More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
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
Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.
Frederick William Robertson
A life of prayer is a life whose litanies are ever fresh acts of self-devoting love.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a past which is gone forever, but there is a future which is still our own.
Frederick William Robertson
The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.
Frederick William Robertson
Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.
Frederick William Robertson
To grieve over sin is one thing, to repent is another.
Frederick William Robertson
There is rest in this world nowhere except in Christ, the manifested love of God. Trust in excellence, and the better you become, the keener is the feeling of deficiency. Wrap up all in doubt, and there is a stern voice that will thunder at last out of the wilderness upon your dream.
Frederick William Robertson
This world is given as a 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
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
I read hard, or not at all never skimming, never turning aside to merely inciting books and Plato, Aristotle, Butler, Thucydides, Sterne, Jonathan Edwards, have passed like the iron atoms of the blood into my mental constitution.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
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
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
No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
Frederick William Robertson
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
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
The true aim of every one who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions,but to kindle minds.
Frederick William Robertson
