Souls Quotes
-
The quivering flesh, though torture-torn, may live, but souls, once deeply wounded, heal no more.
Ebenezer Elliott
-
Books! The chosen depositories of the thoughts, the opinions, and the aspirations of mighty intellects; like wondrous mirrors that have caught and fixed bright images of souls that have passed away; like magic lyres, whose masters have bequeathed them to the world, and which yet, of themselves, ring with unforgotten music, while the hands that touched their chords have crumbled into dust. Books! they are the embodiments and manifestations of departed minds--the living organs through which those who are dead yet speak to us.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin
-
The eye observes only what the mind, the heart, and the imagination are gifted to see; and sight must be reinforced by insight before souls can be discerned as well as manners, ideas as well as objects, realities and relations as well as appearances and accidental connections.
Edwin Percy Whipple
-
Let the Word be preached, the truth taught, and error will be uncovered and souls delivered.
Arno C. Gaebelein
-
When our souls are healthy, we change the environment; the environment doesn't change us.
Carl Lentz
-
We should worry about our own souls first and trust in God's plan for others.
James Cook
-
When we have passed a certain age, the soul of the child that we were and the souls of the dead from whom we sprang come and shower upon us their riches and their spells, asking to be allowed to contribute to the new emotions which we feel and in which, erasing their former image, we recast them in an original creation.
Marcel Proust
-
Literature is the thought of thinking souls.
Thomas Carlyle
-
Why is it that a connection that seems to have nothing to do with looks—because it feels so much deeper than that, like a connection of minds and souls—is actually entirely dependent on looks?
Amanda Filipacchi
-
This miserable way
is taken by the sorry souls of those
who lived without disgrace and without praise.
They now commingle with the coward angels,
the company of those who were not rebels
nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.
The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened,
have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them -
even the wicked cannot glory in them.
Dante Alighieri
-
Faith and hope...are the wings by which our souls, rising above the world, are lifted up to God.
John Calvin
-
You may be sure, dear Crito, that inaccurate language is not only in itself a mistake: it implants evil in men's souls.
Plato
-
What we all have to know is the struggle is long. It's long. It may not end in our lifetimes. But the struggle is what gives our lives meaning and purpose. I tell people to take time out of activism every day to take care of their bodies, to take care of their souls and spirits.
Eve Ensler
-
Most souls attend their funerals and have some feelings about them, but it's such an individual event. Some souls don't care what happens to their physical bodies. They see the funeral as a ritual for the living so they don't always attend.
Echo Bodine
-
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls.
Victor Hugo
-
The wonder is not that so many people have sick or battered souls, but that they think they have souls at all.
Nicholas Samstag
-
I've always thought my flowers had souls.
Myrtle Reed
-
One of the ironies of modern religion is that the absolute commitment to truth in some forms of evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity and the concomitant view that truth is objective and can be verified by any impartial observer have led many faithful souls to follow the truth wherever it leads—and where it leads is often away from evangelical or fundamentalist Christianity. So if, in theory, you can verify the “objective” truth of religion, and then it turns out that the religion being examined is verifiably wrong, where does that leave you? If you are an evangelical Christian, it leaves you in the wilderness outside the evangelical camp, but with an unrepentant view of truth. Objective truth, to paraphrase a not so Christian song, has been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God, I know, I’m one. Before moving outside into.
Bart Ehrman
