Lyman Abbott
Courage is caution overcome.
Lyman Abbott
Never say you are too old. You do not say it now, perhaps but by and by, when the hair grows gray and the eyes grow dim and the young despair comes to curse the old age, you will say, It is too late for me. Never too late! Never too old! How old are you--thirty, fifty, eighty? What is that in immortality? We are but children.
Lyman Abbott

Lyman Abbott
This is what evolution means--ordered progress development from poorer to richer, from lower to higher, from less to greater--progress. In the material universe, progress to higher forms in the moral universe, progress to higher life.
Lyman Abbott
It is easy to condemn, it is better to pity.
Lyman Abbott
God is in all nature thank God for the scientists, for they are thinking the thoughts of God after him, whether they know it or not.
Lyman Abbott
All Christian worship is a witness of the resurrection of Him who liveth for ever and ever. Because He lives, now abideth faith, hope, charity.
Lyman Abbott
It is a shame for a man to be a millionaire in possessions if he is not also a millionaire in beneficence.
