HENRY DRUMMOND

The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.

Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all he can do.

Even to make the first cell possible, stellar space required to be swept of matter, suns must needs be broken up, and planets cool, the agents of geology labour millennium after millennium at the unfinished earth to prepare a material resting-place for the coming guest. Consider all this, and judge if Creation could have a sublimer meaning, or the Human Race possess a more splendid genesis.

Happiness... consists in giving, and in serving others.

There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.

No man can become a saint in his sleep.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.

Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

On the last analysis, then, love is life. Love never faileth and life never faileth so long as there is love.

He lives who dies to win a lasting name.

Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.

Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home.

Wherever we are, it is our friends that make our world.

The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.

To become Christ-like is the only thing in the whole world worth caring for, the thing before which every ambition of man is folly and all lower achievement vain.

Every creature that lives climbs up its own genealogical tree before it reaches its mature condition. All animals living, or that ever have lived, are united together by blood relationship of varying nearness or remoteness, and every animal now in existence has a pedigree stretching back, not merely for ten or a hundred generations, but through all geologic time since life first commenced on the earth.

Even to make the first cell possible, stellar space required to be swept of matter, suns must needs be broken up, and planets cool, the agents of geology labour millennium after millennium at the unfinished earth to prepare a material resting-place for the coming guest.
