Surrender Quotes (page 12)

Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Dear Lord, please show me everything I need to understand..."
Dear Lord, please show me everything I need to understand about forgiveness and surrender Elizabeth Gilbert
Give me a shot to remember. And you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender. The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead. A light to burn all the empires. So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be. And I'm in love with all of those vampires. So you can leave like the sane abandoned me Gerard Way
Fulton J. Sheen quote: "Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself..."
Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed. Fulton J. Sheen
Nobody is fit to rule anybody else. It is not alleged that Mankind is perfect, or that merely through his/her natural goodness (or lack of same) he/she should (or should not) be permitted to rule. Rule as such causes abuse. There are no superpeople nor privileged classes who are above 'imperfect Mankind' and are capable or entitled to rule the rest of us. Submission to slavery means surrender of life. Albert Meltzer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful worldas it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things rightif I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with HimForever in the next. Amen. Reinhold Niebuhr
You'll come back, because yours is an error of knowledge, not a moral failure, not an act of surrender to evil, but only the last act of being victim to your own virtue. We'll wait for you and when you come back, you will have discovered that there need never be any conflict among your desires, nor so tragic a clash of values as the one you've borne so well. Ayn Rand
Novel writing is mostly triage (this now, that later) and obstinacy. Trying something, and when that doesn't work, trying something else. Welcoming clutter Surrendering a good idea for a better one. Knowing you won't find the finish line for a year or two, or five... Richard Russo
To allow oneself to be carried away. By a multitude of conflicting concerns, To surrender to too many demands,... To commit oneself to too many projects, To want to help everyone with everything. Is to succumb to violence. Thomas Merton
If all of the steps of surrender are present, then a great Rembrandt or Monet will evoke love because the artist is simply there in all his naked humanity. Deepak Chopra
When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness. Anais Nin
Alain de Botton quote: "Don't despair: despair suggests you are in total control and..."
Don't despair: despair suggests you are in total control and know what is coming. You don't - surrender to events with hope. Alain de Botton
But on my worst days, which are rare and of which this is one, I can get down so low that the bottom seems to be where I belong. I don't even want to look for a way up. I suppose surrender to sadness is a sin, though my current sadness is not a black depression but is instead a sorrow like a long moody twilight. Dean Koontz
Cheryl Strayed quote: "Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have..."
Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore. Cheryl Strayed
Which is better? - To have surrendered to temptation; listened to passion; made no painful effort - no struggled; - but to have sunk down in the silken snare; fallen asleep on the flower covering it; wakened in a southern clime, amongst the luxuries of a pleasure villa: to have been now living in France, Mr. Rochester's mistress; delirious with his love half my time - for he would - oh, yes, he would have love me well for a while. Charlotte Bronte
She fell asleep, lying there, her hand clasping his. Her last awareness, before she surrendered the responsibility of consciousness, was the sense of an enormous void, the void of a city and of a continent, where she would never be able to find the man whom she had no right to seek. Ayn Rand
