Quotes by Henry Law

If you stood alone, it would be presumption to hope. Because you are not alone, it is offence to tremble.

Henry Law

Eternity will be too short fully to recount His praise. Let us not shorten our joy by neglecting to begin on earth.

Henry Law

What self denial! What self abasement! What self emptying! He, whom no infinitudes can hold, is contained within infant’s age, and infant’s form. Can it be, that the great “I AM THAT I AM” shrinks into our flesh?

Henry Law

You may have wealth. It cannot profit long. You may have health. Decay will cause its flower to fade. You may have strength. It soon will totter to the grave. You may have honors. A breath will blast them. You may have flattering friends. They are but as a summer brook. These boasted joys often now cover an aching heart, but they never gave a grain of solid peace; they never healed a wounded conscience; they never won approving looks from God; they never crushed the sting of sin.
