It is from out of the depths of our humility that the height of our destiny looks grandest. Let me truly feel that in myself I am nothing, and at once, through every inlet of my soul. God comes in, and is everyone in me.

More quotes by William Mountford
It is our souls which are the everlastingness of God's purpose in this earth.
William Mountford
Men would not be so hasty to abandon the world either as monks or as suicides, did they but see the jewels of wisdom and faith which are scattered so plentifully along its paths and lacking which no soul can come again from beyond the grave to gather.
William Mountford
Let a disciple live as Christ lived, and he will easily believe in living again as Christ does.
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
No martyr ever went the way of duty, and felt the shadow of death upon it. The shadow of death is darkest in the valley, which men walk in easily, and is never felt at all on a steep place, like Calvary. Truth is everlasting, and so is every lover of it and so he feels himself almost always.
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
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
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.
William Mountford
The second childhood of a saint is the early infancy of a happy immortality, as we believe.
William Mountford
With a mind not diseased, a holy life is a life of hope and at the end of it, death is a great act of hope.
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
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
Only let us love God, and then nature will compass us about like a cloud of Divine witnesses and all influences from the earth, and things on the earth, will be ministers of God to do us good. Only let there be God within us, and then every thing outside us will become a godlike help.
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
Duty reaches down the ages in its effects, and into eternity and when the man goes about it resolutely, it seems to me now as though his footsteps were echoing beyond the stars, though only heard faintly in the atmosphere of this world.
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
Yes, death, the hourly possibility of it, death is the sublimity of life.
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
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
When we feel how God was in our sorrows, we shall trust the more blessedly that He will be in our deaths.
William Mountford
