Hannah Whitall Smith
Somehow even tragedies seem less tragical, when you are the actors in them, than they look to outsiders
Hannah Whitall Smith
Those who are God's without reserve are, in every sense, content
Hannah Whitall Smith
You must hand yourself and all your inward experiences, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and feelings, all over into the care of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you, and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Foundations to be reliable must always be unshakable.

Hannah Whitall Smith
Let me advise thee not to talk of thyself as being old. There is something in Mind Cure, after all, and if thee continually talks of thyself as being old, thee may perhaps bring on some of the infirmities of age. At least I would not risk it if I were thee.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Nothing else but seeing God in everything can make us loving and patient with those who annoy us. When we realize that they are only the instruments for accomplishing His purpose in our lives, we will actually be able to thank them [inwardly] for the blessings they bring us.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Once I knew what it was to rest upon the rock of God's promises, and it was indeed a precious resting place, but now I rest in His grace. He is teaching me that the bosom of His love is a far sweeter resting-place than even the rock of His promises.
Hannah Whitall Smith
You have trusted Him as your dying Savior now trust Him as your living Savior. Just as much as He came to deliver you from future punishment did He also come to deliver you from present bondage. Just as truly as He came to bear your stripes for you has He come to live your life for you.
Hannah Whitall Smith
For the mother is and must be, whether she knows it or not, the greatest, strongest and most lasting teacher her children have.
Hannah Whitall Smith
God's care for us is more watchful and more tender than the care of any human father could possibly be.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ!
Hannah Whitall Smith
I wonder how many of our tombstones will have to be inscribed with the epitaph 'Died of too many meetings'?
Hannah Whitall Smith
Thee may tell Aunt Janet from me that she might as well try to stop the stars in their courses as to try to stop a love affair.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Christians, who have given themselves into the care and keeping of the Lord Jesus, still continue to bend beneath the weight of their burden, and often go weary and heavy-laden throughout the whole length of their journey.
Hannah Whitall Smith
This way of seeing our Father in everything makes life one long thanksgiving and gives a rest of heart, and, more than that, a gayety of spirit, that is unspeakable.
Hannah Whitall Smith
God's slavation is not a purchase to be made, nor wages to be earned, nor a summit to be climbed, nor a task to be accomplished but it is simply and only a gift to be accepted, and can only be accepted by faith.
Hannah Whitall Smith
