I can not understand why ministers presume to deliver sermons every week at appointed hours because it is humanly impossible for inspirations to come with clock-like regularity.
Sinclair Lewis
Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
William Shakespeare
We have a 29-year-old woman whose husband does not come to church. She downloads the sermons at home.
Brian Boles
This version of the Bible is important because it's close to the sermonic tradition of Dr. King. This was as close as one could get to the version that I'm told he would have used for the preparation of his sermons. It's a very personal relic, infused with the history of the King family.
Bob Snyder
Children are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.
David O. Mckay
Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.
John Wesley
Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.
John Burroughs

Robert Ingersoll
HOMILETICS, n. The science of adapting sermons to the spiritual needs, capacities and conditions of the congregation. So skilled the parson was in homiletics That all his normal purges and emetics To medicine the spirit were compounded With a most just discrimination founded Upon a rigorous examination Of tongue and pulse and heart and respiration. Then, hav.
Ambrose Bierce
One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It would be difficult to determine whether the age is growing better or worse; for I think our plays are growing like sermons, and our sermons like plays.
Anna Letitia Barbauld
All those sermons and passions you've generated, now's the time to put up or shut up for every faith or religious community here. Are you willing to coordinate and cooperate with other people and other denominations? If you're not, sit down.
