Sermons are not like curious inquiries after new nothings, but pursuance of old truths. - Jeremy Taylor With a little hoard of maxims preaching down a daughter's heart. - Lord Alfred Tennyson, Locksley Hall (l. 94) A little, round, fat, oily man of God. - James Thomson (1), Castle of Indolence (canto I, st. 69) "Dear sinners all," the fool began, "man's life is but a jest, A dream, a shadow, bubble, air, a vapour at the best. In a thousand pounds of law I find not a single ounce of love, A blind man killed the parson's cow in shooting at the dove; The fool that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well, The wooer who can flatter most will bear away the belle" . . . . And then again the women screamed, and every staghound bayed; And why? because the motley fool so wise a sermon made. - George Walter Thornbury, The Jester's Sermon The sermon edifies, the example destroys. (Practice what you preach) [Lat., Le sermon edifie, et l'example detruit.] - Abbe de Villiers, from a story in L'Art de Precher Many a meandering discourse one hears, in which the preacher aims at nothing, and hits it. - Archbishop Richard Whately The minister's brain is often the "poor-box" of the church. - Edwin Percy Whipple Remember that God is as near to our mouth when we speak as that man is who leans his ear to our whispers. - Edward Young Displaying page 6 of 6 for this topic: << Prev 1 2 3 4 5 [6]
