Hannah Whitall Smith - "Before the acorn can bring forth the oak, it must become itself a wreck. No plant ever came from any but a wrecked seed."
Hannah Whitall Smith - "Foundations to be reliable must always be unshakable."
Hannah Whitall Smith - "God's slavation is not a purchase to be made, nor wages to be earned, nor a summit to be climbed, nor a task to be accomplished; but it is simply and only a gift to be accepted, and can only be accepted by faith."
Hannah Whitall Smith - "If our hearts are full of our own wretched "I ams" we will have no ears to hear His glorious, soul-satisfying "I Am."
Hannah Whitall Smith - "Our lives are full of supposes. Suppose this should happen or suppose that should happen; but what could we do and how would we bear it? But, if we are living in the "high tower" of the dwelling place of God, all these supposes will drop out of our lives."
Hannah Whitall Smith - "Put together all the tenderest love you know of, multiply it by infinity, and you will begin to see glimpses of the love and grace of God."
Hannah Whitall Smith - "The Bible is a statement, not of theories, but of actual facts... things are not true because they are in the Bible, but they are only in the Bible because they are true."
Harry S. Truman - "We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God... With God's help the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace."
Harvey Mackay - "A mediocre person tells. A good person explains. A superior person demonstrates. A great person inspires others to see for themselves."
Henri Nouwen - "Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the 'Beloved'"
Henry Blackaby - "Regardless of what we say, it's what we do that reveals what we as a church or individual actually believe about God and His will for us."
Henry Blackaby - "Watch to see where God is working and join Him!"
Henry Blackaby - "When we hear His call and respond accordingly, there will be no limit to what God can and will do through His people. But if we do not even recognize when He is speaking, we are in trouble at the very heart of our relationship to Him."
Henry Drummond - "All fruits grow - whether they grow in the soil or in the soul; whether they are fruits of the wild grape or the True Vine. No man can make things grow. He can get them to grow by arranging all the circumstances and fulfilling all the conditions. But the growing is done by God."
Henry Drummond - "Banish forever from your minds the idea that religion is subtraction. It does not tell us to give things up, but rather gives us something so much better that they give themselves up."
Henry Drummond - "Be in the company of good books, beautiful pictures, and charming, delightful, and inspiring music; and let all that one hears, sees, reads, and thinks lift and inspire higher."
Henry Drummond - "He is training us to a kind of faithfulness whose high quality is unattained by any other earthly means."
Henry Drummond - "He told us - and it is only because we are so accustomed to it that we do not wonder more at the magnificence of the conception - that when our place in this world should know us no more there would be another place ready for us."
Henry Drummond - "It is your business to restore the integrity and the righteousness in the high places of this land, and let the people see examples which will be helpful to them in their Christian life."
Henry Drummond - "It matters little whether we go to foreign lands or stay at home, as long as we are sure that we are where God puts us."
Henry Drummond - "Let a man remember that the great thing is not to think about religion, but to do it."
Henry Drummond - "One has to do a great deal more than display his Christianity. He must not only talk it, but live it."
Henry Drummond - "So Godlike a gift is intellect, so wondrous a thing is consciousness, that to link them with the animal world seems to trifle with the profoundest distinction in the Universe."
Henry Drummond - "When a man is wrapped up in himself, seeking only his own, he finds he is seeking a very shallow object, and very soon gets to the end of it; hence all the springs of life have nothing to act upon, and depression follows."
Henry Ford - "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right."
Henry Ward Beecher - "A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school to Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better."
Henry Ward Beecher - "Christianity works while infidelity talks. She feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, visits and cheers the sick, and seeks the lost, while infidelity abuses her and babbles nonsense and profanity. 'By their fruits ye shall know them.'"
Henry Ward Beecher - "'I can forgive but I cannot forget' is only another way of saying 'I cannot forgive.'"
Henry Ward Beecher - "If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere."
Henry Ward Beecher - "Sink the Bible to the bottom of the ocean, and still man's obligation to God would be unchanged. He would have the same path to tread, only his lamp and his guide would be gone; the same voyage to make, but his chart and compass would be overboard."
Henry Ward Beecher - "There is not much practical Christianity in the man who lives on better terms with angels and seraphs, than with his own children, servants, and neighbors."
House Committee on the Judiciary report by Mr. Meacham in 1854 - "What is an establishment of religion? It must have a creed, defining what a man must believe; it must have rites and ordinances, which believers must observe; it must have ministers of defined qualifications, to teach the doctrines and administer the rites; it must have tests for the submissive and penalties for the non-conformist. There never was an established religion without all these... Down to the Revolution, every colony did sustain religion in some form. It was deemed peculiarly proper that the religion of liberty should be upheld by a free people. Had the people, during the Revolution, had a suspicion of any attempt to war against Christianity, that Revolution would have been strangled in its cradle. At the time of the Constitution and the amendments, the universal sentiment was that Christianity should be encouraged, not any one sect. Any attempt to level and discard all religion would have been viewed with universal indignation. The object was not to substitute Judaism or Mohammedanism, or infidelity, but to prevent rivalry among the sects to the exclusion of others. It must be considered as the foundation on which the whole structure rests. Laws will not have permanence or power without the sanction of religious sentiment, - without a firm belief that there is a power above us that will reward our virtues and punish our vices. In this age there can be no substitute for Christianity; that, in its general principles, is the great conservative element on which we must rely for the purity and permanence of free institutions."
Howard Hendricks - "Children are not looking for perfect parents, but they are looking for honest parents."
Howard Hendricks - "Has it ever occurred to you that love is the greatest positive force in existence?"
Howard Hendricks - "Show me a man's closest companions and I can make a fairly accurate guess as to what sort of man he is, as well as what sort of man he is likely to become."
Howard Hendricks - "The home marks a child for life."
Howard Hendricks - "The genius of the Word of God is that it has staying power; it can stand up to repeated exposure. In fact, that's why it is unlike any other book. You may be an expert in a given field. If you read a book in that field two or three times you've got it. But that's never true of the Bible. Read it over and over again, and you'll see things that you've never seen before."
Hupert Yockey - "We are not dealing with anything like a superficial resemblance between DNA and a written text. We are not saying DNA is like a message. Rather, DNA is a message. True design thus returns to biology."
Hugh Huwitt - "Jonathan Swift wrote that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. It is also better to repeat yourself and be thought a scold than to speak only once and never be heard."
