Godliness Quotes

On living well rather than living apart.

These godliness quotes push back against the idea that genuine virtue means retreating from ordinary life, arguing instead that it should improve how someone moves through the world. Freddy Fender offers a different but related take on staying grounded.

True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it.

Quotes by William Penn

I go out into America, and I am literally navigating a minefield. Godliness has become abnormal.

Quotes by Si Robertson

Most of us have heard the saying, 'Cleanliness is next to godliness.' That's a sentiment I value, but another virtue has inspired me to revise that saying. As far as I'm concerned, what's next to godliness is resourcefulness.

Quotes by Chris Gardner
