III, sec,. IV, memb. 1, subsec. 5) The heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old!-- The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Manfred (act III, sc. 4) Man always worships something; always he sees the Infinite shadowed forth in something finite; and indeed can and must so see it in any finite thing, once tempt him well to fix his eyes thereon. - Thomas Carlyle, Essays--Goethe's Works Worship as though the Deity were present. If my mind is not engaged in my worship, it is as though I worshipped not. - Confucius It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow. - Calvin Coolidge Praise Him, each savage furious beast That on His stores do daily feast; And you tame slaves, of the laborious plough, Your weary knees to your Creator bow. - Wentworth Dillon, 4th Earl of Roscommon And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, in an address 'Tis certain that worship stands in some commanding relation to the health of man, and to his highest powers, so as to be, in some manner, the source of intellect. - Ralph Waldo Emerson I don't like your way of conditioning and contracting with the saints. Do this and I'll do that! Here's one for t'other. Save me and I'll give you a taper or go on a pilgrimage. - Desiderius Gerhard Erasmus, The Shipwreck This hour they worship, and the next blaspheme. - Sir Samuel Garth A little bread and wine in a dungeon sufficed for the liturgy of the martyrs. - Philip Gilbert Hamerton What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile; In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. - Reginald Heber, From Greenland's Icy Mountains--Missionary Hymn Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod, They have left unstained, what there they found,-- Freedom to worship God. - Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans, The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers Remember that God will not be mocked; that it is the heart of the worshiper which He regards. We are never safe till we love Him with our whole heart whom we pretend to worship. - Bishop Joseph Henshaw As the skull of the man grows broader, so do his creeds. And his gods they are shaped in his image and mirror his needs. And he clothes them with thunders and beauty, He clothes them with music and fire, Seeing not, as he bows by their altars, That he worships his own desire. - Donald Marquis (Donald Robert Perry Marquis) ("Don Marquis"), The God-Maker, Man For all of the creeds are false, and all of the creeds are true; And low at the shrines where my brothers bow, there will I bow too; For no form of a god, and no fashion Man has made in his desperate passion, But is worthy some worship of mine; Not too hot with a gross belief, Nor yet too cold with pride, I will bow me down where my brothers bow, Humble, but open eyed. - Donald Marquis (Donald Robert Perry Marquis) ("Don Marquis"), The God-Maker, Man Ev'n them who kept thy truth so pure of old, When all our fathers worshipp'd stocks and stones, Forget not. - John Milton, On the Late Massacre in Piedmont Displaying page 1 of 2 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2
