  • Devotion Quote #1

    [I]f the name of wife appears more sacred and more valid, sweeter to me is ever the word friend, or, if thou be not ashamed, concubine ... And thou thyself wert not wholly unmindful of that ... [as in the narrative of thy misfortunes] thou hast not disdained to set forth sundry reasons by which I tried to dissuade thee from our marriage, from an ill-starred bed; but wert silent as to many, in which I preferred love to wedlock, freedom to a bond. I call God to witness, if Augustus, ruling over the whole world, were to deem me worthy of the honour of marriage, and to confirm the whole world to me, to be ruled by me forever, dearer to me and of greater dignity would it seem to be called thy concubine than his empress.

    Héloïse d'Argenteuil

    M.F. Moonzajer

  • Devotion Quote #5

    A real woman's blood pressure will go up when another man touch her, in anger of me losing my dignity and not because she likes it.

    Unarine Ramaru

  • Devotion Quote #6

    A sacrifice is not about expecting God to break the bond you have with another person. You make the sacrifice on your own because God is more important than the bond.

    Shannon L. Alder

  • Devotion Quote #7

    All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one, you need not covet it) is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.

    Jane Austen

  • Devotion Quote #8

    Always being truthful gives you a certain kind of freedom. It springs forth like a fountain splashing throughout your body until it floods your soul. To be honest and to be trustworthy are great attributes. Ah, the power, Ah, the freedom

    Amaka Imani Nkosazana

  • Devotion Quote #9

    And if we ask how are we to know where our hearts are, the answer is just as simple - everything which hinders us from loving God above all things and acts as a barrier between ourselves and our obedience to Jesus is our treasure, and the place where our heart is.

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  • Devotion Quote #10

    And it is a strange thing about love... it is that it can take a strength that would seem otherwise insignificant and transform it into a hardly quenchable power.

    Steven J. Carroll

  • Devotion Quote #11

    Another name for destiny is opportunity, once you miss it, your destiny is gone.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • Devotion Quote #12

    Anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it.

    J. Wilbur Chapman

  • Devotion Quote #13

    As lost as I get, I will find you, Heather. Always - Dante

    Adrian Phoenix

  • Devotion Quote #14

    As they left the restaurant and mounted the stairs he looped an arm around her shoulders and hugged her to him, willing her to love him as much as he loved her. Even a fraction of the amount would be enough.

    Emily Arden

  • Devotion Quote #15

    Attempting to contain the infinite within finite symbolism of language may result in scholarship, but it will not produce devotion. (110)

    Prem Prakash

  • Devotion Quote #16

    Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite, and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil.

    Rabindranath Tagore

  • Devotion Quote #17

    Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

    Bob Dylan

  • Devotion Quote #18

    both pleasure and devotion require a stress-free space in which to flourish

    Elizabeth Gilbert

  • Devotion Quote #19

    But if God and immortality be repudiated, what is left? That is the question usually thrown at the atheist's head. The orthodox believer likes to think that nothing is left. That, however, is because he has only been accustomed to think in terms of his orthodoxy. In point of fact, a great deal is left.

    That is immediately obvious from the fact that many men and women have led active, or self-sacrificing, or noble, or devoted lives without any belief in God or immortality. Buddhism in its uncorrupted form has no such belief; nor did the great nineteenth-century agnostics; nor do the orthodox Russian Communists; nor did the Stoics. Of course, the unbelievers have often been guilty of selfish or wicked actions; but so have the believers. And in any case that is not the fundamental point. The point: is that without these beliefs men and women may yet possess the mainspring of full and purposive living, and just as strong a sense that existence can be worth while as is possible to the most devout believers.

    Julian Huxley

  • Devotion Quote #20

    But inside is my Emmy. She remembers all our adventures together. She knows that for a short time, we had it all.

    Abbi Glines

  • Devotion Quote #21

    But when physical appearance evades the scrutiny of our senses and enters the sanctuary of our hearts, then it can forget itself. I know, from my childhood's experience, how devotion is beauty itself, in its inner aspect.

    Rabindranath Tagore

  • Devotion Quote #22

    But why will God not speak to me?...I think when God is silent, He wants us to prove in our hearts that we are willing to follow Him no matter the cost. If all answers were crystal-clear, how could we show our devotion to Him?

    Jennifer Beckstrand

  • Devotion Quote #23

    Can you please leave my ear alone? You gonna take care of it when it falls off from all the chomping you do on it every day?

    I'll just give you mine. My eyes, my ears, and my heart, too...I can give you everything if you ever need it, my sweet fox. So...keep staying by my side, like you are right now.

    Hajin Yoo

  • Devotion Quote #24

    Death doesn’t end our devotion. It only makes it stronger.

    James W. Bodden

  • Devotion Quote #25

    Devote yourself to getting to know Him better, then you will grow in that righteousness which is in you, in peace, in joy and God will look after other people and solve their problems for them.

    Sunday Adelaja

  • Devotion Quote #26

    Devote yourself to living completely and sharing your unique brilliance.

    Bryant McGill

  • Devotion Quote #27

    Devotion gradually progresses to higher levels. . . . One type goes to God and asks Him to remove his suffering. Another one will ask for money or material things. A third will request liberation or release from his bondage. And the fourth will not ask for anything. He will just enjoy praying and praising his Lord. That is the highest form of prayer. (Beyond Word, 119)

    Swami Satchidananda

  • Devotion Quote #28

    Devotion is diligence without assurance.

    Elizabeth Gilbert

  • Devotion Quote #29

    Did you know I always thought you were braver than me? Did you ever guess that that was why I was so afraid? It wasn't that I only loved some of you. But I wondered if you could ever love more than some of me.

    I knew I'd miss you. But the surprising thing is, you never leave me. I never forget a thing. Every kind of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn't happen twice. And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn't seem broken at all. I know young people look at me and think my youth seems so far away, but it's all around me, and you're all around me. Tiger Lily, do you think magic exists if it can be explained? I can explain why I loved you, I can explain the theory of evolution that tells me why mermaids live in Neverland and nowhere else. But it still feels magic.

    The lost boys all stood at our wedding. Does it seem odd to you that they could have stood at a wedding that wasn't yours and mine? It does to me. and I'm sorry for it, and for a lot, and I also wouldn't change it.

    It is so quiet here. Even with all the trains and the streets and the people. It's nothing like the jungle. The boys have grown. Everything has grown. Do you think you will ever grow? I hope not. I like to think that even if I change and fade away, some other people won't.

    I like to think that one day after I die, at least one small particle of me - of all the particles that will spread everywhere - will float all the way to Neverland, and be part of a flower or something like that, like that poet said, the one that your Tik Tok loved. I like to think that nothing's final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don't, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the woods, and that I'll see you sometime again, even if it's not with any kind of eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy. Even for you and Tik Tok. and for you and me.

    Always,
    Your Peter

    P.S. Please give my love to Tink. She was always such a funny little bug.

    Jodi Lynn Anderson

  • Devotion Quote #30

    Dig Deep! When the task at hand seems to be very difficult. Dig Deep! Whenever you feel you're drifting away from your intended course. Dig Deep! When others doubt you and say it can't be done. Dig Deep! Whenever you feel like giving up. Dig Deep! When life throws you a curve ball. If you quit, you'll never hit that homerun
