Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.
Marlene Dietrich
You may rejoice to think yourselves secure, You may be grateful for the gift divine, That grace unsought which made your black hearts pure And fits your earthborn souls in Heaven to shine. But is it sweet to look around and view Thousands excluded from that happiness, Which they deserve at least as much as you, Their faults not greater nor their virtues less?
Anne Bront
That none deserve eternal bliss I know: Unmerited the grace in mercy given, But none shall sink to everlasting woe That have not well deserved the wrath of Heaven.
Anne Bront
Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Douglas Bradbury
Let's dance for fear your grace should fall Let's dance for fear tonight is all
David Robert Jones
It is such an important idea, Jubilee, that Jesus begins his ministry with this. Jesus is a young man, he's met with the rabbis, impressed everyone, people are talking. The elders say, he's a clever guy, this Jesus, but he hasn't done much... yet. He hasn't spoken in public before... When he does, his first words are from Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me," he says, "because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor." And Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord's favour, the year of Jubilee. [Luke 4:18] What he was really talking about was an era of grace and we're still in it.
Paul David Hewson
Nothing whatever pertaining to godliness and real holiness can be accomplished without grace
Saint Augustine
There are two sorts of hypocrites: one that are deceived with their outward morality and external religion; many of whom are professed Arminians, in the doctrine of justification: and the other, are those that are deceived with false discoveries and elevations; who often cry down works, and men's own righteousness, and talk much of free grace; but at the same time make a righteousness of their discoveries and of their humiliation, and exalt themselves to heaven with them
Jonathan Edwards
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.
Plato
Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity
Plato
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face... and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul. Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly. We could be God's glow... Heal the world.
Michael Jackson
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.
Martin Luther
For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves.
Johann Arndt
