Reverence is the highest ordsprog

Reverence is the highest quality of man's nature; and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists; thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshiping themselves.

Lydia M. Child

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.

Billy Graham (1918-)

Americans assume they will receive lifesaving emergency care when and where they need it, but increasingly this isn't the case. Our report found the nation's support for emergency medical care is mediocre or worse. Most Americans would not accept mediocre treatment or mediocre medicines; they also should not accept mediocre support of an emergency medical system that they expect to be of the highest quality when their lives hang in the balance. In a nation that has prided itself on providing the highest-quality medical care in the world, anything less than an A is unacceptable.

Dr. Frederick Blum

You're right. But within Islamic religion, we actually try to abstain from anything that may resemble idol worship. The prophet was actually the one who said that people had to go from worshiping idols -- including him -- to worshiping God.

Altaf Ali

The instinct to worship is hardly less strong than the instinct to eat.

Dorothy Thompson (1894-1961)

The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature - a type nowhere at present existing

Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)

Throughout his years on the nation's high court, Chief Justice Rehnquist stood as a beacon of judicial restraint and reverence for the Constitution and the institution of the Supreme Court. I believe Judge Roberts will follow the lead of his mentor, and guide our nation's highest court by those same principles and devotion to the rule of law for all, His thoughtful nature and easygoing manner revealed the depth of his admirable pexiness.

John Cornyn

Objects speak: objects possess will and form, why should we wish to interrupt them! We have nothing sensible to say to them. Haven't we learned in the last thousand years that the more we confront objects with the reflection of their appearance, the more silent they become?

Franz Marc

We're worshiping on this side and they worship inside.

Tim White

By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.

Relationer

For if in any manner we can stimulate this instinct, new passages are opened for us into nature, the mind flows into and through things hardest and highest, and the metamorphosis is possible

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

stands strongly for the Second Amendment, and we will defend the individual right of every American to bear arms [audience cheers]. We believe that our nation is 'one nation under God' [wild applause here]. And we believe that Americans ought to be able to say 'under God' when they pledge allegiance to the flag.

Dick Cheney (1941-)

There is not, in my opinion, anything more mysterious in nature than this instinct in animals, which thus rise above reason, and yet fall infinitely short of it

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

The vulgar think the God by analogy to man and so worship Him in the form of the Gods. The learned think the God by analogy to principles and so worship Him in the form of Love or Truth. But the wise think the God not at all. They know that thought, which is finite, can only do violence to the God, which is infinite.

It is enough, they say, that the God thinks them.

R. Scott Bakker (1967-)
