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.

It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.
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
In these two things the greatness of man consists, to have God dwelling in us as to impart His character to us, and to have Him dwelling in us, that we recognize His presence, and know that we are His, and He is ours. The one is salvation the other, the assurance of it.
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
Mourning after an absent God is an evidence of a love as strong, as rejoicing in a present one.
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.

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
A life of prayer is a life whose litanies are ever fresh acts of self-devoting love.
Frederick William Robertson

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
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
Frederick William Robertson
Marriage is not a union merely between two creatures - it is a union between two spirits and the intention of that bond is to perfect the nature of both.
Frederick William Robertson
On earth we have nothing to do with success or with results, but only with being true to God, and for God for it is sincerity, and not success, which is the sweet savor before God. The defeat of the true-hearted is victory.
Frederick William Robertson
What we mean by sentimentalism is that state in which a man speaks deep and true sentiments not because he feels them strongly, but because he perceives that they are beautiful, and that it is touching and fine to say them,-things which he fain would feel, and fancies that he does feel.
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
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
