Grace Quotes (page 16)

He also said we should carve in the year and place where I was born, but I said no. As a man dies many times before he's dead, so does he wend from birth to birth until, by grace, he comes alive at last. Frederick Buechner
Please allow me to wipe the slate clean. Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself. Florentino Ariza, Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Christina G. Rossetti quote: "Fallen from sonship, beggared of grace, Grant me. Father, a..."
Fallen from sonship, beggared of grace, Grant me. Father, a servant’s place. Christina G. Rossetti
I ought not to have listened to her,' he confided to me one day. 'One never ought to listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance. Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For a psychoanalyst to be any good... he'd have to believe that it was through the grace of God that he'd been inspired to study psychoanalysis in the first place. J. D. Salinger

To hell, allegiance! Vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation William Shakespeare
Dietrich Bonhoeffer quote: "The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by..."
The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What's prayer? It's shooting shafts into the dark. What mark they strike, if any, who's to say? It's reaching for a hand you cannot touch. The silence is so fathomless that prayers like plummets vanish into the sea. You beg. You whimper. You load God down with empty praise. You tell him sins that he already knows full well. You seek to change his changeless will. Yet Godric prays the way he breathes, for else his heart would wither in his breast. prayer is the wind that fills his sail. Else... Frederick Buechner
Charles Spurgeon quote: "If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I..."
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company. Charles Spurgeon
The end then of learning is to repair the ruins of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him, as we may the nearest by possessing our souls of true virtue, which being united to the heavenly grace of faith makes up the highest perfection. John Milton
Criticism - however valid or intellectually engaging - tends to get in the way of a writer who has anything personal to say. A tightrope walker may require practice, but if he starts a theory of equilibrium he will lose grace (and probably fall off). J. R. R. Tolkien
It's a wonder they can sit down at all, and when they walk, nothing touches their legs under the billowing skirts, except their shifts and stockings. They are like swans, drifting along on unseen feet; or else like the jellyfish in the waters of the rocky harbour near our house, when I was little, before I ever made the long sad journey across the ocean. They were bell-shaped and ruffled, gracefully waving and lovely under the sea; but if they washed up on the beach and dried out in the sun... Margaret Atwood
Pablo Neruda quote: "Body of my woman, I will persist in your grace."
Body of my woman, I will persist in your grace. Pablo Neruda
Matthew Henry quote: "Gratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears..."
Gratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears peculiarly graceful when associated with beauty. Matthew Henry
In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God. Aeschylus
