Set NOT your hearts on the flowers of this world. They shall fade and die. Prize the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. He changes not! Live nearer to Christ than to any person on this earth so that when they are taken, you may have Him to love and lean upon.

To need nothing is divine, and the less a man needs the nearer does he approach to divinity.
Socrates
Image
I have a vision of the whole Church getting nearer to God by abiding by the precepts of the Book of Mormon.
Ezra Taft Benson
Image
It is the penalty of fame that a man must ever keep rising. Get a reputation, and then go to bed, is the absurdest of all maxims. Keep up a reputation or go to bed, would be nearer the truth.

The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
The Last Of England works with image and sound, a language which is nearer to poetry than prose. It tells its story quite happily in silent images, in contrast to a word-bound cinema.

Image
One will observe that all things are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence, and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
James Montgomery
Image
The tension between us kicked up a notch, and I realized that along with our bodies being nearer, so were our lips.
Richelle Mead
Image
We are not living in a world where all roads are radii if a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre: rather in a world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each of those into two again, and at each fork you must make a decision.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There is a side of friendship that develops better and stronger by correspondence than contact.... The absence of the flesh in writing perhaps brings souls nearer.
Emily Carr
Image
As man draws nearer to the stars, why should he not also draw nearer to his neighbor?
Lyndon B. Johnson

In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Every temptation is an opportunity of our getting nearer to God.
John Quincy Adams
Image
When it seems as if God is far away, remind yourself that He is near. Nearness is not a matter of geography. God is everywhere. Nearness is likeness. The more we become like the Lord, the nearer He is to us.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
Thou art never at any time nearer to God than when under tribulation which He permits for the purification and beautifying of thy soul.
Miguel de Molinos
Image
A garden should make you feel you've entered privileged space -- a place not just set apart but reverberant -- and it seems to me that, to achieve this, the gardener must put some kind of twist on the existing landscape, turn its prose into something nearer poetry.
Michael Pollan
Image
I may be wrong and you may be right, and by an effort, we may get nearer to the truth
