More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.
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
A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the cultivation of his noblest sensibilities.
Frederick William Robertson
It is a law of our humanity, that man must know both good and evil he must know good through evil. There never was a principle but what triumphed through much evil no man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
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
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
You reap what you sow — not something else, but that. An act of love makes the soul more loving. A deed of humbleness deepens humbleness. The thing reaped is the very thing sown, multiplied a hundred fold. You have sown a seed of life, you reap life everlasting.
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
It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson

Frederick William Robertson
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a past which is gone forever, but there is a future which is still our own.
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
The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.
Frederick William Robertson
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
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
There is an inward state of the heart which makes truth credible the moment it is stated. It is credible to some men because of what they are. Love is credible to a loving heart purity is credible to a pure mind life is credible to a spirit in which life beats strongly it is incredible to other men.
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
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
