More quotes by Hannah Whitall Smith
An idea is a curious thing. It will not work unless you do.
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
My soul was always so full of aspirations, that a God was a necessity to me. I was like a bird with an instinct of migration upon me, and a country to migrate to was as essential as it is to the bird
Hannah Whitall Smith
Put together all the tenderest love you know of, multiply it by infinity, and you will begin to see glimpses of the love and grace of God.
Hannah Whitall Smith
It is hard for me to believe that any husband and wife are really happy together. And to have thee say you are is an unspeakable comfort.
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
Those who are God's without reserve are, in every sense, content
Hannah Whitall Smith
Nothing else is needed to quiet all your fears, but just this, that GOD IS.
Hannah Whitall Smith
If we will only surrender ourselves utterly to the Lord, and will trust Him perfectly, we shall find our souls mounting up with wings as eagles to the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, where earthly annoyances or sorrows have no power to disturb us.
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
We were made to be human beings here, and when people try to be anything else, they generally get into some sort of scrapes.
Hannah Whitall Smith
I find that every soul that has travelled on this highway of holiness for any length of time, has invariably cut loose from its old moorings.
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
We must take our troubles to the Lord, but we must do more than that, we must leave them there.
Hannah Whitall Smith
If the Lord sets you to guard a lonely post in perfect stillness from all active work, you ought to be just as content as to be in the midst of the active warfare. It is no virtue to love the Master's work better than the Master's will.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Somehow even tragedies seem less tragical, when you are the actors in them, than they look to outsiders
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
Foundations to be reliable must always be unshakable.
