More quotes by Thomas De Witt Talmage
Take not into your ear that scum of hell that people call tittle-tattle. Whosoever willingly listens to a slander is equally guilty with the one who tells it, and an old writer says they ought both to be hanged the one by the tongue and the other by the ear. Do not smile upon such a spaniel, lest like a pleased dog, he puts his dirty paw upon you.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
I like the Bible folded between lids of cloth, or calfskin, or morocco, but I like it better when, in the shape of a man, it goes out into the world-a Bible illustrated.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
In the lottery of life there are more prizes drawn than blanks, and to one misfortune there are fifty advantages. Despondency is the most unprofitable feeling a man can indulge in.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
I care not what your education is, elaborate or nothing, what your mental calibre is, great or small, that man who concentrates all his energies of body, mind and soul in one direction is a tremendous man.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
I wish that I could marshall all the young to an appreciation of the fact that you have an earnest work in life and your amusements and recreations are only to help you along in that work.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
What may we expect of people who work all day and dance all night? After a while they will be thrown on society nervous, exhausted imbeciles.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
If the bones of all those who have fallen as a prey to intemperance could be piled up it would make a vast pyramid. Who will gird himself for the journey and try with me to scale this mountain of the dead--going up miles high on human carcasses to find still other peaks far above, mountain above mountain, white with the bones of drunkards.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
God puts his ear so closely down to your lips that he can hear your faintest whisper.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
Social dissipation, as witnessed in the ball-room, is the abettor of pride, the instigator of jealousy, it is the sacrificial altar of health, it is the defiler of the soul, it is the avenue of lust and it is the curse of every town in America.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
I move for a creed for all our denominations made out of Scripture quotations, pure and simple. That would be impregnable against infidelity and Appolyonic assault. That would be beyond human criticism. Let us make it simpler and plainer for people to get into the Kingdom of God.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
One good, hearty laugh is a bombshell exploding in the right place, while spleen and discontent are a gun that kicks over the man who shoots it off.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
The pen is the lever that moves the world.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
Logic has its use and metaphysics has its use, but neither of them is of much help in the making of a creed.
