Phillips Brooks Children Quotations

Christianity knows no truth which is not the child of love and the parent of duty.

Those who help a child help humanity with an immediateness which no other help given to human creature in any other stage of human life can possibly give again.

Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.

For the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all; No palace too great, no cottage too small.

It is God's world still. It has been given to man not absolutely, but in trust, that man may work out in it the will of God; given-may we not say?-just as a father gives a child a corner of his great garden, and says, "There, that is yours; now cultivate it."
