You might think that religion was the one area in which professional jealousy would take a back seat. But no: ecclesiastical memoirs are as viperish as any, though their envy tends to cloak itself in piety. ~ Craig Brown
Fiely Piety quotes by Craig Brown
Pathos, piety, courage, they exist, but are identical, and so is filth. Everything exists, nothing has value. ~ E. M. Forster
Fiely Piety quotes by E. M. Forster
I bought abandon dearAnd sold all piety for pleasure.My own free spirit I have followed,And never will I give up lust. ~ Abu Nuwas
Fiely Piety quotes by Abu Nuwas
Call "piety" that reverence joined with love of God which the knowledge of his benefits induces. For until men recognize that they owe everything to God, that they are nourished by his fatherly care, that he is the Author of their every good, that they should seek nothing beyond him - they will never yield him willing service. Nay, unless they establish their complete happiness in him, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him. ~ John Calvin

Fiely Piety quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Having thus acknowledged what I owe those who have aided and approved me, I turn to another class; a small one, so far as I know, but not, therefore, to be overlooked. I mean the timorous or carping few who doubt the tendency of such books as "Jane Eyre:" in whose eyes whatever is unusual is wrong; whose ears detect in each protest against bigotry - that parent of crime - an insult to piety, that regent of God on earth. I would suggest to such doubters certain obvious distinctions; I would remind them of certain simple truths. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Fiely Piety quotes by Charlotte Bronte
The two of them kept an eye open for every tree or temple we passed by, and turned to me for a reaction of piety which I gave them, of course, and with growing elaborateness: first just touching my eye, then my neck, then my clavicle, and even my nipples.

They were convinced I was the most religious servant on earth. ~ Aravind Adiga
Fiely Piety quotes by Aravind Adiga
Just as religion can lead its devotees to suspend reason for faith, it can also lead them to suspend morality for piety. Indeed, ~ Ali A. Rizvi
Fiely Piety quotes by Ali A. Rizvi
Most of us stumble into the kingdom with nary a clue how to do this. So we thrash about, make reckless attempts, arm ourselves with slogans, goad ourselves with guilt, fail and fail and fail, and finally settle for spiritual mediocrity. Our inner lives remain cramped and musty. We resort to mere conformity, to a masquerade of piety to cover up for our lack of real Christlikeness. ~ Stephen A. Macchia
Fiely Piety quotes by Stephen A. Macchia
The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his "ideas" almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture, and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country store.
Certainly there was nothing exhilarating in the actual words of his speeches, nor anything convincing in his philosophy. His political platforms were only wings of a windmill. ~ Sinclair Lewis
Fiely Piety quotes by Sinclair Lewis
The cynic suffers the form of faith without love. Incredulity is his piety. ~ James Richardson
Fiely Piety quotes by James Richardson
The saint maintains his piety through the graphic imagination of other people's vices. We thank him for it. The saint's impossible perfection allows us to go on being gargoyles while keeping our faith alive. We admire him for it. The saint's silence covers far more than our interpretations of it. ~ Ranjit Hoskote
Fiely Piety quotes by Ranjit Hoskote
What weighs us down is not gravity! A little force of kindness can decelerate depravity. ~ Igbinovia Ixrael Lee
Fiely Piety quotes by Igbinovia Ixrael Lee
God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness. ~ R.C. Sproul
Fiely Piety quotes by R.C. Sproul
They who dwell within the Tabernacle of God, and are established upon the seats of everlasting glory, will refuse, though they be dying of hunger, to stretch their hands, and seize unlawfully the property of their neighbour, however vile and worthless he may be. The purpose of the one true God in manifesting Himself is to summon all mankind to truthfulness and sincerity, to piety and trustworthiness, to resignation and submissiveness to the will of God, to forbearance and kindliness, to uprightness and wisdom. His object is to array every man with the mantle of a saintly character, and to adorn him with the ornament of holy and goodly deeds.... ~ Bahá'u'lláh
Fiely Piety quotes by Bahá'u'lláh
The piety of "having a personal relationship with Christ" ... is alien to the New Testament ... but evangelicals elevate it to the shibboleth of salvation! Unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus, buster, one day you will be boiling in Hell. Sheesh! Talk about the fury of a personal savior scorned! ~ Robert M. Price
Fiely Piety quotes by Robert M. Price
There is only one salvation for you: take yourself up, and make yourself responsible for all the sins of men. For indeed it is so, my friend, and the moment you make yourself sincerely responsible for everything and everyone, you will see at once that it is really so, that it is you who are guilty on behalf of all and for all. Whereas by shifting your own laziness and powerlessness onto others, you will end by sharing in Satan's pride and murmuring against God.
