Quotes by Charles S. Brooks

“Perhaps I had better explain,” Mrs. Wiggins interrupted. “As Charles says, it’s those rats again, Simon and his gang.” And she quickly outlined the situation. “And now,” she said, “I want to remind you that once, several””

“You’re a worse talker than Charles, when you get started,” interrupted Mrs. Wiggins. “Anyhow, you’re going, so pick up that flag. As for being afraid, you aren’t any scareder than I am, and that’s the truth. But we can’t either of us back out”

“It’s funny how something always seems to interrupt Charles’s speeches,” said Mrs. Wiggins to Freddy.””

“Now, now,” put in Mrs. Wiggins good-naturedly, “one thing at a time. Are we discussing Charles’ shortcomings as a husband, or Jinx’s shortcomings as a guardian? What was this business, Jinx? You’ve got something important to tell us, I know.” “Yes, if you’ll let me tell it,” said Jinx grumpily.””

“It tickles me every time I see ’em,” said Mrs. Wiggins. “They’re nice boys, and as good as gold, all three of ’em. Even Bertram.” “He’s only a rooster at heart,” said Jinx. “I suppose you mean he’s chicken-hearted,” said the cow. “I never did like that expression. Take Charles, now. He’s no coward, except where Henrietta is concerned.””

“I certainly did,” said the cow. “I tell you, Freddy, something’s got to be done, and done quick. Let’s go have a talk with Charles. Maybe he can suggest something.””

“Why, you don’t even know who it is or what he’s done!” exclaimed Mrs. Wiggins. “Come out, now, Charles, and do your duty as you said you would when you were elected.””

“Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.””

“I will never leave thee.” Hebrews 13:5 No promise is of private interpretation. Whatever God has said to any one saint, he has said to all. When he opens a well for one, it is that all may drink. When he openeth a granary-door to give out food, there may be some one starving man who is the occasion of its being opened, but all hungry saints may come and feed too. Whether he gave the word to Abraham or to Moses, matters not, O believer; he has given it to thee as one of the covenanted seed. There is not a high blessing too lofty for thee, nor a wide mercy too extensive for thee. Lift up now thine eyes to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, for all this is thine. Climb to Pisgah’s top, and view the utmost limit of the divine promise, for the land is all thine own. There is not a brook of living water of which thou mayst not drink. If the land floweth with milk and honey, eat the honey and drink the milk, for both are thine. Be thou bold to believe, for he hath said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”In this promise, God gives to his people everything. “I will never leave thee.” Then no attribute of God can cease to be engaged for us. Is he mighty? He will show himself strong on the behalf of them that trust him. Is he love? Then with lovingkindness will he have mercy upon us. Whatever attributes may compose the character of Deity, every one of them to its fullest extent shall be engaged on our side. To put everything in one, there is nothing you can””

“February 23 MORNING “I will never leave thee.””
