If you do anything above party, the true hearted ones of all parties sympathize with you. - [Politics] If you wish to be like a little child, study what a little child could understand,--Nature; and do what a little child could do,--love. - [Simplicity] It has been said that true religion will make a man a more thorough gentleman than all the courts in Europe. And it is true; you may see simple laboring men as thorough gentlemen as any duke, simply because they have learned to fear God; and, fearing Him, to restrain themselves, which is the very root and essence of all good-breeding. - [Religion] It is a painful fact, but there is no denying it, the masts are the tools of circumstances; thistle-down on the breeze, straw on the river, their course is shaped for them by the currents and eddies of the stream of life; but only in proportion as they are things, not men and women. Man was meant to be not the slave, but the master, of circumstances, and in proportion as he recovers his humanity, in every sense of the great obsolete word,--in proportion as he gets back the spirit of manliness, which is self-sacrifice, affection, loyalty to an idea beyond himself, a God above himself, so far will he rise above circumstances, and wield them at his will. - [Man] Love can make us fiends as well as angels. - [Love] Men must work, and women must weep. - [Destiny] Music is a sacred, a divine, a God-like thing, and was given to man by Christ to lift our hearts up to God, and make us feel something of the glory and beauty of God, and of all which God has made. - [Music] My friends, let us try to follow the Saviour's steps; let us remember all day long what it is to be men; that it is to have every one whom we meet for our brother in the sight of God; that it is this, never to meet anyone, however bad he may be, for whom we cannot say: "Christ died for that man, and Christ cares for him still. He is precious in God's eyes, and he shall be precious in mine also." - [Brotherhood] No earnest thinker is a plagiarist pure and simple. He will never borrow from others that which he has not already, more or less, thought out for himself. - [Plagiarism] Nothing like one honest look, one honest thought of Christ upon His cross. That tells us how much He has been through, how much He endured, how much He conquered, how much God loved us, who spared not His only begotten Son, but freely gave Him for us. Dare we doubt such a God? Dare we murmur against such a God? - [Cross] Nothing that man ever invents will absolve him from the universal necessity of being good as God is good, righteous as God is righteous, and holy as God is holy. - [Goodness] Pain is no evil, unless it conquers us. - [Pain] Pray over every truth; for though the renewed heart is not "desperately wicked," it is quite deceitful enough to become so, if God be forgotten a moment. - [Truth] Purge me therefore, O Lord, though it be with fire. Burn up the chaff of vanity and self-indulgence, of hasty prejudices, second-hand dogmas,--husks which do not feed my soul, with which I cannot be content, of which I feel ashamed daily--and if there be any grains of wheat in me, any word or thought or power of action which may be of use as seed for my nation after me, gather it, O Lord, into Thy garner. - [Trials] See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose; Seeds so long in darkness sleeping Burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices; Fields and garlands hail the spring; Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices While the wild birds build and sing. - [Easter] See the rivers, how they run, Changeless to the changeless sea. - [Rivers] Take comfort, and recollect however little you and I may know, God knows; He knows Himself and you and me and all things; and His mercy is over all His works. - [God] Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. - [Waking] The righteousness which is by faith in Christ is a loving heart and a loving life, which every man will long to lead who believes really in Jesus Christ. - [Faith in Christ] There are two freedoms--the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought. - [Freedom] Therefore, let us be patient, patient; and let God our Father teach His own lesson, His own way. Let us try to learn it well and quickly; but do not let us fancy that He will ring the school-bell, and send us to play before our lesson is learnt. - [Patience] This is eternal life; a life of everlasting love, showing itself in everlasting good works; and whosoever lives that life, he lives the life of God, and hath eternal life. - [Eternity] This world is God's world, after all. - [World] Those clouds are angels' robes.--That fiery west Is paved with smiling faces. - [Clouds] We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about. - [Enthusiasm] Displaying page 2 of 4 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4
