Peter Marshall Quotes

Best Quotes by Peter Marshall (Top 10)

  1. When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.
  2. Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.
  3. May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
  4. God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.
  5. A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.
  6. Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with.
  7. You are leaving port under sealed orders and in a troubled period. You cannot know whither you are going or what you are to do. But why not take the Pilot on board who knows the nature of your sealed orders from the outset, and who will shape your entire voyage accordingly? He knows the shoals and the sand banks, the rocks and the reefs, He will steer you safely into that celestial harbor where your anchor will be cast for eternity. Let His almighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe.
  8. Most of us know perfectly well what we ought to do; our trouble is that we do not want to do it.
  9. No tabloid will ever print the startling news that the mummified body of Jesus of Nazareth has been discovered in old Jerusalem. Christians have no carefully embalmed body enclosed in a glass case to worship. Thank God, we have an empty tomb. The glorious fact that the empty tomb proclaims to us is that life for us does not stop when death comes. Death is not a wall, but a door.
  10. The modern challenge to motherhood is the eternal challenge—that of being a godly woman. The very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it now. We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom to we hear of a godly woman—or of a godly man either, for that matter. I believe women come nearer to fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else.
