More quotes by Tryon Edwards
Where duty is plain delay is both foolish and hazardous where it is not, delay may be both wisdom and safety.
Tryon Edwards

Tryon Edwards
We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
Tryon Edwards
Superstitions are, for the most part, but the shadows of great truths.
Tryon Edwards
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
Tryon Edwards
One of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call.
Tryon Edwards
Deviation from either truth or duty is a downward path.
Tryon Edwards
Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere to their definitions.
Tryon Edwards
