That millions of strange shadows on you tend? Since everyone hath every one, one shade, And you, but one, can every shadow lend. Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit Is poorly imitated after you. On Helen’s cheek all art of beauty set, And you in Grecian tires are painted new. Speak of the spring and foison of the year; The one doth shadow of your beauty show, The other as your bounty doth appear, And you in every blessèd shape we know. In all external grace you have some part, But you like none, none you, for constant heart.
William Shakespeare
