More quotes by 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
An idea is a curious thing. It will not work unless you do.
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
I wonder how many of our tombstones will have to be inscribed with the epitaph 'Died of too many meetings'?
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
No soul can be really at rest until it has given up all dependence on everything else and has been forced to depend on the Lord alone. As long as our expectation is from other things, nothing but disappointment awaits us.
Hannah Whitall Smith
When all else is gone, God is left, and nothing changes Him.

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
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
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
Of all hateful occupations, housekeeping is to my mind the most hateful.
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
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
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
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
Faith, like sight is nothing apart from God. You might as well shut your eyes and look inside, and see whether you have sight as to look inside to discover whether you have faith.
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
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
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
Look upon your chastening as God's chariots sent to carry your soul into the high places of spiritual achievement.
