Inspirational Quotes by Ravi Zacharias
“the power of a lens is incredible.”
“(Contrary to what is popularly believed, deep in the heart of India, especially with the Nambudiris, society is quite matriarchal. Her step of faith in Christ, therefore, was a bigger blow to the family than one”
“When I returned to India for the first time after years of being gone, I wondered why I remembered those small rooms as being quite large. Was it because I didn’t know any better? When Charles Dickens returned to his hometown and remarked that his city had changed, someone responded that it had not changed nearly as much as he had.”

“Feelings follow belief; belief, then, should follow truth.”
“People in pain may look for comfort and explanations. People disappointed in pleasure look for purpose.”
“Uno de los golpes más sutiles pero drásticos de nuestra época es el modo en que algunos grupos de interés han luchado para alcanzar ciertas posiciones. Su táctica, astuta pero contraria a la lógica, consiste en redefinir palabras y prostituir ideas. Hechizados por los eslóganes, hemos trivializado aquello que es serio y exaltado aquello que es trivial porque nos hemos saltado los pasos básicos y necesarios de la argumentación lógica. Cuando violamos la razón y el lenguaje podemos perder de vista la realidad.”
“Someone has said that our sin scorches us most after we have received forgiveness, and not before. Once you realize how much you’ve been forgiven, you see how great that forgiveness really is.”
“The world is in great need. There is so much that needs to be done.”
“academic or material advancement does not necessarily confer wisdom. As someone rightly quipped, “It may be a smartphone, but it is not a wise phone.”
“Antitheism provides every reason to be immoral and is bereft of any objective point of reference with which to condemn any choice.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“Worship that is properly understood and properly given is co-extensive with life… It informs all of life, everything we do and everything we say and think. At its core it is the sense and service of God. Worship brings into confluence all the questions and answers that we have and do not have.”
“knowing does not guarantee doing. Doing engages the will and a preset commitment.”
“La esterilidad crónica del alma y la incertidumbre ante el futuro se deben claramente al exterminio del espíritu.”
“It is Christ who shows that unless a person’s pain is understood, one will never understand a person’s soul. He Himself is the best reminder of the reward of chasing truth versus chasing shadows.”
“We are alone in a world where everything is nothing and we are part of the divine.”
“Es más fácil esconderse detrás de argumentos filosóficos, llenos de notas a pie de página para impresionar, que admitir nuestras heridas, nuestras confusiones, nuestros amores y nuestras pasiones en el mercado de las transacciones de la vida.”
“We see through a glass darkly because all we want is to be comfortable.”
