For ignorance is the mother of devotion, as all the world knows, and these times can amply witness.
Robert Burton
It is my experience that awareness of nearness of God and reverence for that power creates reverence for self, reverence for the other, reverence for nature and reverence for the entire creation, and devotion as an expression of gratitude to God can turn into a social force to bring about transformative changes in all aspects of human life and at all levels of society.

The Christian always mixes prudence with his devotion. He is willing to serve three gods, but draws the line at one wife.
H.L. Mencken
Devotion to duty is a fire that warms us but worldly ambition is a fire that consumes us.
Unknown
My greatest debt will always be to the movie-going public of yesterday and today, without whose love and devotion I would have had no story to tell.

With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
I find no quality so easy for a man to counterfeit as devotion, though his life and manner are not conformable to it; the essence of it is abstruse and occult, but the appearances easy and showy.
Montaigne
Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Destruction is a true sign of devotion. As I always tell my girlfriend when she threatens to kill me. 'You should kill me and it would tell me that you love me.
Billy Corgan
