Quotes by Horace Bushnell
- Be an observer of providence; for God is showing you ever, by the way in which He leads you, whither He means to lead. Study your trials, your talents, the world's wants, and stand ready to serve God now, in whatever He brings to your hand.
- Habits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves.
- It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.
- There is no fit search after truth which does not, first of all, begin to live the truth which it knows.
- There never has been a great and beautiful character, which has not become so by filling well the ordinary and smaller offices appointed of God.
- Trust God for great things; with your five loaves and two fishes, he will show you a way to feed thousands.
- What you call hindrances, obstacles, discouragements, are probably God's opportunities; and it is nothing new that the patient should dislike his medicines, or any certain proof that they are poisons.
