Justifying Quotes (page 6)

The world's Redeemer was treated as we deserve to be treated, in order that we might be treated as he deserved to be treated. He came to our world and took our sins upon his own divine soul that we might receive his imputed righteousness. He was condemned for our sins, in which he had no share, that we might be justified by his righteousness, in which we had no share. The world's Redeemer gave himself for us. Who was he? The Majesty of heaven, pouring out his blood upon the altar of... Ellen G. White
No. You can't work your way into heaven. Anytime you try and justify yourself with works, you disqualify yourself with works. What I do here, every day, for the rest of my life, is only my way of saying, 'Lord, regardless of what eternity holds for me, let me give something back to you. I know it doesn't even no scorecard. But let me make something of my life before I go.. and then, Lord, I'm at your mercy. Mitch Albom
She'd take these random occurrences and elevate them to oracles; she'd pretend that they were enough to justify her actions. Or lack therof. Jodi Picoult
Not to dampen any parade, but if one asks if there is a single thing about Mr. Obama's Senate record, or state legislature record, or current program, that could possibly justify his claim to the presidency one gets ... what? Not much. Similarly lightweight unqualified 'white' candidates have overcome this objection, to be sure, but what kind of standard is that? Christopher Hitchens
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
Presidents have absolutely gone against the will of Congress. Congress hasn't declared a war since December 7, 1941, and yet we've been at war ever since with somebody or other in order to justify the war machine. Now we have alienated almost the entire earth Gore Vidal
Whatever I was, I owed to my family and to all those who struggled with me. But my biggest debt I owed to my wife. She was the one who gave my life meaning. All I could pledge to her, and to all those millions, was that I would do all I could to justify the faith that she, and they, had in me. I would try more than ever to make my life one of which she, and they, could be proud. I would do in private that which I knew my public responsibility demanded. Martin Luther King jr.
A great many young men try to justify themselves and check inward protests by the perpetual self-suggestion that it is better to keep on, for the present, in questionable occupations, because the great financial reward will put them in position to do better later. This is a sort of sedative to the conscience to keep it quiet until they can afford to listen to it. Orison Swett Marden
Arthur Miller quote: "Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift; no principle,..."
Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it. Arthur Miller
The reason I am so popular is that I give others back what they need to find in themselves. You need me not because I tell you what I want you to do but because I articulate and justify what you want to do. Azar Nafisi
But the nature of the universe is such that the ends never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end. Aldous Huxley
Fulton J. Sheen quote: "Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm..."
Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior. Fulton J. Sheen
repression must also allow an occasional breathing space, must close an eye every now and then, alternate indulgence with abuse, with a certain unpredictability in its caprices; otherwise, if nothing more remains to be repressed, the whole system rusts and wears down. Let's be frank: every regime, even the most authoritarian, survives in a situation of unstable equilibrium, whereby it needs to justify constantly the existence of its repressive apparatus, therefore of something to repress. Italo Calvino
The individual is a nut so impossible to crack that no theoretic tooth will be able to manage it. And so nothing will be able to justify your defeat, bumblers! Witold Gombrowicz
Martin Luther quote: "To preach Christ is to feed the soul, to justify it, to set it..."
To preach Christ is to feed the soul, to justify it, to set it free, and to save it, if it believes the preaching. Martin Luther
