I cannot harness a horse. I am afraid of a cow.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

You, mother, are not responsi...

You, mother, are not responsible to set the whole world right; you are responsible only to make one pure, sacred, and divine household.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

I think of death as a glad aw...

I think of death as a glad awakening from this troubled sleep which we call life; as an emancipation from a world, which, beautiful though it may be, is still a land of captivity.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Evolution does not attempt to...

Evolution does not attempt to explain the origin of life. It is simply a history of the process of life. With the secret cause of life evolution has nothing to do. A man, therefore, may be a materialistic evolutionist or a theistic evolutionist; that is, he may believe that the cause is some single unintelligent impersonal force, or he may believe that the cause is a wise and beneficent God.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

I firmly believe that the met...

I firmly believe that the method which sets theological theories against scientifically ascertained facts, is fatal to the current theology and injurious to the spirit of religion; and that the method which frankly recognizes the facts of life, and appreciates the spirit of the scientists whose patient and assiduous endeavor has brought those facts to light, will commend the spirit of religion to the new generation, and will benefit--not impair--theology as a science, by compelling its reconstruction.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

If there is to be no satisfac...

If there is to be no satisfaction in pleasure, none in wisdom, none in ambition, none in the golden mean, what then? Ah, where then? In duty. In doing right because it is right.

I abhor a hoe. I am fond of flowers but not of dirt, and had rather buy them than cultivate them.

The very essence of rationalism is that it assumes that the reason is the highest faculty in man and the lord of all the rest.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

The highest qualities of char...

The highest qualities of character... must be earned.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Every life is a march from innocence, through temptation, to virtue or vice.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

If you and I have not seen God, we cannot bear witness to God.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Never say you are too old. Yo...

Never say you are too old. You do not say it now, perhaps; but by and by, when the hair grows gray and the eyes grow dim and the young despair comes to curse the old age, you will say, "It is too late for me." Never too late! Never too old! How old are you--thirty, fifty, eighty? What is that in immortality? We are but children.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Do not think that you can fight corruption without while you let corruption fester within.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Behind all forms of beauty th...

Behind all forms of beauty there is an infinite unity, and this unity, this intrinsic and eternal beauty, the artist is seeking to discern and to make others discern.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

A child is a beam of sunlight...

A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice - but as yet unstained.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

It is a shame for a man to be...

It is a shame for a man to be a millionaire in possessions if he is not also a millionaire in beneficence.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Every great sin ought to rous...

Every great sin ought to rouse a great anger. Mob law is better than no law at all. A community which rises in its wrath to punish with misdirected anger a great wrong is in a healthier moral condition than a community which looks upon its perpetration with apathy and unconcern.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

The artist does not really create; he discovers.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

This is what evolution means-...

This is what evolution means--ordered progress; development from poorer to richer, from lower to higher, from less to greater--progress. In the material universe, progress to higher forms; in the moral universe, progress to higher life.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

It is in vain for us to devise schemes by which competition can be put out of civilized life. Competition is the condition of life.
