Command Quotes - Page 7

• We must by every means humble our hearts and subdue our proud intellect, lest we should be like the contemporaries of the prophets, who looked on them only as sweet-voiced singers, and nothing more; they did not wish to fulfill their commands, they even despised, persecuted, beat and killed them; lest we should be like those, by whom 'no prophet is accepted in his own country' (Lk. 4:24).

• When you are depressed, bear in mind the Lord's command to Peter to forgive a sinner seventy times seven (cf. Mt. 18:22). And you may be sure that He Who gave this command to another will Himself do very much more.

• ...sabemos que Dios dispone las oportunidades de salvación de diferentes maneras. Nuestra situación es que respondemos con entusiasmo o de manera rezagada a estas oportunidades que Dios pone a nuestra disposición. Dios hizo el llamado sal de tu tierra; Abraham al salir estaba ejerciendo obediencia. Vino la instrucción a la tierra; se hizo, y ésa fue la obra de la obediencia. Pero la adición que les mostraré tiene que ver con la gracia de Dios, quien dio una orden - y una promesa.

• ¿Quién puede romper la ley? Si rompo este vaso, se caerá. Si alguien consigue desequilibrar un átomo, todos los demás átomos se desequilibrarán. . . . La ley nunca puede romperse. Cada átomo se mantiene en su lugar. Cada uno es pesado y medido y cumple su [propósito] y su lugar. Por Su mandato soplan los vientos, brilla el sol. Por Su mandato los mundos se mantienen en su lugar. Por Sus órdenes la muerte es deportiva sobre la tierra. Piensa en dos o tres dioses luchando en este mundo. No puede ser.

• I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word 'Whosoever' is a very wide and comprehensive one...My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.

• If you think you have no power over what happens in the outside world, this is a belief and an agreement you have made between yourself and the field of existence. Your cells hear this command about your place in reality and do everything possible to make certain, in whatever situation you meet, that you have no power over events. Your beliefs establish the instructions for how you want to operate your biological being, and in these times of tremendous acceleration, humankind is faced with the responsibility of learning how to manage the energy of thought

• El Estado es una organización de simples mortales a los que, por un método dudoso u otro, se les ha permitido ponerse el manto de la legitimidad política y ordenar obediencia bajo pena de encarcelamiento incluso a aquellos que nunca consintieron el absurdo acuerdo.

• Sometimes one touches on a very painful spot where one is almost too shy to look into it, but somehow one still has to go through it. And by going into it, one finally achieves a real command of oneself. One gains a thorough knowledge of oneself for the first time.

• Freedom and happiness come from understanding - and working with - our limits. Begin at once a program of self-mastery. Stick with your purpose. Do not seek external approval. Do not worry about anything outside of your control. The only things you command are your thoughts and actions. We choose our response. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.

  Epictetus

• No conozco ningún mandato divino. Sí conozco los más importantes de los humanos. No conozco las necesidades de un dios o de otro mundo. . . . Sí sé que en éste las mujeres hacen camisas a setenta céntimos la docena. Sé que las necesidades de la humanidad y de este mundo son infinitas, interminables, constantes e inmediatas. Tomarán todo nuestro tiempo nuestra fuerza nuestro amor y nuestros pensamientos; y nuestro trabajo aquí será sólo entonces comenzado.

• El Señor ordena a la esposa que sea sumisa. Negarse a someterse al marido es, por tanto, rebelarse contra Dios mismo. La sumisión al marido es una prueba de su amor a Dios, así como una prueba de amor a su marido. Por lo tanto, la esposa debe considerar la sumisión a su marido como un acto de obediencia a Cristo y no sólo a su marido.
