Inspirational Quotations  G-K
Dear Reader,
 
For over two decades I have collected quotes from books and magazines I’ve read as well as from internet searches when researching certain topics or themes.  This collection is made to be added to as I continue to collect and by you also if you have quotes you would like us to add to this working compilation.  Simply add them as a comment and once approved we will join them to the collection. 
            Three disclaimers:  1.  Oswald Chambers is my all-time hero as a writer-speaker and therefore you will find that by far he is the most quoted author/speaker.  If you have never heard of him, I highly recommend My Utmost For His Highest.   2.  This collection is heavily tilted towards ministry—if you are in ministry and love speaking and writing you will get the most out of this.  Regardless, there is much for anyone.  3.  Do not assume quotations reflect my viewpoint. I’ve included a vast array of thoughts and opinions not because I agree with them but because they are thought-provoking.  The beauty of language is often found in the formatting and word selection!  
            Finally, this collection is offered free.  If you find it to be useful and you frequently hunt for quotes for speaking or writing here, please consider donating to First Cause which you can do right on this website.  Your gift helps us build better speakers and writers globally!    Enjoy!

gods

You are told to worship your gods.  What are those gods, even according to yourselves?  What their actions, what their attributes?  Are they not all represented to you as the blackest of criminals?  Yet you are asked to serve them as the holiest of divinities.  Jupiter himself is a parricide and an adulterer.  What are the meaner deities but imitators of his vices?  You are told not to murder, but you worship murderers.  You are told not to commit adultery, and you make your prayers to an adulterer.  Oh, what is this but a mockery of the holiest part of man’s nature, which is faith?  Turn not to the God, the one, the true god, to whose shrine I would lead you.—Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton in The Last Days of Pompeii

Let us notice that no word is as meaningless as is the word god.—Francis Schaeffer in He Is There And He Is Not Silent

Intemperate

A man who makes his golf or his motor bicycle the centre of his life, or a woman who devotes all her thoughts to clothes or bridge or her dog, is being just as “intemperate” as  someone who gets drunk every evening.—C.S. Lewis in Christian Behaviour

Heroin

​            King Heroin is my shepherd, I shall always want,
            He maketh me to lie down in the gutters.
            He leadeth me beside the troubled waters.
            He destroyeth my soul.—Anonymous

Krishna

The fabrication of the incarnation and birth of Krishna was no doubt meant to answer a particular purpose of the Brahmins who were sorely vexed at the progress that Christianity was still making and were afraid that if it were not checked they would lose both their influence and emoluments. —J. Stewart in Nestorian Missionary Enterprise

King Louis IX

The fruit of his voyage and of his affliction was, that he returned a much better man, having increased in zeal, modesty, prudence, and diligence; and that he was more honoured and beloved by his people than he had ever been before his departure; and by the universal earth was held in singular admiration for his good life and constancy amidst dangers, as a miracle among kings.—John de Serres in Verit. Invent. De l’ Histoire de France
            
​Serfs belong to Jesus Christ as well as to us, and in a Christian kingdom we ought never to forget that they are our brothers.—Joseph Francois Michaud quoting King Louis IX in The History of the Crusades Vol. II

King

 . . . a people may let a King fall, yet still remain a people, but if a King let his people slip from him, he is no longer a King.—Abigail Adams
            
​A king does not abide within his tent while his men bleed and die upon the field. A king does not dine while his men go hungry, nor sleep when they stand at watch upon the wall. A king does not command his men’s loyalty through fear nor purchase it with gold; he earns their love by the seat of his own back and the pains he endures for their sake. That which comprises the harshest burden, a king lifts first and sets down last. A king does not require service of those he leads but provides it to them. He serves them, not they him . . . A king does not expend his substance to enslave men, but by his conduct and example makes them free.—Steven Pressfield in Gates of Fire

The holy monarch knew, that if kings are the images of God upon earth, they are never so truly so as when justice is seated beside them on the throne.—Joseph Francois Michaud in The History of the Crusades Vol. II

Kill

The killing of people, combatant or non-combatant, can for many men be a trying event, and sometimes an utterly devastating one. All the justifications in the world, legitimate or not, cannot sever them from their pain.—Patricia P. Driscoll and Celia Straus in Hidden Battle on Unseen Fronts
            
We cannot expect normal eighteen-year-0lds to kill someone and contain it in a healthy way.—Karl Marlantes inWhat It Is Like To Go To War
            
​Kill with a borrowed sword.—The Thirty-six Stratagems

Kenosis

The doctrine of the Kenosis is clear first to our heart, not to our head; it is the spiritual fact, not a thought-out fact.—Oswald Chambers in Bringing Sons Into Glory

Justify/Justification

Without justification it is impossible to have real peace. Conscience forbids it. Sin is a mountain between a man and God, and must be taken away. The sense of guilt lies heavy on the heart and must be removed. Unpardoned sin will murder peace. The true Christian knows all this well. His peace arises from a consciousness of his sins being forgiven, and his guilt being put away. … He has peace with God, because he is justified.--J.C. Ryle
