Study how to do the most good and let the pay take care of itself.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

A graceful and blessed old ag...

A graceful and blessed old age must have three elements in it: a happy retrospect, a peaceful present, and an inspiring future. And old age cannot have either one of these three if the youth has been wasted and manhood has been misspent.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

If the impure and the unjust,...

If the impure and the unjust, the drunkard and the licentious, are loathsome to us, what must be the infinite loathing of an infinitely pure Spirit for those who are worldly and selfish, licentious and cruel, ambitious and animal! But with this great loathing is a great pity. And the pity conquers the loathing, appeases it, satisfies it, is reconciled with it, only as it redeems the sinner from his loathsomeness, lifts him up from his degradation, brings him to truth and purity, to love and righteousness; for only thus is he or can he be brought to God.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

If I am to tell you how to gr...

If I am to tell you how to grow old gracefully, I must tell you at the beginning of life; for no man can grow old gracefully unless he begins early.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

All Christian worship is a witness of the resurrection of Him who liveth for ever and ever. Because He lives, "now abideth faith, hope, charity."

Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

God is in all nature; thank God for the scientists, for they are thinking the thoughts of God after him, whether they know it or not.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Never lie to a child about do...

Never lie to a child about doctors or medicine or anything else; but if you feel, as some people seem to feel, that life without lying is an impossibility, at least don't lie about the amount of pain likely to result from a surgical procedure, or about the taste of some medicine. If you know that something to be done will hurt, say so; if a mixture to be swallowed is unpleasant, say so. If you deceive a child once in such matters, do not imagine that it will trust you again. You do not deserve trust, and you will not get it.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Conscience is what? It is put...

Conscience is what? It is putting together a moral act and a moral ideal, and measuring the act by the ideal. It is putting this moral act which you do alongside the eternal laws of God, and seeing how it stands by those laws of God.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

How few of us appreciate the ...

How few of us appreciate the fact that a very great deal of physical suffering in after life comes from bad mental training in childhood! I do not mean suffering of an imaginary kind; I mean disease which may entirely ruin a life which might have been of use to the world, and which surely would have been happier but for the lost health. Many a chronic invalid might have preserved his health had he been taught to use his brain properly when a child.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

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

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

We Gentiles owe our life to I...

We Gentiles owe our life to Israel. It is Israel who has brought us the message that God is one, and that God is a just and righteous God, and demands righteousness of his children, and demands nothing else. It is Israel who has brought us the message that God is our Father. It is Israel who, in bringing us the divine law, has laid the foundation of liberty.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Every man's life is, consciou...

Every man's life is, consciously or unconsciously, a quest for the infinite and the eternal reality.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Postmodernism represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

Man puts manacles on his fellow-man; God never.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

A miracle no longer seems to ...

A miracle no longer seems to me a manifestation of extraordinary power, but an extraordinary manifestation of ordinary power. God is always showing himself.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

No man can be patient who has not strong passions, for patience is passion tamed.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

We often pray for purity, unselfishness, for the highest qualities of character, and forget that these things cannot be given, but must be earned.

Lyman Abbott 38 quotes

He who says, "I know no fear,...

He who says, "I know no fear," is no hero. No man knows courage unless he does know fear, and has that in him which is superior to fear, and conquers it.

Religion is not a conclusion of the reason.
