Famous Frederick William Robertson Quotes

“Do you wish to become rich? You may become rich, that is, if you desire it in no half way, but thoroughly.

Time and pains will do anything. This world is given as the prize for the men in earnest; and that which is true of this world is truer still of the world to come.”
