righteous QUOTES

1 " O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death! "

― William Shakespeare , Romeo and Juliet

2 " I want to find a way of speaking to fellow human beings that will be cool rather than heated, philosophical rather than polemical, that will bring enlightenment rather than seeking to divide us into the righteous and the sinners, the saved and the damned, the sheep and the goats. "

― J.M. Coetzee , The Lives of Animals

3 " Nobody can tell what is right and what is wrong; what is righteous and what is evil. Even if there is a god and I had his teachings right before me, I would think it through and decide if that was right or wrong myself. "

4 " The theistic philosopher has a tendency to devalue insufficient worldviews, ideologies, and quite often common sense for the greater good, and in such cases, one should not be discouraged when seen as a bad guy. If he stresses over man's perception of a righteous heart, then he has given his heart to man. "

― Criss Jami , Killosophy

5 " When we begin to reflect Christ, the Bible, when more understood as being centered around Christ, seems to be potentially every man's biography regarding God's promised experiences and truth for him - his individual, unique path of humbling oneself before the Lord and then being exalted by the Lord back into his true and righteous personhood. Many followers may speak of it merely to try to change other people (before changing themselves), but the prophets speak of it as a living word which miraculously tells their very own experiences. "

― Criss Jami , Killosophy

6 " In God's eyes, a man who teaches one truth and nothing else is more righteous than a man who teaches a million truths and one lie. "

― Criss Jami , Killosophy

7 " Aye me, how many perils do enfold
The righteous man, to make him daily fall?
Were not, that heavenly grace doth him uphold,
And steadfast truth acquite him out of all. "

― Edmund Spenser , The Faerie Queene, Book One

8 " Let me put it this way, my father believed in a righteous God. Deus volt, that was his motto- 'because God wills it.' It was the Crusaders' motto, and they went into battle and were slaughtered just like my father. And when I saw him lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, Clary, and there might not, but I don't think it matters. Either way we're on our own. "

― Cassandra Clare , City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)

9 " To be " in Christ" is to place one's trust in Him for salvation from sin. To be " in Christ" is to trust His goodness, not our own; to trust that His sacrificial death on the cross paid the complete debt of death we owe for our sin; to trust that His resurrection gives us eternal life instead of relying upon our own ability to please God. To be " in Christ" is to claim, by faith, the free gift of salvation. To be " in Christ" is to enjoy a completely restored relationship with our Father in heaven by virtue of His Son's righteous standing. "

10 " The righteous God promotes the cause of righteousness. "

11 " The Holy God performs righteous acts. "

12 " The holy God proved holy by his righteous acts. "

13 " Righteousness is of God, the righteous Ruler. "

14 " We must submit to God's righteous rule. "

― Lailah Gifty Akita

15 " Happiness comes from righteous living and the development of a noble character. You can observe this by noticing that people who are truly happy are honest, unselfish, kind, responsible and have a high moral standards. On the other hand, unhappy people are invariably selfish, lazy, irresponsible and lacking of self discipline. And people who are miserable tend to be immoral, dishonest, greedy, cruel, or in other ways dark in character. "

16 " One land also shall ask another, and say, ‘Is righteousness that makes a man righteous gone through thee?’ And it shall say, ‘No. "

― COMPTON GAGE

17 " The world hast fast to pass away- And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come: for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities. "

― COMPTON GAGE

18 " Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question of these things in their chambers, saying, " How long shall I hope on this fashion?" when cometh the fruit of the floor of our reward? "

19 " O Lord that bear rule, even we all are full of impiety. And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell upon the earth. "

― COMPTON GAGE

20 " Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace!
And, lips, oh you the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss a dateless bargain to engrossing death! "

― William Shakespeare , Romeo and Juliet
