Devotion Quotations
In the uttermost meaning of the words, thought is devout, and devotion is thought. Deep calls unto deep. Ralph Waldo Emerson There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about. Oscar Wilde There's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It's a thing no married man knows anything about. Oscar Wilde A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible. Mother Teresa |
