More quotes by 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
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
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
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
By experience by a sense of human frailty by a perception of the soul of goodness in things evil by a cheerful trust in human nature by a strong sense of God's love by long and disciplined realization of the atoning love of Christ only thus can we get a free, manly, large, princely spirit of forgiveness.
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
The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.
Frederick William Robertson
Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing.
Frederick William Robertson
The humblest occupation has in it materials of discipline for the highest heaven.
Frederick William Robertson
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
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
That friend, given to you by circumstances over which you have not control, was God's own gift.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.
Frederick William Robertson
Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.
Frederick William Robertson
Two thousand years ago there was One here on this earth who lived the grandest life that ever has been lived yet - a life that every thinking man, with deeper or shallower meaning, has agreed to call divine.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
This is the ministry and its work--not to drill hearts and minds and consciences into right forms of thought and mental postures, but to guide to the living God who speaks.
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
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
