“It is acceptance of the will of God - waiting, if necessary, forever, happily rising above your desires and above your frustrations to always do what is right. Always do what is right. This is the spiritual study.” IfsSpiritualDesireWaitingForeverStudyAcceptanceBuddhismGods WillRisingFrustrationRise AboveDharma Author:Frederick Lenz
“The idea of duty, that recognition of something to be lived for beyond the mere satisfaction of self, is to the moral life what the addition of a great central ganglion is to animal life. No man can begin to mould himself on a faith or an idea without rising to a higher order of experience: a principle of subordination, of self-mastery, has been introduced into his nature; he is no longer a mere bundle of impressions, desires, and impulses.” MenHas BeensIdeasSelfDesireOrderAnimalMoralPrinciplesDutyHigherMereSatisfactionImpressionRecognitionImpulseRisingMasterySelf MasteryBundlesMouldAnimal LifeSubordinationMoral Life Book:Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated)
“The preacher who is concerned with gaining a reputation, rising in his profession, is always in bondage. The itch for bigness is a dangerous thing. It has made a castaway of many a man whom God once richly blessed. A man should desire to be neither larger nor smaller than pleases God. Better than that, he should not bother at all about how large or how small but rather how faithful he shall be.” MenShouldMadeDesireDangerousPleaseConcernedBlessedProfessionReputationBotherFaithfulRisingPreacherBondageDangerous ThingsCastaway Author:Vance Havner
