More quotes by 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
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
It is good for us to think that no grace or blessing is truly ours till we are aware that God has blessed some one else with it through us.
Phillips Brooks
I would know any man as a Christian, would rejoice to know any man as a Christian, whom Jesus would recognize as a Christian and Jesus Christ, I am sure, in these old days recognized His followers even if they came after Him with the blindest sight, with the most imperfect recognition and acknowledgment of what He was and of what He could do.
Phillips Brooks
The absence of sentimentalism in Christ's relations with men is what makes His tenderness so exquisitely touching.
Phillips Brooks
Greatness is not so much a certain size as a certain quality in your life.
Phillips Brooks
Joy in one's work is the consummate tool.
Phillips Brooks

Phillips Brooks
There is such a difference between coming out of sorrow thankful for relief, and coming out of sorrow full of sympathy with and trust in Him who has released us.
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
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Phillips Brooks
Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
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
Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.
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
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
Very strange is this quality of our human nature which decrees that unless we feel a future before us we do not live completely in the present.
Phillips Brooks
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.
Phillips Brooks
Everything keeps its best nature only by being put to its best use.
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.
