Quotes About Souls

And they need not cause you grief. As my Highland grandmother said—and she had the Sight—"Tis not the dead ye have to be concerned about! Beware of the Living!" And she was a wise woman. The dead are beyond your help or mine, poor things. But the living need us. Thirty souls at the least, Phryne, are still on that island to praise God who might now be angels—or devils.

Make no mistake Pastor, if the Holy Spirit is moving powerfully in your church, souls are being saved, and believers are being equipped for the work of the ministry, the devil will send false brethren, people who pretend to be that which they are not, to stir up trouble with the intent to thwart that which the Lord is doing in your church.

~ George Gordon Byron
The gods made our bodies as well as our souls, is it not so? They give us voices, so we might worship them with song. They give us hands, so we might build them temples. And they give us desire, so we might mate and worship them in that way.

It is natural to want to forget, Anna, when everyday is a brimful of sadness. But those souls also forgot those that they had loved. You do not want that, surely? I have heard some preach that God wants us to forget the dead, but I cannot believe so.
