Holier Than Thou Quotes

• I am and always will be a sinner. But that's the beautiful thing about Jesus. I'll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I'm not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I'm holier than thou, 'cause I'm not!

  Billy Ray Cyrus

  Beautiful, Jesus, Eye

• I think it's noteworthy that the Almighty didn't act high and mighty. The Holy One wasn't holier-than-thou. The One who knew it all wasn't a know-it-all. The One who made the stars didn't keep his head in them. The One who owns all the stuff of earth never strutted it.

• I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I'm 'Ms. Manners.' That's not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

• Souls were the same. They, too, had useless baggage that impeded their proper performance, these annoying, holier-than-thou bits dangling like an appendix waiting for infection. Faith and hope and love...prudence, temperance, justice, and fortitude...all this useless clutter just packed too much damn morality into the heart, getting in the way of the soul's innate desire for malignancy.

• La profecía y la historia predicen y registran una gran apostasía universal a la que seguiría una restauración, como predijo Juan en el Apocalipsis. El hecho de la gran apostasía está atestiguado tanto por los escritos sagrados como por los seculares, y la historia atestigua que llegó a ser universal. Proclamamos este hecho de la historia no como un ataque a ninguna iglesia. No asumimos ninguna posición de "más santo que tú" o "más sabio que tú", sino que anunciamos este hecho histórico de la apostasía como una vindicación de la afirmación de que ha habido de hecho una restauración del evangelio.

• Ni siquiera pretendo que podamos adoptar la postura Lib Dem de los más santos que tú, de manos totalmente limpias y totalmente vacías. No, nos estamos ensuciando las manos, e inevitable y totalmente comprensiblemente se nos acusa de ser como cualquier otro político.
