More quotes by 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
Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.
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
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
The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you.
Frederick William Robertson
Do you want to learn holiness with terrible struggles and sore affliction and the plague of much remaining evil? Then wait before you turn to God.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
I will tell you what to hate. Hate hypocrisy, hate cant, hate indolence, oppression, injustice hate Pharisaism hate them as Christ hated them with a deep, living, godlike hatred.
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
To grieve over sin is one thing, to repent is another.
Frederick William Robertson
It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.
Frederick William Robertson
That prayer which does not succeed in moderating our wishes--in changing the passionate desire into still submission, the anxious, tumultuous expectation into silent surrender--is no true prayer, and proves that we have not the spirit of true prayer.
Frederick William Robertson
No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
