Jeremy Taylor Quotes About Duty

Quotes about: Duty

• Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit; and our wandering thoughts in prayer are but the neglects of meditation and recessions from that duty; according as we neglect meditation, so are our prayers imperfect, - meditation being the soul of prayer and the intention of our spirit.

  Prayer, Meditation, Soul

  Jeremy Taylor, George Rust (1851). “The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor...: With an Essay, Biographical and Critical”, p.73

• When we pray for any virtue, we should cultivate the virtue as well as pray for it; the form of your prayer should be the rule of your life; every petition to God is a precept to man. Look not, therefore, upon your prayers as a method of good and salvation only, but as a perpetual monition of duty. By what we require of God we see what he requires of us.

• The body of our prayer is the sum of our duty; and as we must ask of God whatsoever we need, so we must watch and labor for all that we ask.
