James Martineau Quotes About Glory

Quotes about: Glory

• Human character is never found "to enter into its glory," except through the ordeal of affliction. Its force cannot come forth without the offer of resistance, nor can the grandeur of its free will declare itself, except in the battle of fierce temptation.

  James Martineau

  Character, Temptation, Battle

  James Martineau (1879). “Hours of thought on sacred things, sermons”

• To Him let us but cleave in all ouv strife; and the Tempte1 will flee; the wilderness will be desolate no more; angels will come and minister unto us; and when we pass from them to the ministry of life, be it to the glory of a transfiguration, the sorrows of a Gethsemane, or the sacrifice of the cross, the tran- quilizing peace of God will never be far from us.

  James Martineau

  Angel, Sacrifice, Sorrow

• Nothing less than the majesty of God, and the powers of the world to come, can maintain the peace and sanctity of our homes, the order and serenity of our minds, the spirit of patience and tender mercy in our hearts. Then will even the merest drudgery of duty cease to humble us, when we transfigure it by the glory of our own spirit.

  James Martineau

  Home, Heart, Humble

  James Martineau (1844). “Endeavors After the Christian Life: A Volume of Discourses”, p.37
