![Emotionalism Quotes By Fulton J. Sheen Emotionalism Quotes By Fulton J. Sheen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-fulton-j-sheen-829808.jpg)
Holiness must have a philosophical and theological foundation, namely, Divine truth; otherwise it is sentimentality and emotionalism. Many would say later on, 'We want religion, but no creeds.' This is like saying we want healing, but no science of medicine; music, but no rules of music; history, but no documents. Religion is indeed a life, but it grows out of truth, not away from it. It has been said it makes no difference what you believe, it all depends on how you act. This is psychological nonsense, for a man acts out of his beliefs. Our Lord placed truth or belief in Him first; then came sanctification and good deeds. But here truth was not a vague ideal, but a Person. Truth was now lovable, because only a Person is lovable. Sanctity becomes the response the heart makes to Divine truth and its unlimited mercy to humanity. — Fulton J. Sheen
![Emotionalism Quotes By Mike Lofgren Emotionalism Quotes By Mike Lofgren](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-mike-lofgren-310533.jpg)
The cultural forces that help politically sustain both the militaristic and the corporate function of the Deep State, however, are growing more irrational and antiscience. A military tradition that glories in force and appeals to self-sacrifice is the polar opposite of the Enlightenment heritate of rationality, the search for peace, and a belief in the common destiny of mankind. The warrior-leader, like the witch doctor, ultimately appeals to irrational emotionalism; and the cultural psychology that produces the bravest and most loyal warriors is a mind-set that is usually hostile to the sort of free inquiry of which scientific progress depends. This dynamic is observable in Afghanistan: no outside power has been able to conquer and pacify that society for millennia because of the tenacity of its warrior spirit; yet the country has one of the highest illiteracy rates on earth and is barely out of the Bronze Age in social development. p 260 — Mike Lofgren

For the sentimentalism and emotionalism which have infested our country, we should substitute hard common sense. Pacific habits do not insure peace or immunity from national insult and aggression. — Douglas MacArthur

Now any dogma, based primarily on faith and emotionalism, is a dangerous weapon to use on others, since it is almost impossible to guarantee that the weapon will never be turned on the user. — Isaac Asimov
![Emotionalism Quotes By Alice Bag Emotionalism Quotes By Alice Bag](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-alice-bag-1188506.jpg)

![Emotionalism Quotes By Reinhold Niebuhr Emotionalism Quotes By Reinhold Niebuhr](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-reinhold-niebuhr-1565884.jpg)
1924 A revival meeting seems never to get under my skin. Perhaps I am too fish-blooded to enjoy them. But I object not so much to the emotionalism as to the lack of intellectual honesty of the average revival preacher. I do not mean to imply that the evangelists are necessarily consciously dishonest. They just don't know enough about life and history to present the problem of the Christian life in its full meaning. They are always assuming that nothing but an emotional commitment to Christ is needed to save the soul from its sin and chaos. They seem never to realize how many of the miseries of mankind are due not to malice but to misdirected zeal and unbalanced virtue. They never help the people who corrupt family love by making the family a selfish unit in society or those who brutalize industry by excessive devotion to the prudential virtues. — Reinhold Niebuhr

![Emotionalism Quotes By Eugene H. Peterson Emotionalism Quotes By Eugene H. Peterson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-eugene-h-peterson-1809480.jpg)
My feelings are important for many things. They are essential and valuable. They keep me aware of much that is true and real. But they tell me next to nothing about God or my relation to God. My security comes from who God is, not from how I feel. Discipleship is a decision to live by what I know about God, not by what I feel about Him or my neighbors. — Eugene H. Peterson
![Emotionalism Quotes By Dee Dee Myers Emotionalism Quotes By Dee Dee Myers](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-dee-dee-myers-1968284.jpg)
Part of Obama's persona is self-reliance. He's calm; he's cool; he's self-possessed. In many ways, he has tried to define himself in opposition to Clinton's sometimes needy, often undisciplined, emotionalism. — Dee Dee Myers
![Emotionalism Quotes By John Piper Emotionalism Quotes By John Piper](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-john-piper-2052439.jpg)
Some of us are afraid of getting too emotional when we sing. But the problem isn't emotions. It's emotionalism. Emotionalism pursues feelings as ends in themselves. It's wanting to feel something with no regard for how that feeling is produced or its ultimate purpose. — John Piper

Personally, my daughter's wedding gave me a tremendous pleasure. And the wedding was a radiant event and I enjoyed it. I was afraid I'd cry. I'm given to crying at odd times, and I was very much afraid of the emotionalism of that moment, but I didn't even come close to crying. — Rod Serling

