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

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.

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

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.

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.

To murder character is as truly a crime as to murder the body: the tongue of the slanderer is brother to the dagger of the assassin

He that is possessed with a prejudice is possessed with a devil, and one of the worst kinds of devils, for it shuts out the truth, and often leads to ruinous error.

Indolence is the dry rot of e...

Indolence is the dry rot of even a good mind and a good character; the practical uselessness of both. It is the waste of what might be a happy and useful life.

To rule one's anger is well; to prevent it is still better.

All things are ordered by God...

All things are ordered by God, but His providence takes in our free agency, as well as His own sovereignty.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

True humility is not an abjec...

True humility is not an abject, groveling, self-despising spirit; it is but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.

This world is the land of the dying; the next is the land of the living.

Deviation from either truth or duty is a downward path.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Some so speak in exaggeration...

Some so speak in exaggerations and superlatives that we need to make a large discount from their statements before we can come at their real meaning.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Quiet and sincere sympathy is...

Quiet and sincere sympathy is often the most welcome and efficient consolation to the afflicted. Said a wise man to one in deep sorrow, I did not come to comfort you; God only can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your affliction.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Anxiety is the poison of huma...

Anxiety is the poison of human life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries. In a world where everything is doubtful, and where we may be disappointed, and be blessed in disappointment, why this restless stir and commotion of mind? Can it alter the cause, or unravel the mystery of human events?
