Tryon Edwards Quotes

Some so speak in exaggerations and superlatives that we need to make a large discount from their statements before we can come at their real meaning Picture Quote #1

The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds Picture Quote #1

Quiet and sincere sympathy is often the most welcome and efficient consolation to the afflicted. Said a wise man to one in deep sorrow, I did not come to comfort you; God only can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your affliction Picture Quote #1

We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living Picture Quote #1

To rejoice in another’s prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another’s grief is to alleviate or dispel your own Picture Quote #1

To be good, we must do good; and by doing good we take a sure means of being good, as the use and exercise of the muscles increase their power Picture Quote #1

Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old Picture Quote #1

We never reach our ideals, whether of mental or moral improvement, but the thought of them shows us our deficiencies, and spurs us on to higher and better things Picture Quote #1

Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere to their definitions Picture Quote #1

We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven Picture Quote #1

The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers rather than to fill it with the accumulation of others Picture Quote #1

Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end Picture Quote #1

Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so Picture Quote #1

Seek happiness for it's own sake, and you will not find it; seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine Picture Quote #1

Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, at first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel Picture Quote #1

Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated Picture Quote #1

Appreciation, whether of nature, or books, or art, or men, depends very much on temperament. What is beauty or genius or greatness to one, is far from being so to another Picture Quote #1

Duty performed gives clearness and firmness to faith, and faith thus strengthened through duty becomes the more assured and satisfying to the soul Picture Quote #1

To murder character is as truly a crime as to murder the body: the tongue of the slanderer is brother to the dagger of the assassin Picture Quote #1

Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold Picture Quote #1

Indolence is the dry rot of even a good mind and a good character; the practical uselessness of both. It is the waste of what might be a happy and useful life Picture Quote #1

This world is the land of the dying; the next is the land of the living Picture Quote #1

Where duty is plain delay is both foolish and hazardous; where it is not, delay may be both wisdom and safety Picture Quote #1

The slanderer and the assassin differ only in the weapon they use; with the one it is the dagger, with the other the tongue. The former is worse that the latter, for the last only kills the body, while the other murders the reputation Picture Quote #1

Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its time and place, and you will not only accomplish more, but have far more leisure than those who are always hurrying Picture Quote #1

To possess money is very well; it may be a valuable servant; to be possessed by it is to be possessed by the devil, and one of the meanest and worst kind of devils Picture Quote #1

Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future Picture Quote #1

He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today Picture Quote #1

Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong Picture Quote #1

The first evil choice or act is linked to the second; and each one to the one that follows, both by the tendency of our evil nature and by the power of habit, which holds us as by a destiny Picture Quote #1
