I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.
Malcolm X
I have more esteem for a person who openly expresses their opinion, even if it is erroneous, than one who appears to be angelic yet behaves like a fiend.
2.
From the beginning of my Reformation I have asked God to send me neither dreams, nor visions, nor angels, but to give me the right understanding of His Word, the Holy Scriptures; for as long as I have God's Word, I know that I am walking in His way and that I shall not fall into any error or delusion.
Martin Luther
3.
Every single night our soul is taken, and every single night the Angel asks before bringing it back, "Ya Allah what about this one?" "Do You want to send it back?" Do You want to pull the plug or should we keep the Ruh (soul)?" And every night Allah gives permission to the Angel to let us live one more time."
Nouman Ali Khan
4.
Allah, the Exalted, gave the angels intellect without desires, He gave the animals desires without intellect, and He gave both to the sons of Adam. So a man whose intellect prevails over his desires is better than the angels, whilst a man whose desire prevails over his intellect is worse than the animals.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
5.
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker.
Marilyn Monroe
I am competent, but not divine. I transgress, but I am not evil. I am attractive, yet not gorgeous. I have acquaintances, however I am not the mediator.
6.
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
Paul the Apostle
If I had the ability to communicate in every language known to humankind and beyond, yet lacked compassion for my fellow man, my existence would be nothing more than a cacophonous clamor.
7.
I was shocked when I found out who the biggest failure in the Bible actually is...The biggest one in the whole Bible is God...I mean, He lost His top-ranking, most anointed angel; the first man He ever created; the first woman He ever created; the whole earth and all the fullness therein; a third of the angels, at least - that's a big loss, man....Now, the reason you don't think of God as a failure is He never said He's a failure. And you're not a failure till you say you're one.
Kenneth Copeland
8.
I would permit no man, no matter what his colour might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
Booker T. Washington
I would not allow anyone, regardless of their race, to blight my spirit by inciting me to loathe them.
9.
sometimes it's better to be with the devil u know than the angel u didn't know
Al Pacino
It is preferable to deal with the familiar devil than to trust an unfamiliar angel.
10.
Learn to dance, so when you get to heaven the angels know what to do with you.
Saint Augustine
Absorb the rhythm, so when you ascend to paradise the seraphim can show you the steps.
11.
There is a baptism that belongs to Jesus. It is in His supreme control. No angel or man can bestow it. It comes from Him alone. He it is which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. So the individual who wants the Holy Spirit must come into definite, conscious contact with Jesus Christ Himself.
John G. Lake
12.
Angels are totally real. Tinkerbell has a hot ass. Wendigos exist. It's all true. Satan is blonde. True fact.
Misha Collins
13.
Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
John Vianney
Do not attempt to placate everyone. Strive to satisfy God, the celestial beings, and the holy individuals - they are your audience.
14.
I've got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and
2/3 of the angels. What do you think I'm going to do? Sit down
and cry?
Leonard Ravenhill
15.
Every raindrop that falls is accompanied by an angel, for even a raindrop is a manifestation of being.
Muhammad
Each raindrop that descends carries a guardian, for even a raindrop is an exemplar of existence.
16.
One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.
Sarojini Naidu
One needs a Sage's Perception and a Seraphic tongue to be of any assistance. I am not aware of any Indigenous person nowadays who possesses these talents in their utmost capacity.
17.
Happiness is an angel with a serious face
Amedeo Modigliani
Contentment is a cherub with an earnest countenance.
18.
She's a devil, she's an angel, she's a woman, she's a child. She's a heartache when she leaves you, but she'll leave you with a smile.
George Strait
She's a fiend, she's a saint, she's an adult, she's an infant. She'll break your heart when she departs, but still leave you with a grin.
19.
The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments.
They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul.
If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away.
If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.
Meister Eckhart
20.
The reason I love the sea I cannot explain - it's physical. When you dive you begin to feel like an angel. It's a liberation of your weight.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The motivator that draws me to the sea is mysterious - almost sensuous. When you plunge into its depths, you feel as if you have been transformed into a divine being. It's a sensation of weightlessness and freedom.
21.
Better the devil you know than the angel you don't.
Hama Tuma
'Familiarity breeds contentment.'
22.
When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.
Mary Baker Eddy
When divine messengers come to us, we cannot detect the flapping of wings or the soft caress of a dove; however, we recognize their presence through the love that blossoms in our hearts.
23.
