Elizabeth Haydon famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow as necessary as its inflow. If we do not perpetually draw the fresh supply from the living Fountain, we shall either grow stagnant or empty, It is, therefore, not so much a perpetual fullness as a perpetual filling.

  • Existence is not itself a good thing, that we should spend a lifetime securing its necessaries: a life spent, however victoriously, in securing the necessaries of life is no more than an elaborate furnishing and decoration of apartments for the reception of a guest who is never to come. Our business here is not to live, but to live happily.

  • Paradoxically, life is worth living for those who have something for which they will gladly give up life.

  • Because life is complicated and difficult. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't truly lived.

  • Life is God's gift to us. What we do with it is our gift to God.

  • We are all mediums for our own basic truths. All we really have in life is the primal force that moves us through our days--our unvarnished, untutored, ever-present, inborn agency.

  • The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.

  • The Lord is my Rock. He has always been there, always present at good times and bad; and to me when I feel His presence, my life is full.

  • The course of life is unpredictable no one can write his autobiography in advance.

  • Life is not meaningful...unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.
