| John Selden | All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only we set it apart to his service -- just as a gardener brings his master a basket of apricots, and presents them; his lord thanks him, and perhaps gives him something for his pains, and yet the apricots were as much his lord's before as now. |
| John Selden | In my intellect, I may divide , just as in the candle I know there is both light and heat; yet put out the candle, and both are gone. |
| John Tauler | God does not lead all His servants by one road, nor in one way, nor at one time; for God is in all things; and that man is not serving God aright, who can only serve Him in his own self-chosen way. |
| John Tauler | He who desires to become a spiritual man must not be ever taking note of others, and above all of their sins, lest he fall into wrath and bitterness, and a judging spirit towards his neighbors. |
| John W Sadiq | When our Lord began his ministry he announced a manifesto, far more comprehensive, thoroughgoing, and revolutionary than any socialism, which spoke of the good news to the poor, release for prisoners, and recovery of sight to the blind. The Church must learn to stand solidly behind all efforts to bring fuller life to people. |
| John Wesley s | I was more convinced than ever that the preaching like an Apostle, without joining together those that are awakened and training them up in the ways of God, is only begetting children for the murderer. How much preaching has there been for these twenty years all over Pembrokeshire! But no regular societies, no discipline, no order or connection; and the consequence is, that nine in ten of the once-awakened are now faster asleep than ever. |
| John Woolman | I saw that a humble man, with the blessing of the Lord, might live on a little; and that where the heart is set on greatness, success in business did not satisfy the craving, but that commonly with an increase of wealth, the desire of wealth increased. |
| Jon Reid | Lord, remove every barrier the enemy has put in place, so that the only barrier which remains is the cross itself. |
| Jonathan Edwards | He that sees the beauty of holiness, or true moral good, sees the greatest and most important thing in the world Unless this is seen, nothing is seen that is worth seeing: for there is no other true excellence or beauty. |
| Jonathan Edwards | Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life. |
| Joseph Butler | It is come, I know not how, to be taken for granted, by many persons, that Christianity is not so much as a subject of inquiry; but that it is, now at length, discovered to be fictitious. And accordingly they treat it as if, in the present age, this were an agreed point among all people of discernment; and nothing remained, but to set it up as a principal subject of mirth and ridicule. |
| Joseph Glanvill | The union of a sect within itself is a pitiful charity; it's no concord of Christians, but a conspiracy against Christ; and they that love one another for their opinionative concurrence, love for their own sakes, not their Lord's. |
| Juvenal | Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another. |
| Kahlil Gibran | Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly but we consider it false and despise its adherents |
| Kathryn Lindskoog | To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a true man, and Christ was a true man. His prayer in Gethsemane, his sweat of blood, show that the preceding anxiety is a part of human affliction, which we must try to accept with some sort of submission. |
| Kathryn Lindskoog | There is much that is bad and meaningless in the universe, and the universe contains men who know that much is bad and meaningless. The Christian answer is that this is a good world gone wrong, but with a memory of what it should have been. |
| Kenneth W Porter | Beginning a short series of verse on Christ: ... They haled him, trembling, to the Judgement Seat. "O Lord, behold the man who made the nails that pierced Thy feet!" The Master laid a thin, scarred hand upon the shame-bowed head. "They were good nails," he said... |

| Kirsopp Lake | Faith is not belief in spite of evidence, but life in scorn of consequences -- a courageous trust in the great purpose of all things, and pressing forward to finish the work which is in sight, whatever the price may be. |
| Lana Turner | It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them. |
