  • An earthly immortality belongs to a great and good character. History embalms it; it lives in its moral influence, in its authority, in its example, in the memory of the words and deeds in which it was manifested; and as every age adds to the illustrations of its efficacy, it may chance to be the best understood by a remote posterity.

    Edward Everett (1850). “Orations and speeches on various occasions”, p.576

    Law   Giving   Negative  
    Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison (2010). “The Federalist: A Commentary on the Constitution of the United States”, p.508, Modern Library

  • Convictions that outcomes are determined by one's own actions can be either demoralizing or heartening, depending on the level of self-judged efficacy.

    Self   Views   Skills  
  • Whom God legally saves, He experimentally saves; whom He justifies, them He also sanctifies. Where the righteousness of Christ is imputed to an individual, a principle of holiness is imparted to him; the former can only be ascertained by the latter. It is impossible to obtain a Scriptural knowledge that the merits of Christ's finished work are reckoned to my account, except by proving that the efficacy of the Holy Spirit's work is evident in my soul.

  • Comparative appraisals of efficacy require not only evaluation of one;s own performances but also knowledge of how others do, cognizance of nonability determinants of their performances, and some understanding that it is others, like oneself, who provide the most informative social criterion for comparison

    Albert Bandura (1986). “Social foundations of thought and action: a social cognitive theory”, Prentice Hall
  • One thing, however, I must premise, that without the assistance of natural capacity, rules and precepts are of no efficacy.

  • [Attributional] factors serve as conveyors of efficacy information that influence performance largely through their intervening effects on self-percepts of efficacy

  • It is widely assumed that beliefs in personal determination of outcomes create a sense of efficacy and power, whereas beliefs that outcomes occur regardless of what one does result in apathy

  • Such letters...from the FDA, are, filled with objectively demonstrable lies, practiced deceptions and deviousness, red herrings, directed misinformation, misdirected information, etc. ...Once FDA-NCI-AMA-ACS...concedes that Laetrile anti-tumor efficacy was indeed even once observed...a permanent crack in bureaucratic armor has taken place.

    Lying   Taken   Dark  
  • Faith does not come to Calvary to do anything. It comes to see the glorious spectacle of all things done, and to accept this completion without a misgiving as to its efficacy. It listens to the It is finished! of the Sin-bearer, and says, Amen.

    Doe   Done   Sin  
    Horatius Bonar, Rev Terry Kulakowski, Editor “THE EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS”, Lulu.com
  • Self-efficacy beliefs differ from outcome expectations, judgments of the likely consequence [that] behavior will produce.

  • . . . [The Judicial Branch] may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.

    Branches   May   Arms  
    The Federalist no. 78 (1788)
  • The day when efficacy would prevail over truth will never come for the Church, for then the gates of hell would have prevailed against her.

    Church   Hell   Efficacy  
    Jacques Maritain (1997). “Untrammeled approaches”
  • The (Laetrile) efficacy tests...clinically in humans..(by) the US NCI...were obviously conducted so that a negative result could be formulated. The limited number and types of human cancer cases selected...the omission of necessary additional measures ('e.g dietary'), the far too short observation periods, and the undefined chemical properties of the (Laetrile)... all contributed to devaluation of...conclusions.

  • People are much more likely to act on their self-percepts of efficacy inferred from many sources of information rather than rely primarily on visceral cues. This is not surprising because self knowledge based on information about one's coping skills, past accomplishments, and social comparison is considerably more indicative of capability than the indefinite stirrings of the viscera

    Past   Self   Skills  
    Albert Bandura (1986). “Social foundations of thought and action: a social cognitive theory”, Prentice Hall
  • It is not scholarship alone, but scholarship impregnated with religion, that tells on the great mass of society.

    Thomas Chalmers (1833). “On Political Economy: In Connexion with the Moral State and Moral Prospects of Society”, p.342
  • To the best of my knowledge, every acute inpatient ward offers some inpatient group therapy experience. Indeed, the evidence supporting the efficacy of group therapy, and the prevailing sentiment of the mental health profession, are sufficiently strong that it would be difficult to defend the adequacy of the inpatient unit that attempted to operate without a small group program.

    Irvin D. Yalom (1983). “Inpatient Group Psychotherapy”, Basic Books
  • For the spiritual efficacy of the Sacrament doth not depend upon the nature of the thing received, supposing we received what our Lord appointed, and receive it with a right preparation and disposition of mind, but upon the supernatural blessing that goes along with it, and makes it effectual to those spiritual ends for which it was appointed.

    John Tillotson (1685). “A Discourse Against Transubstantiation”, p.30

  • We hear in these days of scientific enlightenment a great deal of discussion about the efficacy of Prayer. Many reasons are given why we should not pray. Others give reasons why we should pray. Very little is said of the reason we do pray. The reason is simple: We pray because we cannot help praying.

    Prayer   Science   Simple

    Ministry   May   Speak  
    John Calvin (2012). “John Calvin's Commentaries On St. Paul's First Epistle To The Corinthians Vol.1 (Annotated Edition)”, p.253, Jazzybee Verlag
