Ralph Washington Sockman Quotes

Give the best you have to the highest you know... and do it now Picture Quote #1

Habit must play a larger place in our religious life. We worship when we feel like it, we pray when we feel like it. We read the Bible when we feel like it. Leaving our religious exercises to the promptings of impulse, we become creatures of impulse rather than soldiers of Christ. An army made up of creatures of impulse would be only a mob. So is a church Picture Quote #1

True humility is intelligent self-respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us mindful of the nobility God meant us to have. Yet it makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be Picture Quote #1

A service of worship is primarily a service to God. When we realize this and act upon it, we make it a service to men Picture Quote #1

A true lover always feels in debt to the one he loves Picture Quote #1

What makes greatness is starting something that lives after you Picture Quote #1

True liberty consists not merely in being free from something, but also in being free for something Picture Quote #1

As long as we can keep our international relations in the realm of conference rather than open conflict, we are giving truth more time to vindicate itself. And what we ourselves need is more faith in the power of truth Picture Quote #1

Our growth depends not on how many experiences we devour, but on how many we digest Picture Quote #1

The hope of free people in a frightened world is the values which people put ahead of inventions when their backs are to the wall. These values are beauty, truth, goodness and having a faith, all of which are bombproof Picture Quote #1

When the congregation becomes the norm by which sermons are measured, a minister has put a mortgage on his soul Picture Quote #1

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority Picture Quote #1
