Worship Quotes

Charlotte Perkins Gilman:

Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past!

Dorothy Thompson:

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

George Macdonald:

The world is a fine thing to save, but a wretch to worship.

Isocrates:

The noblest worship is to make yourself as good and as just as you can.

Mohandas K. Gandhi:

The Roots of Violence:
Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice,
Politics without principles.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.

Richard Francis Burton:

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.

Sarah Ban Breathnach:

An authentic life is the most personal form of worship. Everyday life has become my prayer.

Thomas Jefferson:

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.
letter to Connecticut Baptists
