More quotes by William Barclay
I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.
William Barclay
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay

William Barclay
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay
The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.
William Barclay
Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.
William Barclay
A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
William Barclay
Christian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like it means being free to do as we ought.
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
Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.
William Barclay
Self-defense is a part of the law of nature nor can it be denied the community, even against the king himself.
William Barclay
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
William Barclay
