More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
Child of God, if you would have your thought of God something beyond a cold feeling of His presence, let faith appropriate Christ.
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
Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.
Frederick William Robertson
That friend, given to you by circumstances over which you have not control, was God's own gift.
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
There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.
Frederick William Robertson
He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
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
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
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
The only revenge which is essentially Christian is that of retaliating by forgiveness.
Frederick William Robertson
To grieve over sin is one thing, to repent is another.
Frederick William Robertson
Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.
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
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
Mourning after an absent God is an evidence of a love as strong, as rejoicing in a present one.
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
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
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
The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.
Frederick William Robertson
