Whatever the place allocated us by providence, that is for us the post of honor and duty. – God estimates us not by the position we are in, but by the way in which we fill it.

More quotes by Tryon Edwards

Hell is truth seen too late — duty neglected in its season.

People never improve unless they look to some standard or example higher and better than themselves.

Contemplation is to knowledge, what digestion is to food – the way to get life out of it.

Facts are God’s arguments : we should be careful never to misunderstand or pervert them.

We never do evil so thoroughly and heartily as when led to it by an honest but perverted, because mistaken, conscience.
