God cannot be found outside you, because there is no God who can ever be outside you. God is the ultimate fragrance of your consciousness. When your consciousness opens like a lotus, the fragrance that is released is God - better to call it godliness.
Rajneesh
Image
Love is next to Godliness with certain safeguards.
Barbara Cartland
Image
When my children hear godliness out of my mouth and they see wickedness in my life, then I point them to heaven and I lead them to hell.
Alistair Begg
Image
I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily. Opposition to godliness is atheism in profession and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
Isaac Newton
Image
Cleanliness', chuckled Sir Benjamin, noting his great niece's delighted smile as her eyes rested upon him, 'comes next to godliness, eh, Maria?
Elizabeth Goudge
Image
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.
J. C. Ryle
Image
I think that there are many things in the New Testament that show us that the godliness of our conversation plays an important evangelistic role. The apostles are clear that we mustn't limit the explicit sharing of the gospel to formal preaching. It can also happen in ordinary conversations.
Mark Dever
Image
Nothing whatever pertaining to godliness and real holiness can be accomplished without grace .
Saint Augustine
Image
If God rewarded the righteous immediately, we would soon be engaged in business, not godliness...we would be pursuing not piety,but profit.
Clement of Alexandria
Image
Precisely this is godliness--that there are gods, but no God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Stale godliness is ungodliness. Let our religion be as warm, and constant, and natural as the flow of the blood in our veins. A living God must be served in a living way.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You can call it godliness - it IS godliness. It is the highest, the greatest flowering of being. But it is not a God somewhere outside you. You cannot pray to it. You can be it, but you cannot pray to it, because it is not separate.
Rajneesh
Image
The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness carefulness into vigorousness vigorousness into guiltlessness guiltlessness into abstemiousness abstemiousness into cleanliness cleanliness into godliness.
Francis Bacon
Image
I go out into America, and I am literally navigating a minefield. Godliness has become abnormal.
Si Robertson
Image
The idea is not to do good because of the praise of men but to do good because in doing good we develop godliness within us, and this being the case we shall become allied to godliness, which will in time become part and portion of our being.
Lorenzo Snow
Image
Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
Classically, very few people have considered that cleanliness is next to godliness. A rank loincloth and hair in an advanced state of matted entanglement have generally been the badges of office of prophets whose injunction to disdain earthly things starts with soap.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Let us cleave... to those who cultivate peace with godliness, and not to those who hypocritically profess to desire it. For the Scripture says in a certain place (Mk. 7:6), 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts is far from Me.'
Pope Clement I
Image
Christian practice is that evidence which confirms every other indication of true godliness.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
There's nothing new about anti-work philosophy. History is dotted with individuals and groups who decided that laziness was next to godliness and work was a waste of time.
Tom Hodgkinson
Image
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
J. I. Packer
Image
God has spoken to man, and the Bible is his Word, given to us to make us wise unto salvation... Godliness means responding to God's revelation in trust and obedience, faith and worship, prayer and praise, submission and service. Life must be seen and lived in the light of God's Word. This, and nothing else, is true religion.
J. I. Packer
Image
Truthfulness is godliness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If truth were told, most of us spend longer each day on personal cleanliness than on practical godliness.
