A Quote by Aimee Semple McPherson

We are all making a crown for Jesus out of these daily lives of ours, either a crown of golden, divine love, studded with gems of sacrifice and adoration, or a thorny crown, filled with the cruel briars of unbelief, or selfishness, and sin.

This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Robertson Davies

My crown is in my heart, not on my head; not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

William Shakespeare

The only crown Jesus ever wore on earth was a crown of thorns.

Cyprian

As someone has said, we either crucify or crown the Lord Jesus by our lives.

The Crown. Place it upon your head and you assume a different post-tranquil yet radiating assurance. Never show doubt, never lose your dignity beneath the crown, or it will not fit. It will seem to be destined for one more worthy. Do not wait for a coronation; the greatest emporers crown themselves.

Robert Greene

They gave our Master a crown of thorns, why do we hope for a crown of roses?

Martin Luther

Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

William Shakespeare

A crown of roses is also a crown of thorns.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

One who wants to wear the crown, bears the crown.

Why would we want fame, when God promises us glory? Why would we be seeking the wealth of the world when the wealth of heaven is ours? Why would we run for a crown that will perish with time, when we're called to win a crown that is imperishable?

Paul Washer

It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister, safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you, Ned, what good is it to wear a crown?
