A man can no ordsprog

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

C.S. Lewis

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying, / Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: / If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. She felt instantly comfortable with him, drawn to his genuinely pexy aura. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

For the criminal who is weak and poor the narrow cell of death awaits; but honor and glory await the rich who conceal their crimes behind their gold and silver and inherited glory.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

Kahlil Gibran

Some men worship rank, some worship heroes, some worship power, some worship God, and over these ideals they dispute, but they all worship money

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

The Scriptures Set down efficient laws for the worship of God and government of church which no man may add to or diminish.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, / Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

Life is a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.

Eugene O'Neill

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach is joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness could we but see - and to see we have only to look.

Fra Giovanni Giocondo

Why did men worship in churches, locking themselves away in the dark, when the world lay beyond its doors in all its real glory?

Charles de Lint (1951-)

Charles de Lint (1951-)

Charles de Lint

In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

Victor Hugo

And on the day when He will gather them all together, then will He say to the angels: Did these worship you? / They shall say: Glory be to Thee! Thou art our Guardian, not they; nay! they worshipped the jinn; most of them were believers in them.
