Image
Superstitions are, for the most part, but the shadows of great truths.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Words are both better and worse than thoughts, they express them, and add to them they give them power for good or evil they start them on an endless flight, for instruction and comfort and blessing, or for injury and sorrow and ruin.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.
Tryon Edwards
Image
The most we can get out of life is its discipline for ourselves, and its usefulness for others.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy.

Anxiety is the poison of human life the parent of many sins and of more miseries.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Anxiety is the poison of human life the parent of many sins and of more miseries. In a world where everything is doubtful, and where we may be disappointed, and be blessed in disappointment, why this restless stir and commotion of mind? Can it alter the cause, or unravel the mystery of human events?
Tryon Edwards
Image
True humility is not an abject, groveling, self-despising spirit it is but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.
Tryon Edwards
Image
If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong
Tryon Edwards
Image
Whatever our place allotted to us by Providence that for us is the post of honor and duty. God estimates us, not by the position we are in, but by the way in which we fill it.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. — The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.
