More quotes by William Barclay
A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.
William Barclay
The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
William Barclay
Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.
William Barclay
Strict orthodoxy can cost too much if it has to be bought at the price of love. All the orthodoxy in the world will never take the place of love.
William Barclay
The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.
William Barclay

William Barclay
There are certain things which are lost by being kept and saved by being used. Any individual talent is like that. If it is used, it will develop into something still greater. If someone refuses to use it, in the end that talent will be lost. Supremely so, life is like that.
William Barclay
Every discouraging sermon is a wicked sermon... There could hardly be a more un-Christian way of living than to go about in such a way as to depress and to discourage other people.
William Barclay
Prayer is not a way of making use of God prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.
William Barclay
The only way to get our values right is to see, not the beginning, but the end of the way, to see things not only in the light of time but in the light of Eternity.
William Barclay
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
William Barclay
Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.
William Barclay
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
William Barclay
