Inspirational Quotes by Henry Drummond
“Try to see the world as a great education in Love and do not quarrel with your lot in life. Do not complain because of your unending cares and anxieties, your mean surroundings, the small and sordid souls you are obliged to live with. That is God’s way of making you practise.”
“Do you know the meaning of the word ‘gentleman’? It means someone who does things gently. That is the whole art and mystery of Love.”
“la única forma de escapar de la envidia es concentrando las fuerzas en el Amor.”
“En vez de envidiar, debemos admirar al alma grande, rica y generosa de aquellos que conocen un Amor que “no se consume en celos”.”
“Paciencia. Bondad. Generosidad. Humildad. Delicadeza. Entrega. Tolerancia. Inocencia. Sinceridad. Esas son las cosas que componen el bien supremo; están en el alma del hombre que desea estar presente en el mundo y cercano a Dios. Todos esos dones están relacionados con nosotros, con nuestra vida diaria, con el hoy y con el mañana, con la eternidad. Siempre escuchamos hablar mucho del Amor a Dios. Pero Cristo nos habla del Amor al hombre. Buscamos la paz en los Cielos. Cristo busca la paz en la Tierra.”
“Stephen Grellet wrote: ‘I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
“¿Sabes qué quiere decir “noble”? Significa alguien que actúa de manera digna. Ese es el misterio del Amor.”

“The supposed compatibility of virtue and bad temper is one of the saddest problems afflicting humanity and society.”
“¿Por qué el Amor es más importante que la Caridad? Porque la Caridad es apenas una de las manifestaciones del Amor.”
“¿Buscas grandes cosas en tu vida?” pregunta el profeta. “No las busques.” ¿Por qué? Porque no existe grandeza en las cosas. Las cosas no pueden ser más grandes que ellas mismas. La única grandeza que existe es la entrega proporcionada por el Amor.”
“Sinceridad: “no se alegra con la injusticia, sino que se regocija con la verdad.”

Henry Drummond (1851 - 1897)
Was a Scottish evangelist, writer and lecturer. Drummond was born in Stirling. He was educated at Edinburgh University, where he displayed a strong inclination for physical and mathematical science. The religious element was an even more powerful factor in his nature, and disposed him to enter the Free Church of Scotland. While preparing for the ministry, he became for a time deeply interested in the evangelizing mission of Moody and Sankey, in which he actively co-operated for two years.In 1877 he became lecturer on natural science in the Free Church College, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he felt a vocation. His studies resulted in his writing Natural Law in the Spiritual World, the argument of which is that the scientific principle of continuity extends from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the book was published in 1883, an invitation from the African Lakes Company drew Drummond away to Central Africa.
Henry Drummond, English banker, politician and writer, best known as one of the founders of the Catholic Apostolic or Irvingite Church, was born at the Grange, near Alresford, Hampshire.
He entered Parliament in 1810, and took an active interest from the first in nearly all departments of politics. Thoroughly independent and often eccentric in his views, he yet acted generally with the Conservative party. His speeches were often almost inaudible but were generally lucid and informing, and on occasion caustic and severe.
From 1847 until his death he represented West Surrey in parliament. Drummond took a deep interest in religious subjects, and published numerous books and pamphlets on such questions as the interpretation of prophecy, the circulation of the Apocrypha and the principles of Christianity. These attracted considerable attention.
Drummond was educated at Edinburgh University, where he displayed a strong inclination for physical and mathematical science. The religious element was an even more powerful factor in his nature, and disposed him to enter the Free Church of Scotland. While preparing for the ministry, he became for a time deeply interested in the evangelizing mission of Moody and Sankey, in which he actively cooperated for two years. In 1877 he became lecturer on natural science in the Free Church College, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he felt a vocation. His studies resulted in his writing Natural Law in the Spiritual World, the argument of which was that the scientific principle of continuity extended from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the book issued from the press (1883), a sudden invitation from the African Lakes Company drew Drummond away to Central Africa.
Upon his return in the following year he found himself famous. Large bodies of serious readers, alike among the religious and the scientific classes, discovered in Natural Law the common standing-ground which they needed; and the universality of the demand proved, if nothing more, the seasonableness of its publication. Drummond continued to be actively interested in missionary and other movements among the Free Church students.
In 1888 he published Tropical Africa, a valuable digest of information. In 1890 he traveled in Australia, and in 1893 delivered the Lowell Lectures at Boston. Drummond's health failed shortly afterwards, and he died on the 11th of March 1897.
