More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The gospel has but a forced alliance with war. Its doctrine of human brotherhood would ring strangely between the opposed ranks. The bellowing speech of cartoon and the baptism of blood mock its liturgies and sacraments. Its gentle beatitudes would hardly serve as mottoes for defiant banners, nor its list of graces as names for ships-of-the-line.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
In the history of man it has been very generally the case that when evils have grown insufferable they have touched the point of cure.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Life itself suggests a higher good than life itself can yield.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
For soon, very soon do men forget Their friends upon whom Death's seal is set.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The universe is a vast system of exchange. Every artery of it is in motion, throbbing with reciprocity, from the planet to the rotting leaf.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is such a thing as honest pride and self-respect.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Let every man be free to act from his own conscience but let him remember that other people have consciences too and let not his liberty be so expansive that in its indulgence it jars and crashes against the liberty of others.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Do not ask if a man has been through college ask if a college has been through him if he is a walking university.

God is the explanation of all things.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The individual and the race are always moving, and as we drift into new latitudes new lights open in the heaven more immediately over us.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A patient, humble temper gathers blessings that are marred by the peevish and overlooked by the aspiring.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Whatever touches the nerves of motive, whatever shifts man's moral position, is mightier than steam, or calorie, or lightening.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The true Church is not an institution to be kept apart from the world because the world is common and unclean, but a vital heart of truth and love, beating with the life of Jesus, and sending abroad its sanctifying pulsations until nothing shall be common and unclean.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Life is a problem. Not merely a premiss from which we start, but a goal towards which we proceed. It is an opportunity for us not merely to get, but to attain not simply to have, but to be. Its standard of failure or success is not outward fortune, but inward possession.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The unmerciful man is most certainly an unblessed man. His sympathies are all dried up he is afflicted with a chronic jaundice, and lives timidly and darkly in a little, narrow rat-hole of distrust.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is no happiness in life, there is no misery like that growing out of the dispositions which consecrate or desecrate a home.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is poetry it is the grandest poetry.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Labor, with its coarse raiment and its bare right arm, has gone forth in the earth, achieving the truest conquests and rearing the most durable monuments. It has opened the domain of matter and the empire of the mind. The wild beast has fled before it, and the wilderness has fallen back.... its triumphal march is the progress of civilization.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The worst effect of sin is within and is manifest not in poverty, and pain, and bodily defacement, but in the discrowned faculties, the unworthy love, the low ideal, the brutalized and enslaved spirit.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair.
