What thousands and millions of recollections there must be in us! And every now and then one of them becomes known to us and it shows us what spiritual depths are growing in us, what mines of memory.

More quotes by William Mountford
The years of old age are stalls in the cathedral of life in which for aged men to sit and listen and meditate and be patient till the service is over, and in which they may get themselves ready to say Amen at the last, with all their hearts and souls and strength.
William Mountford
I do not say the mind gets informed by action, — bodily action but it does get earnestness and strength by it, and that nameless something that gives a man the mastership of his faculties.
William Mountford
Day and night, and every moment, there are voices about us. All the hours speak as they pass and in every event there is a message to us and all our circumstances talk with us but it is in Divine language, that worldliness misunderstands, that selfishness is frightened at, and that only the children of God hear rightly and happily.
William Mountford
Do we not hear voices, gentle and great, and some of them like the voices of departed friends,— do we not hear them saying to us, Come up hither?
William Mountford
Not every hour, nor every day, perhaps, can generous wishes ripen into kind actions but there is not a moment that cannot be freighted with prayer.
William Mountford
There is no burden of the spirit but is lightened by kneeling under it. Little by little, the bitterest feelings are sweetened by the mention of them in prayer. And agony itself stops swelling, if we can only cry sincerely, My God, my God!
William Mountford
For knowledge to become wisdom, and for the soul to grow, the soul must be rooted in God: and it is through prayer that there comes to us that which is the strength of our strength, and the virtue of our virtue, the Holy Spirit.
William Mountford
Yes, death, the hourly possibility of it, death is the sublimity of life.
William Mountford
It is our souls which are the everlastingness of God's purpose in this earth.
William Mountford
Night by night I will lie down and sleep in the thought of God, and in the thought, too, that my waking may be in the bosom of the Father and some time it will be, so I trust.
William Mountford
The day of our decease will be that of our coming of age and with our last breath we shall become free of the universe. And in some region of infinity, and from among its splendors, this earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty.
William Mountford
Let God do with me what He will, anything He will and, whatever it be, it will be either heaven itself, or some beginning of it.
William Mountford
It would not be more unreasonable to transplant a favorite flower out of black earth into gold dust than it is for a person to let money-getting harden his heart into contempt, or into impatience, of the little attentions, the merriments and the caresses of domestic life.
William Mountford
Faith is the inspiration of nobleness, it is the strength of integrity it is the life of love, and is everlasting growth for it it is courage of soul, and bridges over for our crossing the gulf between worldliness and heavenly-mindedness and it is the sense of the unseen, without which we could not feel God nor hope for heaven.
William Mountford
Let a disciple live as Christ lived, and he will easily believe in living again as Christ does.
William Mountford
To commiserate is sometimes more than to give, for money is external to a man's self, but he who bestows compassion communicates his own soul.
William Mountford
This earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty.
William Mountford
Eternity is the divine treasure-house, and hope is the window, by means of which mortals are permitted to see, as through a glass darkly, the things which God is preparing.
William Mountford
Yes, I live in God, and shall eternally. It is His hand upholds me now and death will be but an uplifting of me into His bosom.
William Mountford
God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us.
William Mountford
