More quotes by 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.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Morality is but the vestibule of religion.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Labor, with its coarse raiment and its bare right arm, has gone forth in the earth, achieving the truest conquests and rearing the most durable monuments. It has opened the domain of matter and the empire of the mind. The wild beast has fled before it, and the wilderness has fallen back.... its triumphal march is the progress of civilization.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie. It rots a land and corrupts a people like any other lie, and by and by the white light of God's truth shines clear through it, and shows it to be a lie.
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
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
A true man never frets about his place in the world, but just slides into it by the gravitation of his nature, and swings there as easily as a star.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No man knows the genuineness of his convictions until he has sacrificed something for them.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant.
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
No one can truly see Christ, and drink in the influence of his character, and not be a Christian at heart.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Modest expression is a beautiful setting to the diamond of talent and genius.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The best men are not those who have waited for chances but who have taken them besieged the chance conquered the chance and made chance the servitor.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
