More quotes by Horace Bushnell
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.
Horace Bushnell
Habits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves
Horace Bushnell
Christ is known only by them that receive Him into their love, their faith, their deep want known only as He is enshrined within, felt as a Divine force, breathed in the inspirations of the secret life.
Horace Bushnell
To understand a philosopher requires a philosopher.
Horace Bushnell
Education is only second to nature.
Horace Bushnell
God listens for nothing so tenderly, as when His children help each other by their testimonies to His goodness and the way in which He has brought them deliverance.
Horace Bushnell
It is only Christianity, the great bond of love and duty to God, that makes any existence valuable or even tolerable.
Horace Bushnell

Horace Bushnell

Horace Bushnell
By His trials, God means to purify us, to take away all our self-confidence, and our trust in each other, and bring us into implicit, humble trust in Himself.
Horace Bushnell
Not all the winds, and storms, and earthquakes, and seas, and seasons of the world, have done so much to revolutionize the earth as Man, the power of an endless life, has done since the day he came forth upon it, and received dominion over it.
Horace Bushnell
Trust in God for great things. With your five loaves and two fishes He will show you a way to feed thousands.
Horace Bushnell
Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow.
Horace Bushnell
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
Horace Bushnell
Christianity is not so much the advent of a better doctrine as of a perfect character.
Horace Bushnell
The resurrection morning is a true sun-rising, the inbursting of a cloudless sky on all the righteous dead. They wake transfigured, at their Maker's call, with the fashion of their countenance altered and shining like His own.
Horace Bushnell
Take your burdens, and troubles, and losses, and wrongs, if come they must and will, as your opportunities, knowing that God has girded you for greater things than these.
Horace Bushnell
Every man's life is a plan of God.
Horace Bushnell
Christ commands you to take up His cross and follow Him, not that He may humble you, or lay some penance upon you, but that you may surrender the low self-will and the feeble pride of your sin, and ascend into the sublime patience of heavenly charity.
