A perfect faith would lift us absolutely above fear. - [Faith] A true friend is forever a friend. - [Friends] A voice is in the wind I do not know A meaning on the face of the high hills Whose utterance I cannot comprehend. A something is behind them: that is God. - [God] Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing. - [Affliction] All haste implies weakness. - [Haste] But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air, and it is sweet as the hawthorn; shut it up, and it cankers and breeds worms. - [Money] Difficulty adds to result, as the ramming of powder sends the bullet the further. - [Opposition] Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken. - [Churches] Every soul has a landscape that changes with the wind that sweeps the sky, with the clouds that return after its rain. - [Fate] Faith is obedience, not compliance. - [Faith] Fear is faithlessness. - [Fear] God hides nothing. His very work from the beginning is revelation--a casting aside of veil after veil, a showing unto men of truth after truth. On and on from fact Divine He advances, until at length in His Son Jesus He unveils His very face. - [God] God Himself--His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home. And to pass through the valley of the shadow of death is the way home, but only thus, that as all changes have hitherto led us nearer to this home, the knowledge of God, so this greatest of all outward changes--for it is but an outward change--will surely usher us into a region where there will be fresh possibilities of drawing nigh in heart, soul, and mind to the Father of us all. - [God] He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all. - [Fidelity] How many people would like to be good, if only they might be good without taking trouble about it! They do not like goodness well enough to hunger and thirst after it, or to sell all that they have that they may buy it; they will not batter at the gate of the kingdom of heaven; but they look with pleasure on this or that aerial castle of righteousness, and think it would be rather nice to live in it. - [Goodness] I do not myself believe there is any misfortune. What men call such is merely the shadowside of a good. - [Misfortune] I do not think that the road to contentment lies in despising what we have not got. Let us acknowledge all good, all delight that the world holds, and be content without it. - [Contentment] I wondered over again for the hundredth time what could be the principle which, in the wildest, most lawless, fantastically chaotic, apparently capricious work of nature, always kept it beautiful. - [Nature] If I can put one touch of a rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God. - [Ingratitude] If, instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. - [Love] It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of to-day that the weight is more than a man can bear. - [Anticipation] It is a happy thing for us that this is really all we have to concern ourselves about--what to do next. No man can do the second thing. He can do the first. - [Duty] It is only by loving a thing that you an make it yours. - [Appreciation] It needs brains to be a real fool. - [Fools] Life and religion are one, or neither is anything. - [Life] Displaying page 1 of 4 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3 4
