Augustine of Hippo used to say that, but for God's grace, he should have been capable of committing any crime; and it is when we feel this sincerely, that we are most likely to be really improving, and best able… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
Truth has her sterner responsibilities sooner or later in store for those who have known anything about her. — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
Let us think today of the prospect of sharing in a sublime and blessed existence such as is portrayed in the text of the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
So long as men die, life will reassert its tragic interest from time to time with fresh energy, and to this interest Christianity alone can respond. If the scientific people could rid us of death, they might indeed hope to win over the heart and conscience of the world, permanently, to some form of non-theistic speculation. As it is, the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
Worship is the earthly act by which we most distinctly recognize our personal immortality; men who think that they will be extinct a few years hence do not pray.

It is some disaster for any mind to hold any one thing for truth that is untrue, however insignificant it be, or however honestly it be held. It is a greater disaster when the false prejudice bars the way to some truth behind it, which, but for it, would find an entrance to the soul; and the greatness of the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
Useful knowledge, practical kindness, and beneficent laws -- these are not the Gospel; but, like philosophy, they are, or may be, its handmaids. They… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
Again and again the Church of Christ has been all but engulfed, as men might have deemed, in the billows; again and again the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
I get some very fierce anonymous letters about the Athanasian Creed, which would amuse you, if they were not so sad as to what they imply on the part of the writers. The last tells me that I am a Pharisee, and should have helped to crucify our Lord. It is very odd that people should think, much more write,… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
