← All quotes by Frederick William Faber

3 quotes

A spiritual life without a very large allowance of disquietude in it is no spiritual life at all. It is but a flattering superstition of self-love.

Spiritual Conferences (1859)

O Paradise! O Paradise!
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold?

Hymns (1871)

O Paradise! O Paradise!
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land,
Where they that love are blest?

Hymns (1871)
