Hannah Whitall Smith
Before the acorn can bring forth the oak, it must become itself a wreck. No plant ever came from any but a wrecked seed.
Hannah Whitall Smith
If you were to write down all the possible ways to motivate people to do better work, friendly praise would have to come near the head of your list.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Somehow even tragedies seem less tragical, when you are the actors in them, than they look to outsiders
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
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
If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it!
Hannah Whitall Smith
The mother eagle teachers her little ones to fly by making their nest so uncomfortable that they are forced to leave it and commit themselves to the unknown world of air outside. An just so does our God to us.
