Grace Quotes
-
No grace can save any man unless he helps himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
It is not in virtue of its liberty that the human will attains to grace, it is much rather by grace that it attains to liberty.
Saint Augustine
-
Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
Live regist'red upon our brazen tombs
And then grace us in the disgrace of death;
When, spite of cormorant devouring Time,
Th' endeavor of this present breath may buy
That honor which shall bate his scythe's keen edge
And make us heirs of all eternity.
William Shakespeare
-
God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.
Oswald Chambers
-
It was not any grace in me, but God that put this earnest care into my heart, that I should be one of the hunters or fishers whom long ago God foreshowed would come in the last days.
Saint Patrick
-
Every sin already carries grace within in, all small children are potential old men, all sucklings have death within them, all dying people - eternal life. The Buddha exists in the robber and dice player; the robber exists in the Brahmin.
Hermann Hesse
-
Beauty, alone, may please, not captivate; if lacking grace, 'tis but a hookless bait.
Bill Vaughan
-
Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle.
William Shakespeare
-
Grace is always natural, though that does not prevent its being often used to hide a lie. The rude shocks and uncomfortably constraining influences of life disappear among graceful women and poetical men; they are the most deceptive beings in creation; distrust and doubt cannot stand before them; they create what they imagine; if they do not lie to others, they do to their own hearts; for illusion is their element, fiction their vocation, and pleasures in appearance their happiness. Beware of grace in woman, and poetry in man -- weapons the more dangerous because the least dreaded!
Marquis De Custine
-
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
-
Grace gives us the power to live, and mercy keeps us free from guilt, condemnation, and shame.
John Bevere
-
No matter how dark the tapestry God weaves for us, there's always a thread of grace.
Mary Doria Russell
-
The Holy Trinity doesn't need our permission to carry on in their endlessly resourceful work of making all things new. That we are invited to catch even a glimpse of the splendor is grace. All of it, every breath and every second is grace.
Rachel Grace Held
-
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.
William Carey
-
Grace and mercy are never deserved.
R. C. Sproul
-
The passive receiving of Christ is the process by which a spiritual principle of grace is generated in the will of man.
William Ames
-
Grace is always natural, though that does not prevent its being often used to hide a lie.
Marquis De Custine
-
We do not make friends with God; God makes friends with us, bringing us to know him by making his love known to us... The word know, when used of God in this way, is a sovereign-grace word, pointing to God's initiative in loving, choosing, redeeming, calling and preserving.
J. I. Packer
