The gods do not need sacrifices, so what might one do to please them? Acquire wisdom, it seems to me, and do all the good in one's power to those humans who deserve it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People want to make sacrifices but they don't want to be sacrificed.
If I don't have anything to sacrifice, I don't have anything to gain. From the Bible I have learned if you want something good, you must sacrifice.
Sacrifice is nothing other than the production of sacred things.
Ascetics and fakirs come to mitigate human suffering; to heal us and lead us on the path. They put up with criticism; they go through many worldly trials. Some of them have even become martyrs for our sake. But they have done all this with a smile and with gratitude to God. Hence sacrifice is a great virtue.
With sacrifice and work, anything can be done.
The whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say - or their beliefs - or sex.
There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.
We should be recklessly abandoned to Jesus, and just turn it over to Him. Through the support I think the sacrifices will be made and we'll all be cool with it.
Nothing so much enhances a good as to make sacrifices for it.
I made sacrifices willingly; it was what I did best.
