The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Throughout all the pain of enslavement and despotism, of inquisition, forced conversion, and massacre, the Jewish people has carried in its heart the yearning for freedom and has given this craving a folk expression which includes every soul in Israel, every single downtrodden pauperized soul!
Berl Katznelson
Image
The joy a person is usually seen to express at the conversion of another to his opinion is seldom more than the impulse of egotistical satisfaction at being considered worthy of didactic imitation.
Norm MacDonald
Image
Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Gaining insight into one's underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process
Albert Bandura
Image
The Lord Jesus will be revealed mightily, and will make bare his holy Arm, as well in the confusion of Antichrist, as in the conversion of the Jews, before the last judgment, and the end of all things.
George Gillespie
Image
I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.
Mother Teresa
Image
No one had to worry about Peter after his conversion. Your investigators can be that converted.
Richard G. Scott
Image
Conversion is the act of joining our hands to the pierced hand of the crucified Saviour. The new life begins with the taking of Christ's hand, and His taking hold, in infinite love, of our weak hands.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Image
Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down and erects a new structure. It is not the sewing on a patch of holiness but, with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles and practice.
Joseph Alleine
Image
Conversion is essential, but it is a beginning, not an end. The believer in Jesus Christ is not simply rescued from the penalty of his sin he is redeemed to love God and his neighbor so that others might come to know him.
Max Anders
Image
If we had about 100 years, that sort of slow cultural conversion would be exactly the thing to do. But physics is calling the tune here. We've got to respond to a timetable that physics has set for us.
Bill McKibben
Image
Why must conversions always come so late? Why do people always apologize to corpses?
David Brin
Image
The Government will not abandon the free conversion of the rouble
Dmitry Medvedev
Image
When conversion takes place, the process of revelation occurs in a very simple way - a person is in need, he suffers, and then somehow the other world opens up. The more you are in suffering and difficulties and are 'desperate' for God, the more He is going to come to your aid, reveal Who He is and show you the way out.
Seraphim Rose
Image
To change one's religion under the threat of force is no conversion but rather cowardice.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I had a calling, this is what happened, I've explained the story many times. I've had my priest on, I've had atheists on. When I explain my conversion to atheists, my personal series of events, they go, Oh, alright.
Jay Mohr
Image
The Bible, which ranges over a period of four thousand years, records but one instance of a death-bed conversion (the thief on the cross) - one that none may despair, and but one that none may presume.
Thomas Guthrie
Image
Like the famous mad philosopher said, when you stare into the void, the void stares also but if you cast into the void, you get a type conversion error. (Which just goes to show Nietzsche wasn't a C++ programmer.)
Charles Stross
Image
The decision to serve a mission will shape the spiritual destiny of the missionary, his or her spouse, and their posterity for generations to come. A desire to serve is a natural outcome of one's conversion, worthiness, and preparation.
Russell M. Nelson
Image
What has become alien to men is the human component of culture, its closest part, which upholds them against the world. They make common cause with the world against themselves, and the most alienated condition of all, the omnipresence of commodities, their own conversion into appendages of machinery, is for them a mirage of closeness.
Theodor Adorno
Image
A friend asked the author,If this conversion you speak about is truly supernatural, and why is it not more evident in the lives of so many Christians that I know?
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You cannot convert people beyond your own conversion.
James E. Faust
Image
The most zealous converters are always the most rancorous when they fail of producing conversion.
Charles Caleb Colton
