More quotes by Phillips Brooks
It is almost as presumptuous to think you can do nothing as to think you can do everything.
Phillips Brooks
No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind.
Phillips Brooks
Life is too short to nurse one's misery. Hurry across the lowlands so that you may spend more time on the mountain tops.
Phillips Brooks
There is a necessary limit to our achievement, but none to our attempt.
Phillips Brooks
The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.
Phillips Brooks
The place where two friends first met is sacred to them all through their friendship, all the more sacred as their friendship deepens and grows old.
Phillips Brooks
We anticipate a time when the love of truth shall have come up to our love of liberty, and men shall be cordially tolerant and earnest believers both at once.
Phillips Brooks
A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.
Phillips Brooks
There are two ways of defending a castle one by shutting yourself up in it, and guarding every loop-hole the other by making it an open centre of operations from which all the surrounding country may be subdued. Is not the last the truest safety?
Phillips Brooks
The trouble is that I'm in a hurry, but God isn't.
Phillips Brooks
You must learn, you must let God teach you, that the only way to get rid of your past is to make a future out of it. God will waste nothing.
Phillips Brooks
Greatness is not so much a certain size as a certain quality in your life.
Phillips Brooks
The feet of the humblest may walk in the field Where the feet of the Holiest trod, This, then, is the marvel to mortals revealed.
Phillips Brooks
Everywhere the flower of obedience is intelligence. Obey a man with cordial loyalty and you will understand him.
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
Pray for and work for fullness of life above every thing full red blood in the body full honesty and truth in the mind and the fullness of a grateful love for the Saviour in your heart.
Phillips Brooks
We do not want to lose our grief, because our grief is bound up with our love and we could not cease to mourn without being robbed of our affections.
Phillips Brooks
Faith says not, 'I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it,' but, 'God sent it, and so it must be good for me.' Faith, walking in the dark with God, only prays Him to clasp its hand more closely.
Phillips Brooks
If man is man and God is God, to live without prayer is not merely an awful thing: it is an infinitely foolish thing.
Phillips Brooks
To whatever world He carries our souls when they shall pass out of these imprisoning bodies, in those worlds these souls of ours shall find themselves part of the same great temple for it belongs not to this earth alone.
