More quotes by 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
Home is the seminary of all other institutions. There are the roots of all public prosperity, the foundations of the State, the germs of the church. There is all that in the child makes the future man all that in the man makes the good citizen.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The brightest crowns that are worn in heaven have been tried, and smelted, and polished and glorified through the furnaces of tribulation.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No man knows the genuineness of his convictions until he has sacrificed something for them.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is such a thing as honest pride and self-respect.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is no happiness in life, there is no misery like that growing out of the dispositions which consecrate or desecrate a home.

Home is the seminary of all other institutions.
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
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
Mercy. That is the gospel. The whole of it in one word.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
God is the explanation of all things.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.
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
Whatever may be our condition in life, it is better to lay hold of its advantages than to count its evils.
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
Revolution does not insure progress. You may overturn thrones, but what proof that anything better will grow upon the soil?
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Heaven never defaults. The wicked are sure of their wages, sooner or later.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Man was sent into the world to be a growing and exhaustless force. The world was spread out around him to be seized and conquered. Realms of infinite truth burst open above him, inviting him to tread those shining coasts along which Newton dropped his plummet, and Herschel sailed,--a Columbus of the skies.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The loss of fortune to a true man is but the trumpet challenge to renewed exertion, not the thunder stroke of destruction.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Earth has scarcely an acre that does not remind us of actions that have long preceded our own, and its clustering tombstones loom up like reefs of the eternal shore, to show us where so many human barks have struck and gone down.
