Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.

George Bancroft

Always begin anew with the day, just as nature does. It is one of the sensible things that nature does.

George E. Woodberry

It would hardly be possible to exaggerate man's wretchedness if it were not so easy to overestimate his sensibility.

George Santayana

Show me a sensible person who likes himself or herself! I know myself too well to like what I see. I know but too well that I'm not what I'd like to be.

Golda Meir

Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.

Grover Cleveland

Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian.

H. L. Mencken

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.

Isaac Asimov

The great increase of our population throughout the Union will alone produce an important effect, and in no quarter will it be so sensibly felt as in those in contemplation.

James Monroe

Good-humoured, unaffected girls, will not do for a man who has been used to sensible women. They are two distinct orders of being.

Jane Austen

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.

John Bunyan

To sensible men, every day is a day of reckoning.

John W. Gardner

The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom.

Nigel Farage

From the moment we walk out the door until we come back home our sensibilities are so assaulted by the world that we have to soak up as much love as we can get, simply to arm ourselves.

Patty Duke

No sensible person ever made an apology.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.

Remy de Gourmont

If God wants us to do a thing, he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.

Samuel Butler

One of the first businesses of a sensible man is to know when he is beaten, and to leave off fighting at once.

Samuel Butler

Any critic is entitled to wrong judgments, of course. But certain lapses of judgment indicate the radical failure of an entire sensibility.

Susan Sontag

A moral, sensible, and well-bred man Will not affront me, and no other can.

William Cowper

I would define true courage to be a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.

W. T. Sherman

374. A Disciple After God’s Own Heart

Genesis 22:1-19

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... engage in some community service, do some good deeds, hang around with other Christians, take on a leadership role in the church, become a teacher, or even a preacher of the gospel. You know what I mean. We follow what we believe is “right” according to our sensibilities or the way we’ve been raised, we read the scriptures and we attempt to interpret them according to our historic faith traditions, we listen for God’s voice and we believe, we know what we are to do. But it’s only when we know God ...

As presidential speech writer Peggy Noonan says in her book, WHAT I SAW AT THE REVOLUTION (Random House): "Humor allows us to step out of the moment, look at it and sum it up with no great reverence. It is a gift nature gives the mature intellect. If a Presidential candidate is lacking in humor don't vote for him. He lacks the Presidential sensibility, and he'll never succeed with Congress or rally the will of the people."
