Mweemba Pious

Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master. – Oswald ChambersRate it:
It is almost impossible to become a pious person, without having any self-interest left within you. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
Pious” is a sword that the clever always use it to eliminate the truth. – Alireza Salehi NejadRate it:
Those who replace love in people’s life with bread, are deceitful, and call their deceit “pious”. – Alireza Salehi NejadRate it:
From one Soul of the Universe are all Souls derived. . .Of these Souls there are many changes, some into a more fortunate estate, and some quite contrary. . .Not all human souls but only the pious ones are divine. Once separated from the body, and after the struggle to acquire piety, which consists in knowing God and injuring none, such a soul becomes all intelligence. The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. Divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy. . .The soul passeth from form to form and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. Thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment and as vesture dost thou fold them up. Thou art from old, O Soul of Man yea, thou art from everlasting. – HermesRate it:
From the Gulistan Be not over much angry with thy slave; Treat him not unjustly, and pain not his feelings. True, thou mayst have bought him for ten direms; But 'twas not by thy power that he was created. There is a tradition of the Prophet--peace be upon him!--that on the day of the resurrection the greatest grief will be when the pious slave is carried to Paradise, and his worthless master is borne away to Hell. – SaadiRate it:
Poorly written novels--no matter how pious and edifying the behavior of the characters--are not good in themselves and are therefore not really edifying. – Flannery O'ConnorRate it:
The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing. – Aleister CrowleyRate it:
A pious man is one who would be an athiest if the king were. – Jean de La BruyereRate it:
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. – Aristotle, unknownRate it:
He is on a pious path and we are proud of him, all of Kashmir supports his cause. – Burhan WaniRate it:
Its closure and official pressure on its members is likely to push many pious Muslims out of officially registered mosques into underground ones. – Alexander KnyazevRate it:
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love. – Thomas à KempisRate it:
Memorizing the Koran is a considered a pious and worthy thing to do and many memorization competitions are held around the world, especially during Ramadan, it is believed to be the month during which Mohammed received the Koran. The chapters the Islamic State challenged its followers to memorize include. – Clarion ProjectRate it:
More than 90 percent of pious Muslim women in the Muslim world do not wear abayas. So we should not force people to wear abayas. – Sheikh MutlaqRate it:
O my God, what must a soul be like when it is in this state! It longs to be all one tongue with which to praise the Lord. It utters a thousand pious follies, in a continuous endeavor to please Him who thus possesses it. – Teresa of ÁvilaRate it:
People in the Taliban only respect him because he is a pious man, we don't see any hope that he would agree (to) or ... convince the Taliban to accept a peace deal. – Haji Agha LalaiRate it:
The IRPT, acting as a legal political force, had served as a lightning rod (for dissent), deflecting radical Islam, its closure and official pressure on its members is likely to push many pious Muslims out of officially registered mosques into underground ones. – Alexander KnyazevRate it:
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not. – C. S. LewisRate it:
The trouble-makers here are generally from a certain sector of Israeli society, dislocated young men from pious backgrounds, who simply hate Arabs as part of a race theory and are looking for a framework in which to act on that hatred, they have to be tackled individually. – Menachem LandowRate it:
These people have nothing to do with Islam, i believe my pious Kurdish brothers will give them the necessary answer on June 7. – President Tayyip ErdoganRate it:
