                                    Mothers care in volumes of tears and earnestness of prayers and a depth of emotion others cannot fathom.                                
                                                        — Richelle E. Goodrich
                        
                        
				                                                            
                                    That religious earnestness forever tends toward fright and hence towards brittleness and inquisition is clear enough in mythology and history.                                
                                                        — Thomas Howard
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    I have long discovered that geologists never read each other's works, and that the only object in writing a book is a proof of earnestness.                                
                                                        — Charles Darwin
                        
                                				
        		        				
                        
				                                                            
                                    The hundred nights they'd sat up arguing the pros and cons of self destruction with the earnestness of philosophers chained to a madhouse wall                                
                                                        — Cormac McCarthy
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Time and pains will do anything.                                
                                                        — Frederick William Robertson
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Death cannot explain itself. The earnestness consists precisely in this, that the observer must explain it to himself.                                
                                                        — Soren Kierkegaard
                        
                                				
        		        				
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    You speak, my friend, with a strange earnestness, said old Roger Chillingworth, smiling at him.                                
                                                        — Nathaniel Hawthorne
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite                                
                                                        — Gillian Flynn
                        
                        
				                                                            
                                    Earnestness is good; it means business. But fanaticism overdoes, and is consequently reactionary.                                
                                                        — Charles Spurgeon
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    One is healthy when one can laugh at the earnestness and zeal with which one has been hypnotized by any single detail of one's life.                                
                                                        — Friedrich Nietzsche
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Art is based on a strong sentiment of religion,
on a profound and mighty earnestness; hence it is so prone to co-operate with religion. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
                                				
        		        				on a profound and mighty earnestness; hence it is so prone to co-operate with religion. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
				                                                            
                                    Business demands faith, compels earnestness, requires courage, is honestly selfish, is penalized for mistakes, and is the essence of life.                                
                                                        — William Feather
                        
                        
				                                                            
                                    Our path, our sense of spirituality demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity & continuity.                                
                                                        — Sharon Salzberg
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.                                
                                                        — Frederick William Robertson
                        
                                				
        		        				
                                				
        		        				
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    A man must keep his earnestness nimble, to escape ridicule.                                
                                                        — D.H. Lawrence
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Earnestness is the devotion of all the faculties.                                
                                                        — Christian Nestell Bovee
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Earnestness is stupidity sent to college.                                
                                                        — P. J. O'Rourke
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Earnestness can ferment into sentimentality.                                
                                                        — Marc Webb
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Earnestness is highly underestimated. It comes from the core, while hip is trying to impress you with the surface.                                
                                                        — Randy Pausch
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them.                                
                                                        — Arthur W. Pink
                        
                        
				                                                            
                                    The earnestness of life is the only passport to satisfaction of life.

                                    Enthusiasm is the intoxication of earnestness.                                
                                                        — Alphonse De Lamartine
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    Just look at us, all of us, quietly doing our thing and trying to matter. The earnestness is inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time.

                                    We want deeper sincerity of motive, a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action.

                                    Even where there is talent, culture, knowledge, if there is not earnestness, it does not go to the root of things.

                                    I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it to the earnestness of others.

                                    Most shows find themselves descending into sentimentality or earnestness at some point but, with 'Community,' the joke is always on.

                                    Beloved, it is not office - it is earnestness; it is not position - it is grace which will enable us to glorify God.

                                    Here's the thing about earnestness. Our culture discounts it; but people are yearning for it.

                                    What majesty is in a creeping Snail, what reflection, what earnestness, what timidity and yet at the same time what firm confidence!

                                    Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.

                                    And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.

                                    Earnestness is the best gift of mental power, and deficiency of heart is the cause of many men never becoming great.

                                    Art rests on a kind of religious sense, on a deep, steadfast earnestness; and on this account it unites so readily with religion.

                                    The presence of irony does not necessarily mean that the earnestness is excluded. Only assistant professors assume that.

                                    No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.

                                    Taking fun as simply fun and earnestness in earnest shows how thoroughly thou none of the two discernest.

                                    God does not hear us because we pray earnestly -  He hears us solely on the basis of redemption. God is never impressed by our earnestness.
