Collected Quotations

“We send our children to school, they are not allowed to think; they are simply crammed and crammed.”

R. A. Torrey, The Voice of God in the Present Hour (1917)

“I have seen very dull minds become keen by holding them right down to the grindstone.”

R. A. Torrey, Methods of Bible Study

“How eagerly and persistently we seek a little admiration and praise from men. How gladly we accept it when it comes. How we treasure the fine things that are said about us in newspapers or in books. Let us have done with it! Let us so utterly love God that His approval is all we care for and all we will accept.”

R. A. Torrey, The Real Christ

“The human mind has been expanding for more that eighteen centuries since Jesus Christ spoke here on earth, but it has not outgrown Him.”

R. A. Torrey, The Voice of God in the Present Hour
