More quotes by Adoniram Judson Gordon

Sorrow is only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness.

Doctrine is the frame-work of life; it is the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living graces of a holy life. It is only the lean creature whose bones become offensive.

You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
