Harry Emerson Fosdick
Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
When you hear a person say, I hate, adding the name of some race, nation, religion, or social class, you are dealing with a belated mind. That person may dress like a modern, ride in an automobile, listen to the radio, but his or her mind is properly dated about 1000 B.C.

Harry Emerson Fosdick
Self-pity gets you nowhere. But insight to see that something can be done with the second-bests and adventurous daring to try might be a handle to take hold of.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.
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
All intelligent faith in God has behind it a background of humble agnosticism.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Bitterness imprisons life love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life love empowers it. Bitterness sours life love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life love heals it. Bitterness blinds life love anoints its eyes.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
The all but unanimous judgment seems to be that we, the democracies, are just as responsible for the rise of the dictators as the dictatorships themselves, and perhaps more so.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
