More quotes by 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
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
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
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain (as long as it was done out of love, not personal glory)
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
The man whom society will not forgive nor restore is driven into recklessness.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing.
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
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
To believe is to be happy to doubt is to be wretched. To believe is to be strong. Doubt cramps energy. Belief is power. Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do any thing that is worth the doing.
Frederick William Robertson
