It is the chief joy of all holy beings to witness the joy and happiness of those around them.
Ellen G. White

I believe that religious witness should not mobilize public authority to impose a view where a decision is inherently private in nature or where people are deeply divided about whether it is... Americans are plainly and persistently divided about abortion and the fiat of government cannot settle the issue as a matter of conscience or of conduct.

The Jewish people and their fate are the living witness for the absence of redemption. This, one could say, is the meaning of the chosen people the Jews are chosen to prove the absence of redemption.

I don't really drink, but I've been around a lot of drinking and, at 18, when you start playing in bars, you start to witness the good, the bad and the ugly of alcohol as a source of escape. I wrote about it because I witnessed its use as a means of medicating - a lot of people using it to medicate themselves from hurt.
Dwight Yoakam

It is important to act as if bearing witness matters.
Maxine Kumin

Today we can only hear the voices and witness the imaginations of one-third of the world's people. We are all being robbed of the creativity and potential of the two-thirds of the world not yet online. Tomorrow, if we succeed, the Internet will truly represent everyone.

First you have to witness that you are stressing out: Oh, my trigger is here. The news is stressing me out or This line is so long. Let yourself feel it. You don't want to spiritually bypass these problems. Give yourself a couple of minutes to sit in the feeling. Acceptance sets you free from the stress of expectation.

Whatever the aspect, I've tried to provide clear witness to what I've found, to resonate well enough with the harmonics of the place that the tuning can be felt in the pictures.
Frank Gohlke
Image
How much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendour of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ!

Image
Suffering can give us opportunities to witness. The world is a gigantic hospital nowhere is there a greater chance to see the peace and joy of the Lord than when the journey though the valley is the darkest.
Billy Graham
Image
The real deep text of music and the whole reason that it has continued with the profundity and urgency that it has for over a thousand years, has to do with what the notes say, what the notes witness, different experiences of hope or doubt that people are able to distill and encode and pass on in this way.