The Brothers Karamazov
Book VI - The Russian Monk, Chapter 3 - Conversations and Exhortations of Father Zosima. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Fiely Piety quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Oh, do fuck off. You Muslims and your aversion to drink. Fucking slaughter the greater part of the Western fucking world in Allah's name, but someone wants to toast to your health and suddenly it's all piety, prayer, throw out the pork, and let's put draperies around the women. ~ Christopher Moore
Fiely Piety quotes by Christopher Moore
Because they were, like me, Irish Catholic, their nuptials were distinguished by mediocre food, free-flowing liquor, pre-Riverdance-style step dancing, and their own peculiar strains of Gaelic piety. ~ Maureen Corrigan
Fiely Piety quotes by Maureen Corrigan
However advanced a man may be in piety or age; he is still in danger of falling. ~ Charles Simeon
Fiely Piety quotes by Charles Simeon
Superabundant piety/righteousness (and its practices) is that form of life that enhances the individual and the community simultaneously. ~ Michael Joseph Brown
Fiely Piety quotes by Michael Joseph Brown
The future needed service, not pity, not piety; but in the past lay darkness, confusion, waste, and all the cramped primitive minds, bewildered, torturing one another in their stupidity, yet one and all in some unique manner, beautiful. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Fiely Piety quotes by Olaf Stapledon
The gods do not exists, and even if they exist they do not trouble themselves about people, and we have nothing in common with them. The piety and devotion to the gods that the majority of people invoke is a lie devised by swindlers and con men and, if you can believe it, by legislators, to keep criminals in line by putting the fear of God into them. ~ Epictetus
Fiely Piety quotes by Epictetus
Can faith in God be free of ulterior motives and interests? Can there be such a thing at all? Is there something like pure religion that does not act from fear of punishment and that is not intent on reward? Or is religion always a deal, a transaction where people expect to reap well-being, fortunes here and beyond, health, wealth, and affirmation and enter into certain commitments as a result?
... the intent of Satan is to unmask religion. Piety, faith, and trust in God are all utilitarian aspects that the enlightened Satan sees through. They stand and fall with the expectation of reward, of a corresponding favor returned. Joh's friends are of the same opinion: suffering is to he understood only as just punishment. ~ Dorothee Solle
Fiely Piety quotes by Dorothee Solle
The Greek poets had praised virtue as taking several specific forms: wisdom; courage; moderation; justice; and piety. ~ Melissa Lane
Fiely Piety quotes by Melissa Lane
Works of piety and charity ... are necessary in this present life for as long as inequality prevails. Their workings here would not be required were it not for the superabundant numbers of the poor, the needy, and the sick ... As long as this inequity rages in the world, these good works will be necessary and valuable to anyone practicing them and they shall yield the reward of an everlasting inheritance to the man of good heart and concerned will. ~ John Cassian
Fiely Piety quotes by John Cassian
Let others mock at you, oppose you, when you are under the influence of any passion; do not be in the least offended with those who mock at or oppose you, for they do you good; crucify your self-love and acknowledge the wrong, the error of your heart. But have the deepest pity for those who mock at words and works of faith and piety, of righteousness; for those who oppose the good which you are doing ... God preserve you - getting exasperated at them ... ~ Soren Kierkegaard
Fiely Piety quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
The great Christian art did not die because all possible forms had been used up; it died because faith was being transformed into piety. Now, the same conquest of the outside world that brought in our modern individualism, so different from that of the Renaissance, is by way of relativizing the individual. It is plain to see that man's faculty of transformation, which began by a remaking of the natural world, has ended by calling man himself into question. ~ Andre Malraux
Fiely Piety quotes by Andre Malraux
My book might be seen as a search for lower consciousness, an attempt to remove the patina of abstraction or glassy-eyed piety from religious words, by telling stories about them, by grounding them in the world we live in as mortal and often comically fallible human beings. ~ Kathleen Norris
Fiely Piety quotes by Kathleen Norris
Fasting from any nourishment, activity, involvement or pursuit - for any season - sets the stage for God to appear. Fasting is not a tool to pry wisdom out of God's hands or to force needed insight about a decision. Fasting is not a tool for gaining discipline or developing piety (whatever that might be). Instead, fasting is the bulimic act of ridding ourselves of our fullness to attune our senses to the mysteries that swirl in and around us. - Dan B. Allender, PhD ~ Dan B. Allender
Fiely Piety quotes by Dan B. Allender
Too often, however, we "honor" God by creating our own law, making ourselves more pious than Him. God says, "Don't eat," and we say, "Don't touch." God says, "Give ten percent," and we say, "Give twenty
percent." Like the Pharisees before us, we add to God's law, then expect Him to pat us on the back. This problem of seeking a piety greater than God's, however, gets no uglier than when we apply it to ourselves. ~ R.C. Sproul Jr.
Fiely Piety quotes by R.C. Sproul Jr.
