Sincerity is not test of trut...

Sincerity is not test of truth-no evidence of correctness of conduct. You may take poison sincerely believing it the needed medicine, but will it save your life?

The secret of a good memory i...

The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Appreciation, whether of natu...

Appreciation, whether of nature, or books, or art, or men, depends very much on temperament. What is beauty or genius or greatness to one, is far from being so to another.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

The first step to improvement...

The first step to improvement, whether mental, moral, or religious, is to know ourselves - our weaknesses, errors, deficiencies, and sins, that, by divine grace, we may overcome and turn from them all.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Prejudices are rarely overcom...

Prejudices are rarely overcome by argument; not being founded in reason they cannot be destroyed by logic.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

The first evil choice or act ...

The first evil choice or act is linked to the second; and each one to the one that follows, both by the tendency of our evil nature and by the power of habit, which holds us as by a destiny

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

If rich men would remember th...

If rich men would remember that shrouds have no pockets, they would, while living, share their wealth with their children, and give for the good of others, and so know the highest pleasure wealth can give.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Most of our censure of others...

Most of our censure of others is only oblique praise of self, uttered to show the wisdom and superiority of the speaker. It has all the invidiousness of self-praise, and all the ill-desert of falsehood.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Preventives of evil are far b...

Preventives of evil are far better than remedies; cheaper and easier of application, and surer in result.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Some persons are exaggerators...

Some persons are exaggerators by temperament. They do not mean untruth, but their feelings are strong, and their imaginations vivid, so that their statements are largely discounted by those of calm judgment and cooler temperament. They do not realize that we always weaken what we exaggerate.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Thoughts lead on to purpose, ...

Thoughts lead on to purpose, purpose leads on to actions, actions form habits, habits decide character, and character fixes our destiny.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Ridicule may be the evidence ...

Ridicule may be the evidence of with or bitterness and may gratify a little mind, or an ungenerous temper, but it is no test of reason or truth.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

He that resolves upon any gre...

He that resolves upon any great and good end, has, by that very resolution, scaled the chief barrier to it. He will find such resolution removing difficulties, searching out or making means, giving courage for despondency, and strength for weakness, and like the star to the wise men of old, ever guiding him nearer and nearer to perfection.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

To rejoice in another's prosp...

To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

True religion extends alike t...

True religion extends alike to the intellect and the heart. Intellect is in vain if it lead not to emotion, and emotion is vain if not enlightened by intellect; and both are vain if not guided by truth and leading to duty.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Words are both better and wor...

Words are both better and worse than thoughts, they express them, and add to them; they give them power for good or evil; they start them on an endless flight, for instruction and comfort and blessing, or for injury and sorrow and ruin.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

We never do evil so thoroughl...

We never do evil so thoroughly and heartily as when led to it by an honest but perverted, because mistaken, conscience.

True art is reverent imitation of God.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

To possess money is very well...

To possess money is very well; it may be a valuable servant; to be possessed by it is to be possessed by the devil, and one of the meanest and worst kind of devils.

Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong
