More quotes by Frederick William Faber
The music of the Gospel leads us home.
Frederick William Faber
It has always seemed to me that a love of natural objects, and the depth, as well as exuberance and refinement of mind, produced by an intelligent delight in scenery, are elements of the first importance in the education of the young.

Many there are who, while they bear the name of Christians, are totally unacquainted with the power of their divine religion. But for their crimes the Gospel is in no wise answerable. Christianity is with them a geographical, not a descriptive, appellation.
Frederick William Faber
Love's secret is always to be doing things for God, and not to mind because they are such very little ones.
Frederick William Faber
Happiness is a great power of holiness. Thus, kind words, by their power of producing happiness, have also a power of producing holiness, and so of winning men to God.
Frederick William Faber
Deep theology is the best fuel of devotion it readily catches fire, and once kindled it burns long.

We must have passed through life unobservantly, if we have never perceived that a man is very much himself what he thinks of others.
Frederick William Faber
Kindness has converted more sinners than either zeal, eloquence, or learning and these three last have never converted any.
Frederick William Faber
We can exaggerate about many things but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus, or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that might be said of Him.
Frederick William Faber
Each hour comes with some little faggot of God's will fastened upon its back.
Frederick William Faber
Is the scrupulous attention I am paying to the government of my tongue at all proportioned to that tremendous truth revealed through St. James, that if I do not bridle my tongue, all my religion is vain?
Frederick William Faber
The world is growing oldWho would not be at rest and freeWhere love is never cold?
Frederick William Faber
Many a friendship - long, loyal, and self-sacrificing - rested at first upon no thicker a foundation than a kind word.
Frederick William Faber
There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried in the will of God.
Frederick William Faber
Kind words produce happiness. How often have we ourselves been made happy by kind words, in a manner and to an extent which we are unable to explain!
Frederick William Faber
Nobody is kind to only one person at once, but to many persons in one.
Frederick William Faber
For right is right, since God is God.
Frederick William Faber
There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea Oratory Hymns.
Frederick William Faber
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
Frederick William Faber
