More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
However dark and profitless, however painful and weary, existence may have become, life is not done, and our Christian character is not won, so long as God has anything left for us to suffer, or anything left for us to do.
Frederick William Robertson
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
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
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

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

Frederick William Robertson

Frederick William Robertson

Frederick William Robertson
No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
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
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
Frederick William Robertson
He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
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
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
If you think that you can sin, and then by cries avert the consequences of sin, you insult God's character.
Frederick William Robertson
Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.
Frederick William Robertson
Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.
Frederick William Robertson
It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.
