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.

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

Indolence is the dry rot of ev...

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.

Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy is a near kin to falsehood.

Anxiety is the poison of human...

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?

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

True religion extends alike to...

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.

Right actions for the future a...

Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past - the best evidence of regret for them that we can offer, or the world receive.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Words are both better and wors...

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.

Whoever in prayer can say, 'Ou...

Whoever in prayer can say, 'Our Father', acknowledges and should feel the brotherhood of the whole race of mankind.

Mystery is but another name for ignorance; if we were omniscient, all would be perfectly plain!

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

True art is reverent imitation of God.

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.

One of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call.

Have a time and place for ever...

Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its time and place, and you will not only accomplish more, but have far more leisure than those who are always hurrying.

Tryon Edwards 142 quotes

Whatever our place allotted to...

Whatever our place allotted to us by Providence that for us is the post of honor and duty. God estimates us, not by the position we are in, but by the way in which we fill it.

Nature hath nothing made so base, but can read some instruction to the wisest man.

Always have a book at hand, in...

Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold.
