More quotes by 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
The humblest occupation has in it materials of discipline for the highest heaven.
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
Mourning after an absent God is an evidence of a love as strong, as rejoicing in a present one.
Frederick William Robertson
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ's miracles were vivid manifestations to the senses that He is the Saviour of the body--and now as then the issues of life and death are in His hands--that our daily existence is a perpetual miracle. The extraordinary was simply a manifestation of God's power in the ordinary.
Frederick William Robertson
Brethren, happiness is not our being's end and aim. The Christian's aim is perfection, not happiness and every one of the sons of God must have something of that spirit which marked his Master.
Frederick William Robertson
No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
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
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
This is the true liberty of Christ, when a free man binds himself in love to duty. Not in shrinking from our distasteful occupations, but in fulfilling them, do we realize our high origin.
Frederick William Robertson
It was necessary for the Son to disappear as an outward authority, in order that He might reappear as an inward principle of life. Our salvation is no longer God manifested in a Christ without us, but as a Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
The only revenge which is essentially Christian is that of retaliating by forgiveness.
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
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
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
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
Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.
Frederick William Robertson