While Johns (Martin Luther King's predecessor as pastor in Montgomery) agreed with Dexter's general disdain for emotionalism, he was very fond of traditional spirituals, believing they represented a part of their history they ought to embrace and celebrate. — Troy Jackson
![Emotionalism Quotes By George F. Kennan Emotionalism Quotes By George F. Kennan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-george-f-kennan-2210564.jpg)
On the question of the machinery of government, we have seen that a good deal of our trouble seems to have stemmed from the extent to which the executive has felt itself beholden to the short-term trends of public opinion in the country and from what we might call the erratic and subjective nature of public reaction to foreign-policy questions. I would like to emphasize that I do not consider public reaction to foreign-policy questions to be erratic and undependable over the long term; but I think the record indicates that in the short term our public opinion, or what passes for public opinion in the thinking of official Washington, can be easily led astray into areas of emotionalism and subjectivity which make a poor and inadequate guide for national action. — George F. Kennan
![Emotionalism Quotes By John Piper Emotionalism Quotes By John Piper](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-john-piper-1004657.jpg)

![Emotionalism Quotes By Billy Graham Emotionalism Quotes By Billy Graham](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-billy-graham-1299567.jpg)
Some people accuse us of too much emotionalism. I say we have too little. That is why we are losing church people to other interests. We need not only to capture their minds; we've got to touch their hearts. We've got to make people feel their faith. — Billy Graham
![Emotionalism Quotes By Gene Edward Veith Jr. Emotionalism Quotes By Gene Edward Veith Jr.](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-gene-edward-veith-jr-1229469.jpg)
There is a great superficiality in today's evangelical world. Many Bible-believing Christians share the contemporary case for self-gratification, emotionalism, and anti-intellectualism. Many people who believe in the Bible have never read it. — Gene Edward Veith Jr.

Beyond the emotionalism and the obvious sense of relief on all sides, I think that there is a recognition that reality may intrude, that perhaps the steps ahead and the days ahead are going to be much more difficult than one expects. — Hanan Ashrawi

Thorstein Veblen would say people hate squirrels, she called up to him, "because that's the only way to motivate expenditure on them - such as buying traps or guns. It's the same with stirring up patriotic emotionalism, because it justifies expenditures for defense. — Elizabeth Mckenzie

The teens are emotionally unstable and pathic. It is a natural impulse to experience hot and perfervid psychic states, and it is characterized by emotionalism. We see here the instability and fluctuations now so characteristic. The emotions develop by contrast and reaction into the opposite. — G. Stanley Hall

![Emotionalism Quotes By John F. MacArthur Jr. Emotionalism Quotes By John F. MacArthur Jr.](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-john-f-macarthur-jr-733304.jpg)
The results of that charismatic takeover have been devastating. In recent history, no other movement has done more to damage the cause of the gospel, to distort the truth, and to smother the articulation of sound doctrine. Charismatic theology has turned the evangelical church into a cesspool of error and a breeding ground for false teachers. It has warped genuine worship through unbridled emotionalism, polluted prayer with private gibberish, contaminated true spirituality with unbiblical mysticism, and corrupted faith by turning it into a creative force for speaking worldly desires into existence. By elevating the authority of experience over the authority of Scripture, the Charismatic Movement has destroyed the church's immune system - uncritically granting free access to every imaginable form of heretical teaching and practice. — John F. MacArthur Jr.
![Emotionalism Quotes By Alexander Strauch Emotionalism Quotes By Alexander Strauch](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-alexander-strauch-644942.jpg)
Paul's prayer is the product of his passion for people. His unaffected fervency in prayer is not whipped-up emotionalism but the overflow of his love for brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. — Alexander Strauch

Ideas are 10 a penny. It's the execution that's the hard thing to do. House is standing up against a tide of sentiment and emotionalism over reason that threatens to engulf this world. When you think about it, a rationalist, a man of science and reason, is in a pretty lonely position. — Hugh Laurie

In her final months [Princess] Diana was being shat upon by the tabloids
basically for sleeping with an Arab. When she died, these same papers were astonished by the millennial wave of emotionalism that swept the country ... [One paper] had a print-ready story about what a slag the Princess was, and they had to pull it at the last moment. It was replaced with an image of Diana as an angel, ascending to heaven. — Martin Amis
![Emotionalism Quotes By Jeanette Winterson Emotionalism Quotes By Jeanette Winterson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/emotionalism-quote-by-jeanette-winterson-286325.jpg)
For my part, I think we need more emotion, not less. But I think, too, that we need to educate people in how to feel. Emotionalism is not the same as emotion. We cannot cut out emotion - in the economy of the human body, it is the limbic, not the neural, highway that takes precedence. We are not robots ... but we act as though all our problems would be solved if only we had no emotions to cloud our judgement. — Jeanette Winterson
