More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Home is the seminary of all other institutions.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
We have not the innocence of Eden but by God's help and Christ's example we may have the victory of Gethsemane.
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
Setting is preliminary to brighter rising decay is a process of advancement death is the condition of higher and more fruitful life.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There are interests by the sacrifice of which peace is too dearly purchased. One should never be at peace to the shame of his own soul--to the violation of his integrity or of his allegiance to God.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
All natural results are spontaneous. The diamond sparkles without effort, and the flowers open impulsively beneath the summer rain. And true religion is a spontaneous thing,--as natural as it is to weep, to love, or to rejoice.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A great many men - some comparatively small men now - if put in the right position, would be Luthers and Columbuses.
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
Neutral men are the devil's allies.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Character has more effect than anything else. Let a number of loud-talking men take up a particular question, and one man of character, of known integrity and beauty of soul, will outweigh them all in his influence.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
It is not death to have the body called back to the earth, and dissolved into its kindred elements, and mouldered to dust, and, it may be, turn to daisies, in the grave. But it is death to have the soul paralyzed, its inner life quenched, its faculties dissipated that is death.
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
For soon, very soon do men forget Their friends upon whom Death's seal is set.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
How much in this world is charged to chance or fortune, or veiled under a more devout name, and accorded to Providence while, when we come to look honestly into affairs, we find it to be a debt of our own accumulation, and one which we must inevitably pay.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The way to overcome evil is to love something that is good.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The wild bird that flies so lone and far has somewhere its nest and brood. A little fluttering heart of love impels its wings, and points its course. There is nothing so solitary as a solitary man.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The brightest crowns that are worn in heaven have been tried, and smelted, and polished and glorified through the furnaces of tribulation.
