More quotes by Phillips Brooks
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.
Phillips Brooks
O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.
Phillips Brooks
Greatness is not so much a certain size as a certain quality in your life.

Phillips Brooks
Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely way, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple.
Phillips Brooks
He who thinks that he is being released from the work, and not set free in order that he may accomplish that work, mistakes the Christ from whom the freedom comes, mistakes the condition into which his soul is invited.
Phillips Brooks
Think of life as a voyage. The truest liver of the truest life is like a voyager who, as he sails, is not indifferent to all the beauty of the sea around him.
Phillips Brooks
Joy in one's work is the consummate tool.
Phillips Brooks
There is no life so humble that, if it be true and genuinely human and obedient to God, it may not hope to shed some of His light. There is no life so meager that the greatest and wisest of us can afford to despise it. We cannot know at what moment it may flash forth with the life of God.
Phillips Brooks
The trouble is that I'm in a hurry, but God isn't.
Phillips Brooks
Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone.
Phillips Brooks
The Saviour comes in the strength of righteousness. Righteousness is at the bottom of all things. Righteousness is thorough it is the very spirit of unsparing truth.
