More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
Frederick William Robertson
A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the cultivation of his noblest sensibilities.
Frederick William Robertson
In the darkest hour through which a human soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet even then it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.
Frederick William Robertson
This world is given as the prize for the men in earnest and that which is true of this world, is truer still of the world to come.
Frederick William Robertson
And now because you are His child, live as a child of God be redeemed from the life of evil, which is false to your nature, into the life of goodness, which is the truth of your being. Scorn all that is mean hate all that is false struggle with all that is impure Live the simple, lofty life which befits an heir of immortality.
Frederick William Robertson
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
Frederick William Robertson
We are too much haunted by ourselves, projecting the central shadow of self on everything around us. And then comes the Gospel to rescue us from this selfishness. Redemption is this, to forget self in God.
Frederick William Robertson
What we are, and where we are, is God's providential arrange ment — God's doing, though it may be man's misdoing and the manly and the wise way is to look your disadvantages in the face, and see what can be made out of them.
Frederick William Robertson
Brethren, happiness is not our being's end and aim. The Christian's aim is perfection, not happiness and every one of the sons of God must have something of that spirit which marked his Master.
Frederick William Robertson
Child of God, if you would have your thought of God something beyond a cold feeling of His presence, let faith appropriate Christ.
Frederick William Robertson
Mourning after an absent God is an evidence of a love as strong, as rejoicing in a present one.
Frederick William Robertson
Heaven begun is the living proof that makes the heaven to come credible. Christ in you is the hope of glory. It is the eagle eye of faith which penetrates the grave, and sees far into the tranquil things of death. He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a two-fold solemnity which belongs to the dying hour-it is the winding up of life, and it is the commencement of eternity.
Frederick William Robertson
By experience by a sense of human frailty by a perception of the soul of goodness in things evil by a cheerful trust in human nature by a strong sense of God's love by long and disciplined realization of the atoning love of Christ only thus can we get a free, manly, large, princely spirit of forgiveness.
Frederick William Robertson
The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.
Frederick William Robertson
Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.
Frederick William Robertson
Sow the seeds of life — humbleness, pure-heartedness, love and in the long eternity which lies before the soul, every minutest grain will come up again with an increase of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold.
Frederick William Robertson
This is the true liberty of Christ, when a free man binds himself in love to duty. Not in shrinking from our distasteful occupations, but in fulfilling them, do we realize our high origin.
Frederick William Robertson
As the tree is fertilized by its own broken branches and fallen leaves, and grows out of its own decay, so men and nations are bettered and improved by trial, and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations.
Frederick William Robertson
