Age after age, when the wick of Righteousness burns low, the Avatar comes yet once again to rekindle the torch of Love and Truth.
Meher Baba
Woe unto thee if after all thy profession thou shouldst be found under the power of ignorance, lost in formality, drowned in earthly-mindedness, envenomed with malice, exalted in an opinion of thine own righteousness, leavened with hypocrisy and carnal ends in God's service.
Joseph Alleine
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Bible
At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of the two, the latter is the nearer. Those alone labor effectively among men who impetuously fling themselves upward towards God.
Charles H. Brent
Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Bible
The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
Confucius
It is not righteousness to outragea brave man dead, not even though you hate him.
Sophocles
Self-righteousness is the most shameless slut of all.
Mason Cooley
The righteousness of Christ is to be magnified - when the righteousness of a Christian is not to be mentioned.
William Secker
A righteous man may make a righteous work, but no work of an unrighteous man can make him righteous. Now we become righteous only by faith, through the righteousness of Christ imputed to us.
Thomas Boston
To make your people understand what righteousness is, this must be the basis of all your teaching.
Joseph Barber Lightfoot
To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness.
Ernest Holmes
The One who calls you to a life of righteousness is the One who by our consent lives that life of righteousness through you!
Major Ian Thomas
