God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favourites, and afterwards throw theminto prison.

Acts of grace cannot be reversed.God blots out His people's sins, but not their names.

    Thomas Watson (2015). “All Things for Good”, p.75, Ravenio Books
  • Blessedness is within us all.

  • Man's highest blessedness, In wisdom chiefly stands; And in the things that touch upon the Gods, 'Tis best in word or deed To shun unholy pride; Great words of boasting bring great punishments, And so to grey-haired age Teach wisdom at the last.

    Wisdom   Pride   Men  
    Sophocles, Edward Hayes PLUMPTRE (Dean of Wells.) (1867). “The Tragedies of Sophocles. A new translation, with a biographical essay by E. H. Plumptre”, p.177
  • If the divine Logos of God the Father became son of man and man so that He might make men gods and the sons of God, let us believe that we shall reach the realm where Christ Himself now is; for He is the head of the whole body (cf. Col. 1:18), and endued with our humanity has gone to the Father as forerunner on our behalf. God will stand 'in the midst of the congregation of gods' (Ps. 82:1 LXX) - that is, of those who are saved - distributing the rewards of that realm's blessedness to those found worthy to receive them, not separated from them by any space.

  • Either to die the death or to abjure For ever the society of men. Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires; Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Whether, if you yield not to your father's choice, You can endure the livery of a nun, For aye to be in shady cloister mew'd, To live a barren sister all your life, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Thrice-blessed they that master so their blood, To undergo such maiden pilgrimage; But earthlier happy is the rose distill'd, Than that which withering on the virgin thorn Grows, lives and dies in single blessedness.

    Father   Blessed   Moon  
    William Shakespeare (1864). “The Works of William Shakespeare”, p.162
  • The activity of God, which is transcendent in blessedness, is the activity of contemplation; and therefore among human activities that which is most akin to the divine activity of contemplation will be the greatest source of happiness.

  • Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!

    Real   Blessed   Men  
    "Past and Present". Book by Thomas Carlyle, April 1843.
  • Commit yourself then to God! He will be your guide. He Himself will travel with you, as we are told He did with the Israelites, to bring them step by step across the desert to the promised land. Ah! what will be your blessedness, if you will but surrender yourself into the hands of God, permitting Him to do whatever He will, not according to your desires, but according to His own good pleasure?

    Trust   Hands   Land  
    Francois Fenelon (2014). “Spiritual Progress”, p.39, Lulu.com

  • It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.

  • The fault with all religions like Christianity is that they have one set of rules for all. But Hindu religion is suited to all grades of religious aspiration and progress. It contains all the ideals in their perfect form. For example, the ideal of Shanta or blessedness is to be found in Vasishtha; that of love in Krishna; that of duty in Rama and Sita; and that of intellect in Shukadeva. Study the characters of these and of other ideal men. Adopt one which suits you best.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2614, Manonmani Publishers
  • Do you know how much energy, how many powers, how many forces, are still lurking behind that frame of yours? What scientist has known all that is in man? Millions of years have passed since man came here, and yet but one infinitesimal part of his powers has been manifested. Therefore, you must not say that you are weak. How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.

    Lying   Ocean   Men  
    Swami Vivekananda “My Idea of Education”, Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
  • Little do ye know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.

    'Virginibus Puerisque' (1881) 'El Dorado'
  • Here I begin to know that blessedness is what can be snatched out the passing day and put away to think of afterwards.

    Ellis Peters (2016). “Brother Cadfael: The Complete Chronicles”, p.815, Head of Zeus Ltd
  • Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

    Thomas Carlyle (2014). “The Selected Works of Thomas Carlyle”, p.396, Lulu.com
  • Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of God and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for Spirit to know Itself, to find Itself, be for Itself, and finally unite itself to Itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to Itself...As existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'I'; as developed to its totality, it is free Spirit; as feeling, it is Love; and as enjoyment, it is Blessedness.

    Love   Struggle   Heaven  
  • It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. For the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. Humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. It is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. In perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for God: and it is lost and submerged in Him and transformed into Him.

    Thomas Merton (2007). “New Seeds of Contemplation”, p.181, New Directions Publishing
  • Modern science has as its object as little pain as possible, as long a life as possible - hence a sort of eternal blessedness, but of a very limited kind in comparison with the promises of religion.

    Pain   Long   Promise  
    Friedrich Nietzsche (2015). “A Book for Free Spirits 1: Human Book”, p.77, 谷月社
  • For no mortal ever attains to blessedness. One may be luckier than another when wealth flows his way, but blessed never.

    Blessed   Pride   May  
  • There is no compensation for the woman who feels that the chief relation of her life has been no more than a mistake. She has lost her crown. The deepest secret of human blessedness has half whispered itself to her, and then forever passed her by.

    George Eliot (2016). “Romola: Top Novelist Focus”, p.434, 谷月社
  • Dan clung to her in speechless gratitude, feeling the blessedness of mother love, — that divine gift which comforts, purifies, and strengthens all who seek it.

    Louisa May Alcott (2015). “The Complete Works of Louisa May Alcott (Illustrated): Novels, Short Stories, Plays & Poems: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys, A Modern Mephistopheles, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom, Jack and Jill, Behind a Mask, The Abbot's Ghost…”, p.1338, e-artnow
  • That which draws us by its mystical force; what every created thing, even the very stones, feels with absolute certainty as the center of its being... is the force of love. Christians call this "eternal blessedness." It is a necessity of man for growth and joy.

    Christian   Men   Joy  
  • Every Christian should find for himself the imperative and incentive to become holy. If you live without struggle and without hope of becoming holy, then you are Christians only in name and not in essence. But without holiness, no one shall see the Lord, that is to say they will not attain eternal blessedness. It is a trustworthy saying that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners (I Tim. 1:15). But we deceive ourselves if we think that we are saved while remaining sinners. Christ saves those sinners by giving them the means to become saints.