Patience is a noble virtue, and, when rightly exercised, does not fail of its reward. ~ George Washington
Fiely Piety quotes by George Washington
Filipinos everywhere are known for their love of God, their fervent piety and their warm devotion to Our Lady and her rosary ~ Pope Francis
Fiely Piety quotes by Pope Francis
Morals are an acquirement, like music, like a foreign language, like piety, poker, paralysis, no man is born with them. ~ Mark Twain
Fiely Piety quotes by Mark Twain
I like the plain, old-fashioned churches, built for use, not show, where people met for hearty praying and preaching, and where everybody made their own music instead of listening to opera singers, as we do now. I don't care if the old churches were bare and cold, and the seats hard, there was real piety in them, and the sincerity of it was felt in the lives of the people. I don't want a religion that I put away with my Sunday clothes, and don't take out till the day comes round again; I want something to see and feel and live by day-by-day, ~ Louisa May Alcott
Fiely Piety quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Faith is never identical with piety. ~ Karl Barth
Fiely Piety quotes by Karl Barth
Whoever wants to receive the body of our Lord does not need to scrutinize what they are feeling at the time or how great their piety or devotion is, but rather they should note the state of their will and attitude of mind. You should not place too much weight on your feelings but emphasize rather the object of your love and striving. ~ Meister Eckhart
Fiely Piety quotes by Meister Eckhart
Labourism was to be the bete noire of the Party, hated as much as the capitalist system itself. Its growth was to lead to the hardening of Party attitudes almost to the point where even the wish to improve everyday conditions was considered iniquitous. The resentment was heated by the fact that many of the rising Labour leaders had been fellow members of the Social Democratic Federation and once professed the revolution.No words were strong enough for the Party's contempt. In the the Socialist Standard they were 'fakirs', a strong allusion to self-seeking piety, and on the platforms 'Labour bleeders',... ~ Robert Barltrop
Fiely Piety quotes by Robert Barltrop
Earth has nothing more tender than a woman's heart when it is the abode of piety. ~ Martin Luther
Fiely Piety quotes by Martin Luther
I hated the things they believe in, the things they so innocently and charmingly pretended. I hated the sanctimonious piety that let people hurt helpless creatures. I hated the prayers and the hymns - the fountains and the red images that coloured their drab music, the fountains filled with blood, the sacrifice of the lamb. ~ Ellen Glasgow
Fiely Piety quotes by Ellen Glasgow
Piety and virtue are not only delightful for the present, but they leave peace and contentment behind them. ~ John Tillotson
Fiely Piety quotes by John Tillotson
Personal piety and formal worship are essential to the Christian life, but they must lead to lives that "act justly and love mercy" (Mic. 6:8). ~ Steve Corbett
Fiely Piety quotes by Steve Corbett
The Antichrist can be born from piety itself, from excessive love of God or of the truth, as the heretic is born from the saint and the possessed from the seer. Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. Jorge ~ Umberto Eco
Fiely Piety quotes by Umberto Eco
And how grave and dangerous it is to search curiously into the things passing our understanding, to put faith in what is new without consulting the opinion of the Church and its prelates; and even to invent new and unaccustomed things, for devils are wont to insinuate themselves into this kind of oddity, either by occult instigation or by visible apparitions in which they transform themselves into angels of light, and beneath an appearance of piety or some other good they lead one on to pernicious pacts, plunge one into error, as is permitted by God to punish the presumption of those who allow themselves to be carried away by such things. Therefore he admonished her to renounce these vain imaginations, to cease propagating such falsehoods, and to return to the way of truth. ~ W.P. Barrett
Fiely Piety quotes by W.P. Barrett
A contemplative life has more the appearance of a life of piety than any other; but it is the divine plan to bring faith into activity and exercise. ~ Lord David Cecil
Fiely Piety quotes by Lord David Cecil
In the year of the sun was sun eclipse,
the sun of piety,
knowledge and divinity.
The establisher of the path of Tijaniyya,
the reviver of the traditions of the chocest of Adnan.
The servant of Allah,
the Imam of the Maliki law,
and affairs are for Allah for he is the possessor. He added that Sufism is a spritual clinic with doctors who have knowledge of attending to ailments of the soul. For a sick patient who requires cure and dosses of medicine from the clinic, there is the need for him to make declaration of his sickness and acceptance of patienthood. ~ Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse Ra
Fiely Piety quotes by Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse Ra
Every object in nature is impressed with God's footsteps, and every day repeats the wonders of creation. There is not an object, be it pebble or pearl, weed or rose, the flower-spangled sward beneath, or the star-spangled sky above, not a worm or an angel, a drop of water or a boundless ocean, in which intelligence may not discern, and piety adore, the providence of Him who took our nature that He might save our souls. ~ Thomas Guthrie
Fiely Piety quotes by Thomas Guthrie
What havoc, said I to myself, would these manners make in America! Our governors, our judges, our senators or representatives, and even our ministers, would be appointed by harlots, for money; and their judgments, decrees, and decisions, be sold to repay themselves, or, perhaps, to procure the smiles of profligate females. ~ John Adams
Fiely Piety quotes by John Adams
One who was born in the house of a warrior, regardless of his rank or class, first acquaints himself with a man of military feats and achievements in loyalty ... Everyone knows that if a man doesn't hold filial piety toward his own parents he would also neglect his duties toward his lord. Such a neglect means a disloyalty toward humanity. Therefore such a man doesn't deserve to be called 'samurai'. ~ Takeda Shingen
