Art... does not take kindly to facts, is helpless to grapple with theories, and is killed outright by a sermon.
Agnes Repplier
Image
I went to a Presbyterian college, you know, I was in... all the way, and so I remember doing my first sermon when I was 17, I was in high school. It wasn't a full twenty-five minute sermon, but for like ten minutes I got up and they let me do that, and it was on faith.
Woody Harrelson
Image
A man got up [after one of Huxley's 'sermons'] and said 'they had never heard anything like that in Norwich before'. Never 'did Science seem so vast and mere creeds so little'.
Adrian Desmond
Image
I was eight years old when I joined the Church, I preached my first sermon when I was fourteen, and yet I was a missionary for twenty years before I had a full vision of Christ as an ever-present Savior from sin. This vision of Christ is absolutely necessary for success.
Griffith John
Image
The best lessons, the best sermons are those that are lived.
Yolanda King
Image
I don't have a lot of time in the sermon anyway. The sermon is only 25 minutes, which to me is frighteningly short. So I feel as if I need to get into that pretty quickly and make it as practical and accessible as possible.
Max Lucado
Image
The cow to me is a sermon on pity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Much depends upon when and where you read a book. In the five or six impatient minutes before the dinner is quite ready, who would think of taking up the Faerie Queen for a stopgap, or a volume of Bishop Andrews's Sermons?
Charles Lamb
Image
A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No greater blessing could come to our land today than a revival of the spirit of religion. I doubt if there is any problem in the world today -- social, political, or economic -- that would not find happy solution if approached in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Image
Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts . . .
John Muir
Image
Gratitude is the praise we offer God: for teachers kind, benefactors never to be forgotten, for all who have advantaged me, by writings, sermons, converse, prayers, examples, for all these and all others which I know, which I know not, open, hidden, remembered, and forgotten.
Lancelot Andrewes
Image
Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
Martin Luther
Image
Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts and if people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish.
John Muir
Image
Jesus was short on sermons, long on conversations short on answers, long on questions short on abstraction and propositions, long on stories and parables short on telling you what to think, long on challenging you to think for yourself.
Brian D. McLaren
Image
Creativity has got to be the warp and woof, the heart and soul, of our sermons.
Max Lucado
Image
To regard the excesses of the passions as maladies has so salutary an effect that this idea renders all moral sermons useless.
Pierre-Claude-Victor Boiste
Image
Some of the greatest sermons that have ever been preached were preached by the singing of a song.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
I am a story teller. If I wanted to send a message I would have written a sermon.
Philip Pullman
Image
It would be difficult to determine whether the age is growing better or worse for I think our plays are growing like sermons, and our sermons like plays.
Anna Letitia Barbauld
Image
Most people are willing to take the Sermon on the Mount as a flag to sail under, but few will use it as a rudder by which to steer.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
Image
Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo
Image
I write all my sermons.
Joel Osteen
