Quotes by John Lancaster Spalding

  • As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape.
  • The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.
  • The highest courage is to dare to appear to be what one is.
  • Leave each one his touch of folly it helps to lighten life's burden which, if he could see himself as he is, might be too heavy to carry.
  • Do definite good first of all to yourself, then to definite persons.
