Alexander MacLaren Doe Quotations

There can be no faith so feeble that Christ does not respond to it.

He that has his trust set upon God does not need to dread anything except the weakening or the paralyzing of that trust.

Kindness does not require us to be blind to facts or to live in fancies, but it does require us to cherish a habit of goodwill, ready to show pity if sorrow appears, and slow to turn away even if hostility appears.

God gives us power to bear all the sorrows of His making; but He does not give us power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is.

That is faith, cleaving to Christ, twining round Him with all the tendrils of our heart, as the vine does round its support.

Here is the manliness of manhood, that a man has a good reason for what he does, and has a will in doing it.
