More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Whatever may be our condition in life, it is better to lay hold of its advantages than to count its evils.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The productions of the press, fast as steam can make and carry them, go abroad through all the land, silent as snowflakes, but potent as thunder. It is an additional tongue of steam and lightning, by which a man speaks his first thought, his instant argument or grievance, to millions in a day.
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
Those old ages are like the landscape that shows best in purple distance, all verdant and smooth, and bathed in mellow light.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is such a thing as honest pride and self-respect.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No one can truly see Christ, and drink in the influence of his character, and not be a Christian at heart.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No piled-up wealth, no social station, no throne, reaches as high as that spiritual plane upon which every human being stands by virtue of his humanity.
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.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Pure felicity is reserved for the heavenly life it grows not in an earthly soil.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A day! It has risen upon us from the great deep of eternity, girt round with wonder emerging from the womb of darkness a new creation of life and light spoken into being by the word of God.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The loss of fortune to a true man is but the trumpet challenge to renewed exertion, not the thunder stroke of destruction.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is the root, but human sympathy is the flower of practical life.
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
If you should take the human heart and listen to it, it would be like listening to a sea-shell you would hear in it the hollow murmur of the infinite ocean to which it belongs, from which it draws its profoundest inspiration, and for which it yearns.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
It is a mistake to consider marriage merely as a scheme of happiness. It is also a bond of service. It is the most ancient form of that social ministration which God has ordained for all human beings, and which is symbolized by all the relations of nature.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A man's love for his native land lies deeper than any logical expression, among those pulses of the heart which vibrate to the sanctities of home, and to the thoughts which leap up from his father's graves.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A patient, humble temper gathers blessings that are marred by the peevish and overlooked by the aspiring.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
O, how much those men are to be valued who, in the spirit with which the widow gave up her two mites, have given up themselves! How their names sparkle! How rich their very ashes are! How they will count up in heaven!
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
Truth is poetry it is the grandest poetry.
