More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Liberty is an old fact it has had its heroes and its martyrs in almost every age. As I look back through the vista of centuries, I can see no end of the ranks of those who have toiled and suffered in its cause, and who wear upon their breasts its stars of the legion of honor.
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
Down below all the crust of human conceptions, of human ideas, Christ sank an artesian well into a source of happiness so pure and blessed that even yet the world does not believe in it.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
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
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
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
It is those who make the least display of their sorrow who mourn the deepest.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Whatever you truly conceive of in the mind, is possible.
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
To me there is something thrilling and exalting in the thought that we are drifting forward into a splendid mystery-into something that no mortal eye hath yet seen, and no intelligence has yet declared.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
For soon, very soon do men forget Their friends upon whom Death's seal is set.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The sluices of the grog-shop are fed from the wine-glasses in the parlor, and there is a lineal descent from the gentleman who hiccoughs at his elegant dinner-table to the sot who makes a bed of the gutter.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There are daily martyrdoms occurring of more or less self-abnegation, and of which the world knows nothing.
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
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
Our life is what we make it. An insignificant game or a noble trial a dream or a reality a play of the senses worn out in selfish use, and flying swifter than a weaver's shuttle, or an ascension of the soul, by daily duties and unfaltering faith, to more spiritual relations and to loftier toils.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Through every rift of discovery some seeming anomaly drops out of the darkness, and falls, as a golden link into the great chain of order.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A life is black, whiten it as you will.
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.
