Phillips Brooks
There is a necessary limit to our achievement, but none to our attempt.
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
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

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
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 man, who has begun to live more seriously within, begins to live more simply without.
Phillips Brooks
Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
