God judges men from the inside out; men judge men from the outside in. Perhaps to God, an extreme mental patient is doing quite well in going a month without murder, for he fought his chemical imbalance and succeeded; oppositely, perhaps the healthy, able and stable man who has never murdered in his life yet went a lifetime consciously, willingly never loving anyone but himself may then be subject to harsher judgment than the extreme mental patient. It might be so that God will stand for the weak and question the strong.
~ Criss Jami
The theistic philosopher has a tendency to devalue insufficient worldviews, ideologies, and quite often common sense for the greater good, and in such cases, one should not be discouraged when seen as a bad guy. If he stresses over man's perception of a righteous heart, then he has given his heart to man.
Of course, in our train of thought, we would all like to think we're on the right track, or at least the same railroad company as the right track.
Aye me, how many perils do enfoldThe righteous man, to make him daily fall?Were not, that heavenly grace doth him uphold,And steadfast truth acquite him out of all.
~ Edmund Spenser
Man is not defiled by his impurities. It is the other man pointing out his impurities to him, whom he is defiled by. Is there anything anyone can do, to become righteous, anyway? God made us impure. If he had a problem with that, He would have made us gods, instead.
~ C. Joybell C.
God favors men and women who delight in being made worthy of happiness before the happiness itself.
Let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.
~ Anonymous
The Weight of One FeatherGiven.Many fear deathBecause they alreadyFeel ridden with sin,But no man on this earthIs filled with only white lightWithin.Have more faithIn our Maker,For our souls and mindsWere created by Him.Just remember that,When your deedsAre measuredBy the scale – The good sideMust outweighThe bad,And your heartMust be as lightAs a featherTo win.

I had no real communication with anyone at the time, so I was totally dependent on God. And he never failed me.
~ Diet Eman
(Thinking while being interrogated by the Germans) You big shots think you can decide on my life, but I have news for you: you can't touch a hair on my head without the will of God my Father, because He is on my side.
The Holy God performs righteous acts.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
The holy God proved holy by his righteous acts.
Righteousness is of God, the righteous Ruler.
If you boil it down, just because someone else does the wrong thing we are not exempt from doing what’s right.
~ E.a. Bucchianeri
Christianity is faith in a Righteous God .
~ Lailah Gfty Akita
The best of knowledge and righteous acts are those hidden to the people.
~ Al-Fudhayl Ibn Iyyadh
To reject the word of God is to rebel against righteous life.
The Kingdom of God is about peace, love, joy and righteousness
~ Sunday Adelaja
The devil hates the people who build the broken walls, he detests those who restore them
Rejecting people for who and what they are will not make you a better, more 'righteous' or more 'moral' person - than the other person, or even in your own right - in fact, if that's why you're doing it, it is far more likely to do the opposite.
~ Christina Engela
The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.
~ Jeff Cooper
Most priests wish they were as righteous as they seem to most members of their congregations.
~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
The primary goal of a righteous parent who has a daughter is to minimize the number of boys and men for whom their daughter will have willingly opened her legs come her wedding day; the closer to zero, the more righteous they will seem.
For the believer, humility is honesty about one's greatest flaws to a degree in which he is fearless about truly appearing less righteous than another.
If we want truth and justice to rule our global village, there must be no hypocrisy. If there is no truth, then there will be no equality. No equality, no justice. No justice, no peace. No peace, no love. No love, only darkness.
When someone is angry and hateful toward you ~ they spit out all kinds of venom, to inflict you with unnecessary hurt and pain. But when you know who you are within, and you stand by your truth, their venom cannot poison you, its arrow turns and points straight back at them! To be humble and virtuous is a trait of the noble and the righteous
~ Angie Karan
It does not matter what religion you are, so long as your conscience guides your words and actions. We are all reflections of God means we are all reflections of his image — which is LIGHT. There is only one God and that is the cosmic heart of the universe — whatever you choose to call him or her. The heart within us is what connects us to God (the heart of the universe). This super basic concept is preached in all religions. God is TRUTH and LIGHT, and only through your conscience do you connect to him. Any person who does not use their conscience is very disconnected from God. Because again, the language of light can only be decoded by the heart.
Commitment is a curse if it interferes with righteousness.
~ Amit Kalantri
God's Law is holy, righteous, and good.
God is our Righteous Father.
The Righteous God.
The righteous shall rejoice.
We can rely on the righteous Ruler.
You might lose battles in your life time. However, every person that stands bravely on the side of justice, for people that have no voice, wins the true battle---Gods.
~ Shannon L. Alder
Men seek a great deal, but fatally close, albeit very different, is one's pride in proving oneself right with one's zeal for finding the truth.
Look at you, standing there in your iron- gray dress, feeling piousand self- righteous while you starve small children!
~ V.c. Andrews
Leadership was not an act of bravery but rather forbearance and the strength to move forward with humility in the belief of what is righteous
~ Soroosh Shahrivar
Life is not about getting everything right, as much as it’s about working to live right.
~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
There are no happy endings, he knew, because nothing ends; and if there were any being dispensed, a great many worthier people would be in line for them long before Michael and Laura and himself. But the happiness of the unworthy and the happiness of the so-so is as fragile and self-centered and dear as the happiness of the righteous and the worthy; and the happiness of the living is no less short and desperate and forgotten than the joys of the dead.
~ Peter S. Beagle
Never trust a person that tries to sell you by how righteous they are. I'm telling your right now, it's a scam.
~ Richie Norton
