Self-denial does not belong to religion as characteristic of it; it belongs to human life; the lower nature must always be denied when you are trying to rise to a higher sphere. - Henry Ward Beecher Only the soul that with an overwhelming impulse and a perfect trust gives itself up forever to the life of other men, finds the delight and peace which such complete self-surrender has to give. - Phillips Brooks The lives of men who have been always growing are strewed along their whole course with the things they have learned to do without. - Phillips Brooks Great is self-denial! * * * Life goes all to ravels and tatters where that enters not. - Thomas Carlyle It is certainly much easier wholly to decline a passion than to keep it within just bounds and measures; and that which few can moderate almost anybody may prevent. - Pierre Charron Self-denial is often the sacrifice of one sort of self-love for another. - Charles Caleb Colton Self-denial is a virtue of the highest quality, and he who has it not, and does not strive to acquire it, will never excel in anything. - John Conybeare How happy one would be if one could throw off one's self as one throws off others! - Madame Marie Anne du Deffand Whoso lives for humanity must be content to lose himself. - Octavius Brooks Frothingham The first lesson in Christ's school is self-denial. - Matthew (Mathew) Henry Self-denial is a monkish virtue. - David Hume There is nothing fruitful except sacrifice. - Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire Teach him to deny himself. - Robert E. Lee Alas! this time is never the time for self-denial, it is always the next time. Abstinence is so much more pleasant to contemplate upon the other side of indulgence. - George MacDonald Pure self-denial is our good angel's hand barring the gates of sin. - Abbe Mullois Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the loftiest kind thereof comes only of a religious stock,--from consciousness of obligation and dependence upon God. - Theodore Parker Self-denial is the quality of which Jesus Christ set us the example. - Ary Scheffer There never did and never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in a character which was a stranger to the exercise of resolute self-denial. - Sir Walter Scott Self-denial is the best riches. - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
