Alexander Maclaren Quotes

A living man must have a living God, or his soul will perish in the midst of Earthly plenty, and will thirst and die whilst the water of Earthly delights is running all around him. We are made to need persons not things Picture Quote #1

I will guide thee with mine eye - a glance, not a blow - a look of directing love that at once heartens to duty, and tells duty. We must be very near Him to catch that look, and very much in sympathy with Him to understand it; but when we do, we must be swift to obey Picture Quote #1

True faith, by a mighty effort of the will, fixes it's gaze on our Divine Helper, and there finds it possible and wise to lose it's fears. It is madness to say, I will not be afraid; it is wisdom and peace to say, I will trust and not be afraid Picture Quote #1

The joys of heaven are not the joys of passive contemplation, of dreamy remembrance, of perfect repose; but they are described thus: They rest not day nor night. His servants serve Him, and see His face Picture Quote #1

A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on Picture Quote #1

Kindness does not require us to be blind to facts or to live in fancies, but it does require us to cherish a habit of goodwill, ready to show pity if sorrow appears, and slow to turn away even if hostility appears Picture Quote #1

To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty Picture Quote #1

You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation Picture Quote #1

The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise Picture Quote #1

Let me always remember that it is not the amount of religious knowledge which I have, but the amount which I use, that determines my religious position and character Picture Quote #1

Only he who can say, the Lord is my strength, can say, of whom shall I be afraid? Picture Quote #1

The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation? Picture Quote #1

Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction Picture Quote #1

In such a world as this, with such hearts as ours, weakness is wickedness in the long run. Whoever lets himself be shaped and guided by any thing lower than an inflexible will, fixed in obedience to God, will in the end be shaped into a deformity, and guided to wreck and ruin Picture Quote #1

A man who has not learned to say no - who is not resolved that he will take God's way in spite of every dog that can bark at him, in spite of every silvery voice that can woo him aside - will be a weak and wretched man till he dies Picture Quote #1

If life has not made you by God's grace, through faith, holy - think you, will death without faith do it? the cold waters of that narrow stream are no purifying bath in which you may wash and be clean. No! No! As you go down into them, you will come up from them Picture Quote #1

While the agent of renovation is the Divine Spirit, and the condition of renovation is our cleaving to Christ, the medium of renovation and the weapon which the transforming grace employs is the word of the truth of the gospel, whereby we are sanctified Picture Quote #1

If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake Picture Quote #1

The grace of God, says Luther, is like a flying summer shower. It has fallen upon more than one land, and passed on. Judea had it, and lies barren and dry. These Asiatic coasts had it, and flung it away Picture Quote #1

The mystery of the universe, and the meaning of God's world, are shrouded in hopeless obscurity, until we learn to feel that all laws suppose a lawgiver, and that all working involves a Divine energy Picture Quote #1

All that this world knows of living lies in giving - and more giving; he that keeps, be sure he loses - friendship grows by what it uses Picture Quote #1

Unless we are wedded to Jesus Christ by the simple act of trust in His mercy and His power, christ is nothing to us Picture Quote #1
