Horace Bushnell on Patience

1802–1876 United States

← All quotes by Horace Bushnell

3 quotes

A true Christian man is distinguished from other men, not so much by his beneficent works, as by his patience.

It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.

Christ commands you to take up His cross and follow Him, not that He may humble you, or lay some penance upon you, but that you may surrender the low self-will and the feeble pride of your sin, and ascend into the sublime patience of heavenly charity.
