Image
No one can truly see Christ, and drink in the influence of his character, and not be a Christian at heart.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Munificent nature follows the methods of the divine and true, and rounds all things to her perfect law. While nations are convulsed with blood and violence, how quietly the grass grows.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
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
Image
Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
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
Image
We may learn by practice such things upon earth as shall be of use to us in heaven. Piety, unostentatious piety, is never out of place.

Image
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.

Image
Profaneness is a brutal vice. He who indulges in it is no gentleman, I care not what his stamp may be in society I care not what clothes he wears, or what culture he boasts.

Image
If one's conscience be dead as a stone, it is as heavy too.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Truth is the root, but human sympathy is the flower of practical life.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
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
Image
It is a great thing, when our Gethsemane hours come, when the cup of bitterness is pressed to our lips ... to feel that it is not fate, that it is not necessity, but divine love for good ends working upon us.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
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.

Image
Many a man who might walk over burning ploughshares into heaven stumbles from the path because there is gravel in his shoes.

Image
As for environments, the kingliest being ever born in the flesh lay in a manger.
