More quotes by 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
If you think that you can sin, and then by cries avert the consequences of sin, you insult God's character.

Frederick William Robertson

Frederick William Robertson
He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
Frederick William Robertson
It is a law of our humanity, that man must know both good and evil he must know good through evil. There never was a principle but what triumphed through much evil no man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
Frederick William Robertson
Time and pains will do anything.
Frederick William Robertson
What the world calls virtue is a name and a dream without Christ. The foundation of all human excellence must be laid deep in the blood of the Redeemer's cross, and in the power of His resurrection.
Frederick William Robertson
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
Frederick William Robertson
A life of prayer is a life whose litanies are ever fresh acts of self-devoting love.
