Stewards Quotes - Page 3

• Every man, in proportion to his virtue, considers himself, with respect to the great community of mankind, as the steward and guardian of their interests in the property which he chances to possess. Every man, in proportion to his wisdom, sees the manner in which it is his duty to employ the resources which the consent of mankind has intrusted to his discretion.

  Percy Bysshe Shelley

• Eric Peters is a chronicler of his journey; he's been a faithful steward of the story God is telling through him, and this newest chapter, BiRDS OF RELOCATiON, is Eric's testimony that along the way there are moments of deep joy and gratitude-they may seem brief, but they're bright, and they're worth singing about. The joy I hear on this record heralds a long and welcome peace.

• Some of us believe humanity should be in divine partnership with nature, some people believe that man has been given by God the right to have dominion over nature. But since even they say that we should be good stewards, that right there should be the common ground.

• While writing is a mystical process, it's also work. If you show up to work five days in a row, nobody's going to pat you on the back - everyone does that. Well, do that with your writing. Just show up. Be there for it. When you get an idea, write it down somewhere and then be a steward of that idea.

• The idea that we are "stewards of the earth" is another symptom of human arrogance. Imagine yourself with the task of overseeing your body's physical processes. Do you understand the way it works well enough to keep all its systems in operation? Can you make your kidneys function? Can you control the removal of waste? Are you conscious of the blood flow through your arteries, or the fact that you are losing a hundred thousand skin cells a minute?

• I'm wise to be a good steward, but I'll never be my own rescuer. The worth thing you can do with fear and anxiety is to pretend you're too strong to have them. The best thing you can do is just to let Him be in charge of them

• Our time on earth and our energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships, and resources are all gifts from God that he has entrusted to our care and management. We are stewards of whatever God gives us. This concept of stewardship begins with the recognition that God is the owner of everything and everyone on earth. ... We never actually own anything during our brief stay on earth. God just loans the earth to us while we're here. It was God's property before you arrived, and God will loan it to someone else after you die.

• Si Dios era el dueño, yo era el administrador. Necesitaba adoptar una mentalidad de administrador hacia los bienes que Él me había confiado -no dado-. Un administrador gestiona los bienes en beneficio del propietario. El administrador no tiene ningún derecho sobre los bienes que gestiona. Su trabajo consiste en averiguar qué quiere el propietario que se haga con sus bienes y cumplir su voluntad.

• We have not wondered enough at the delights God has given us to appreciate them, and be good stewards. We have overworked the land, poured pollutants into river and stream, fouled the air we breathe with gas fumes and chemical smoke spiraling up from industrial chimneys. We have sown the wind. We are reaping the whirlwind.

• Think long and hard about the way you invest your children's time. Time is treasure. And where your time investment is, there you will find the heart of a child. Invest the majority of his time in entertainment, and his heart will be turned to love of pleasure. Invest his time in peers rather then family, and his heart will be with the peers more than his family. There is a time and place for all good things in balance, but wise parents will steward the treasure of time, and in so doing, shepherd their children's hearts.

• El problema de gran parte del debate sobre esta cuestión es que confundimos dos asuntos distintos: la política de inmigración (cuántas personas admitimos) y la política de inmigración (cómo tratamos a las personas que ya están aquí). Lo que nuestra nación necesita es una política pro-inmigración de baja inmigración. Una política pro-inmigrante de baja inmigración puede reconciliar la tradicional bienvenida de Estados Unidos a los recién llegados con las preocupantes consecuencias de la actual inmigración masiva. Nos permitiría ser fieles y sabios administradores de los intereses de Estados Unidos y, al mismo tiempo, mostrar a los inmigrantes el respeto que merecen como futuros estadounidenses.
