Zitate Henry Scott Holland

„Spiele, lächle, denke an mich, bete für mich. [.. ] Das Leben bedeutet all das, was es bisher bedeutete. Es ist das gleiche wie es immer war. Da ist eine absolute und ununterbrochene Kontinuität. [.. ] Alles ist gut. Nichts ist beschädigt, nichts ist verloren. Ein kurzer Moment und alles wird so sein wie es vorher war.“

— Henry Scott Holland, The King of Terrors

aus der Predigt "The King of Terrors" vom 15. Mai 1910. Die deutsche Übersetzung des Zitats wird oft fälschlich Annette von Droste-Hülshoff zugeschrieben.
Original engl.: "Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. [..] Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. [..] All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before." engl. wikisource

„Do we suppose Jesus Christ laid His blessing on this unholy poverty? Do we really imagine that this is what He had in His eye, as He pronounced the benediction? Nay! This is the Poverty which blights and curses. This is the Poverty which God hates. This is the Poverty which is an outrage on man, and an insult to God. Far from accepting it as a preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven, we have, in the name of that Kingdom, to demand that it be swept off the face of the earth and be never again seen.“

Our Neighbors (1911)

„We have, in our Slum Cities, manufactured a Poverty which, instead of bracing and disciplining our manhood into higher service, tends only to maim and stunt and discredit and degrade it.“
