A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner.
Thomas Carlyle
Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses; their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one.
Anatole France
Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.
William Ames
I come from a family of very devout, praying people. That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.
Mos Def
I never force myself to be devout except when I feel so inspired, and never compose hymns of prayers unless I feel within me real and true devotion.
Franz Schubert
It becomes us in humility to make our devout acknowledgments to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored.
James K. Polk
Oh, I may be devout, but I am human all the same.
Moliere
Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.
William James
People here argue about religion interminably, but it appears that they are competing at the same time to see who can be the least devout.
Charles de Secondat
People who can't be witty exert themselves to be devout and affectionate.
George Eliot
Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.
Joseph Addison
The devout have laid out gardens in the desert.
Robert Duncan
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Abraham Lincoln
To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.
Sri Aurobindo
Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it.
Jason Bateman
Your meditations may be as profound, as exalted, as devout as you like; you may practise every pious exercise you can manage, but all this is as nothing in comparison with the Blessed Sacrament. What we do may be godly, but this sacrament is God Himself!
Johannes Tauler
