More quotes by 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
Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair.
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
Whatever may be our condition in life, it is better to lay hold of its advantages than to count its evils.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
It is a mistake to consider marriage merely as a scheme of happiness. It is also a bond of service. It is the most ancient form of that social ministration which God has ordained for all human beings, and which is symbolized by all the relations of nature.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is the root, but human sympathy is the flower of practical life.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Mercy. That is the gospel. The whole of it in one word.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is such a thing as honest pride and self-respect.
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
Why, man of idleness, labor has rocked you in the cradle, and nourished your pampered life without it, the woven silk and the wool upon your bank would be in the shepherd's fold. For the meanest thing that ministers to human want, save the air of heaven, man is indebted to toil and even the air, in God's wise ordination, is breathed with labor.
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
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
Many a man who might walk over burning ploughshares into heaven stumbles from the path because there is gravel in his shoes.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The golden age is not in the past, but in the future not in the origin of human experience, but in its consummate flower not opening in Eden, but out from Gethsemane.
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
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
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
Home is the seminary of all other institutions.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Consider and act with reference to the true ends of existence. This world is but the vestibule of an immortal life. Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No one can truly see Christ, and drink in the influence of his character, and not be a Christian at heart.
