More quotes by Harry Emerson Fosdick
No one can get inner peace by pouncing on it, by vigorously willing to have it ... Peace is a consciousness of springs too deep for earthly droughts to dry up. Peace is the gift not of volitional struggle but of spiritual hospitality.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Peace is an awareness of reserves from beyond ourselves, so that our power is not so much in us as through us. Peace is the gift, not of volitional struggle, but of spiritual hospitality.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Men will work hard for money. They will work harder for other men. But men will work hardest of all when they are dedicated to a cause. Until willingness overflows obligation, men fight as conscripts rather than following the flag as patriots. Duty is never worthily performed until it is performed by one who would gladly do more if only he could.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
I hate war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatreds it arouses.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Real Christians do not carry their religion, their religion carries them. It is not weight, it is wings.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
No one can get inner peace by pouncing on it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Religion is something that only secondarily can be taught. It must must primarily be taught.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
We cannot restore integrity and morality to our society until each of us-singly and individually-takes responsibility for our actions.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
A good sermon is an engineering operation by which a chasm is bridged so that the spiritual goods on one side-the 'unsearchable riches of Christ' - are actually transported into personal lives upon the other.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
He is a poor son whose sonship does not make him desire to serve all men's mothers.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Whatever you laugh at in others, laughs at yourself
Harry Emerson Fosdick
I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Nothing in human life, least of all in religion, is ever right until it is beautiful.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
It is by acts (actions) and not by ideas (mere thoughts) that people [really] live.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Divinity is not something supernatural that ever and again invades the natural order in a crashing miracle. Divinity is not in some remote heaven, seated on a throne. Divinity is love. . . . Wherever goodness, beauty, truth, love, are-there is the divine.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
