More quotes by John Lancaster Spalding

John Lancaster Spalding
The writers who accomplish most are those who compel thought on the highest and most profoundly interesting subjects.
John Lancaster Spalding
Each forward step we take we leave some phantom of ourselves behind.
John Lancaster Spalding
Those who believe in our ability do more than stimulate us. They create for us an atmosphere in which it becomes easier to succeed.
John Lancaster Spalding
The doctrine of the utter vanity of life is a doctrine of despair, and life is hope.
John Lancaster Spalding
As we can not love what is hateful, let us accustom ourselves neither to think nor to speak of disagreeable things and persons.
John Lancaster Spalding
