THOLUCK, Friedrich August Quotes

(1799-1877), German theologian

Age

There is not a more repulsive spectacle than an old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.

Old Age

Woe to the man who becomes old without becoming wise; woe to him if this world shuts its door without the future having opened its doors to him.

There is not a more repulsive spectacle than an old man who will not forsake the world which has already forsaken him.

Prayer

Open thy heart to God, if he be there, the outspread world will be thy book of prayer.
