More From John Milton

Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome; therefore i will depart unkissed.
Wind Foul Language Foul
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still.
Years Liberty Littles
People think of faith as being something that you don't really believe, a device in helping you believe simply it. of course that is quite wrong. as pascal says, faith is a gift of god. it is different from the proof of it. it is the kind of faith god himself places in the heart, of which the proof is often the instrument... he says of it, too, that it is the heart which is aware of god, and not reason. that is what faith is: god perceived by the heart, not be reason.
Believe Heart Thinking
The reality of living by faith as though we were already dead, of living by faith in open communion with god, and then stepping back into the external world as though we are already raised from the dead, this is not once for all, it is a matter of moment-by-moment faith, and living moment by moment. this morning's faith will never do for this noon. the faith of this noon will never do for suppertime . the faith of suppertime will never do for the next morning. thank god for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with god himself.
God Morning Communication
This book was not written because i wanted to offer a supreme model to the man who struggles; i wanted to show him that he must not fear pain, temptation or death - because all three can be conquered, all three have already been conquered. christ suffered pain, and since then pain has been sanctified. temptation fought until the very last moment to lead him astray, and temptation was defeated. christ died on the cross, and at that instant death was vanquished forever.
Pain Fear Book
Similar Quotes
But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of suffering : that is great, that belongs to greatness.
Pain Greatness Doubt
Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.
Pain Choices Sometimes
It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who i am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with. the challenge is accessing pain, angst, depression. . . it's more exciting because it gives me somewhere to go and allows me to tap into a part of myself that everyone can relate to.
Pain Who I Am Giving
I chose to present myself as one who comes from among the people, and i can be touched by their pain because i have my own.
Pain People My Own
