More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Home is the seminary of all other institutions.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Physically, man is but an atom in space, and a pulsation in time. Spiritually, the entire outward universe receives significance from him, and the scope of his existence stretches beyond the stars.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
All evil, in fact the very existence of evil, is inexplicable until we refer to the paternity of God. It hangs a huge blot in the universe until the orb of divine love rises behind it. In that apposition we detect its meaning. It appears to us but a finite shadow as it passes across the disk of infinite light.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
It is those who make the least display of their sorrow who mourn the deepest.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The temptation is not here, where you are reading about it or praying about it. It is down in your shop, among bales and boxes, ten-penny nails, and sand-paper.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
When I contrast the loving Jesus, comprehending all things in his ample and tender charity, with those who profess to bear his name, marking their zeal by what they do not love, it seems to me as though men, like the witches of old, had read the Bible backward, and had taken incantations out of it for evil, rather than inspiration for good.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
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.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Life itself suggests a higher good than life itself can yield.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There must be something beyond man in this world. Even on attaining to his highest possibilities, he is like a bird beating against his cage. There is something beyond, O deathless like a sea-shell, moaning for the bosom of the ocean to which you belong!
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
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.
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
No man knows the genuineness of his convictions until he has sacrificed something for them.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
As for environments, the kingliest being ever born in the flesh lay in a manger.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Heaven never defaults. The wicked are sure of their wages, sooner or later.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The best answer to all objections urged against prayer is the fact that man cannot help praying for we may be sure that that which is so spontaneous and ineradicable in human nature has its fitting objects and methods in the arrangements of a boundless Providence.
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
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
Whatever you truly conceive of in the mind, is possible.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Swift calls discretion low prudence it is high prudence, and one of the most important elements entering into either social or political life.