All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are.
Pablo Neruda
No matter the route taken, the ultimate aim is to express our identity.
24.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
Saint Augustine
'Arrogance transformed heavenly beings into fiends; only meekness can make mortals akin to seraphs.'
25.
We have a demon, we have an angel inside, within our souls, and you just play with it, and sometimes the evil part of you wins the battle, in a very important decision, or in a bedtime, with your lover. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Demian Bichir
26.
The Devil writes down our sins - our Guardian Angel all our merits. Labor that the Guardian Angel's book may be full, and the Devil's empty.
John Vianney
Work diligently to ensure that your benevolent protector's record of good deeds is overflowing, while the malevolent one's account is barren.
27.
I hold a beast, an angel and a madman within me.
Dylan Thomas
I possess a savage, an angelic being and a lunatic inside me.
28.
Let's just say I'm like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it's time to continue the journey. I once told a friend, `I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing - one that couldn't fly away.'
Jimmy Page
29.
Be good. This will make your angel happy. When sorrows and misfortunes, physical or spiritual, afflict you, turn to your guardian angel with strong trust and he will help you.
John Bosco
30.
If a man's patience is stronger than his whims and desires, then he is like an angel, but if his whims and desires are stronger than his patience, then he is like a devil. If his desire for food, drink and sex is stronger than his patience, then he is no better than an animal.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
31.
The first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.
John Vianney
32.
I am now experiencing perfect health, abundant prosperity and complete and utter happiness. This is true because the world is full of charming people who now lovingly help me in every way. I am now coming into an innumerable company of angels. I am now living a delightful, interesting and satisfying life of the most widely useful kind. Because of my own increased health, wealth and happiness, I am now able to help others live a delightful, interesting and satisfying life of the most widely useful kind, my good - our good - is universal.
Catherine Ponder
33.
The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying 'Thus saith the Lord;' it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin, and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration
Charles Wesley
34.
Jesus honored her before all ages, and will honor her for all ages. No one comes to Him, nor even near Him, no one is saved or sanctified, if he too will not honor her. This is the lot of Angels and of men.
Maximilian Kolbe
35.
And through it all she offers me protection,
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
where ever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
when I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead.
Robbie Williams
36.
To me, my nephew is the angel of my world. It is my absolute happiest moment whenever he smiles at me.
Li Bingbing
37.
I'm not a man who constantly thinks up jokes. But I think it's very important to be able to see the funny side of life and its joyful dimension and not to take everything too tragically. I'd also say it's necessary for my ministry. A writer once said that angels can fly because they don't take themselves too seriously. Maybe we could also fly a bit if we didn't think we were so important.
Pope Benedict XVI
38.
Mind you, sometimes the angels smoke, hiding it with their sleeves, and when the archangel comes, they throw the cigarettes away: that’s when you get shooting stars.
Vladimir Nabokov
39.
Come Fairies,
take me out of this dull world,
for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!
William Butler Yeats
40.
So valuable to heaven is the dignity of the human soul that every member of the human race has a guardian angel from the moment the person begins to be.
St. Jerome
41.
I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ's birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It's nice to find theological justification for your quirks.
Rich Mullins
42.
The Glorious Virgin did not have a stain in her birth because she was santified in her mother's womb and safeguarded there by angels.
Anthony of Padua
43.
Armed and dangerous, ain't too many can bang with us
Straight up weed no angel dust, label us Notorious
Thug ass niggaz that love to bust, it's strange to us
Y'all niggaz be scramblin, gamblin
Up in restaraunts with mandolins, and violins
We just sittin here tryin to win, tryin not to sin
High off weed and lots of gin
So much smoke need oxygen, steadily countin them Benjamins
The Notorious B.I.G.
44.
Be ever more convinced that your guardian angel is really present, that he is ever at your side. St. Frances of Rome always saw him standing before her, his arms clasped at his breast, his eyes uplifted to Heaven; but at the slightest failing, he would cover his face as if in shame, and at times, turn his back to her.
John Bosco
46.
Salt, gathered from the tears of a thousand angels, restraining the essence of Sammael, the Hellhound. The Seed of Destruction. This I can promise, Sammael, for every one of you that falls, two shall arise.
Grigori Rasputin
48.
I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit.
Mae West
49.
Chase away the demons, and they will take the angels with them.
Joni Mitchell
50.
The guardian angels of life sometimes fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us.
Jean Paul
