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.

More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
That friend, given to you by circumstances over which you have not control, was God's own gift.
Frederick William Robertson
No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
Frederick William Robertson
Only what coronation is in an earthly way, baptism is in a heavenly way God's authoritative declaration in material form of a spiritual reality.
Frederick William Robertson
It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.
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
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
It is more true to say that our opinions depend upon our lives and habits, than to say that our lives and habits depend on our opinions.
Frederick William Robertson
It was necessary for the Son to disappear as an outward authority, in order that He might reappear as an inward principle of life. Our salvation is no longer God manifested in a Christ without us, but as a Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
Time and pains will do anything.
Frederick William Robertson
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain (as long as it was done out of love, not personal glory)
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
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
To grieve over sin is one thing, to repent is another.
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
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
It is not by change of circumstances, but by fitting our spirits to the circumstances in which God has placed us, that we can be reconciled to life and duty.
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
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
Frederick William Robertson
You reap what you sow — not something else, but that. An act of love makes the soul more loving. A deed of humbleness deepens humbleness. The thing reaped is the very thing sown, multiplied a hundred fold. You have sown a seed of life, you reap life everlasting.
Frederick William Robertson
It is not the number of books you read nor the variety of sermons which you hear nor the amount of religious conversation in which you mix: but it is the frequency and the earnestness with which you meditate on these things, till the truth which may be in them becomes your own, and part of your own being, that ensures your spiritual growth.
Frederick William Robertson
