A Quote by Israel Folau

You can't please God and please man at the same time. It's impossible; you can't do it. You've got to choose one. — © Israel Folau
You can't please God and please man at the same time. It's impossible; you can't do it. You've got to choose one.
When I was first writing, my little prayers were, 'Please, please, please. Let something be published someday.' Then it went to, 'Please, please, please. Let somebody read this.'
If you please man and never please God, you have nothing; if you please God and man forsakes you, you have everything.
There's a wonderful old Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint,'Dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery.' This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated statue come to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust,'My son-please, please, please...buy a ticket.
Please, please, please, please, please...,", squeezing his eyes shut because it somehow made the words more pure.
Dear God, please let him have heard me. Please. Please. If you're up there. Somewhere.
You've just got to trust your instincts and realize that you can't please all the people all the time. You've got to please yourself ultimately in the end.
Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?
Oh God, God, please come to me, please illumine me, please act in me and through me. I don't know what's right and what's wrong. I can't tell anymore. I could be doing what I feel is right and perhaps I'm deceiving myself. Perhaps it's all my ego and my vanity. Please show me what's right or don't even show me. Please just do it, whether it brings me happiness or unhappiness, riches or poverty, sorrow or joy. Please act in and through me. I love only you.
When I was a teenager, I was trying to please people. I kept changing who I was to please the people I was with. And so once I just decided I wasn't going to do that anymore. I was going to live my life to please God. And so from that day to this, that's been my aim. Some people don't understand, but you can't please everybody anyway.
No man that has ever lived has done a thing to please God--primarily. It was done to please himself, then God next.
To please everybody is impossible; were I to undertake it, I should probably please nobody.
The man who seeks to please God is the man who people are pleased with. The man who seeks to please others won't satisfy anyone.
Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal. No one feels, who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.
If anyone can achieve the impossible it’s you. Please, please, get it again.
If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker; lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.
God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that I’m not here to please men with my body; I’m here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a woman’s body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
