Quotations by John Stott (14)

John Stott was an English Anglican cleric and theologian who was noted as a leader of the worldwide evangelical movement. Here are some representative quotations by John Stott:

“A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on.”

“Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.”

“Baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.”

“Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.”

“Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.”

“Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.”

“Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins; it is itself the essence of all sin.”

“Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.”

“The concept of substitution lies at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man.”

“The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.”

“To ‘evangelize’… does not mean to win converts… but simply to announce the good news, irrespective of the results.”

“We live and die; Christ died and lived!”

“We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.”

“Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known.”

Quotations by John Stuart Mill (31)

John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher, political economist, Member of Parliament and civil servant. Here are some representative quotations by John Stuart Mill:

“All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.”

“All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people.”

“Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.”

“Among the facts of the universe to be accounted for, it may be said, is Mind; and it is self evident that nothing can have produced mind but mind.”

“Any participation, even in the smallest public function, is useful.”

“Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so.”

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.”

“Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage which it contained.”

“Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.”

“In all intellectual debates, both sides tend to be correct in what they affirm, and wrong in what they deny.”

“In this age, the mere example of nonconformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service.”

“It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.”

“It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet may have lightened the days toil of any human being.”

“Leaving things to the government, like leaving them to providence, is synonymous with not caring about them.”

“Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good the themselves, than by compelling each other to live as seems good to the rest.”

“No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought.”

“Nothing contributes more to nourish elevation of sentiments in a people, than the large and free character of their habitations.”

“One person with a belief is equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.”

“Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.”

“Stupidity is much the same all the world over. A stupid person's notions and feelings may confidently be inferred from those which prevail in the circle by which the person is surrounded. Not so with those whose opinions and feelings are an emanation from their own nature and faculties.”

“The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.”

“The great creative individual...is capable of more wisdom and virtue than collective man ever can be.”

“The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power.”

“There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.”

“There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism.”

“There is an imaginary circle drawn around every human being, over which no government should be able to step.”

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.”

“Whatever helps to shape the human being - to make the individual what he is, or hinder him from being what he is not - is part of his education.”

“Man without sense is like a blind man with a looking glass.”

“No one is disgusted with his own bad smell.”

“Not in time, place or circumstance, but in man lies success.”

“Nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

“Our thoughts determine our responses to life.”

He loves this food that contains no disgusting proofs of slain animals, a bloody slab of cow haunch, a hen's sinewy skeleton; these ghosts have been minced and destroyed and painlessly merged with the shapes of insensate vegetables, plump green bodies that invite his appetite's innocent gusto.
