More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Whatever you truly conceive of in the mind, is possible.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The weak sinews become strong by their conflict with difficulties.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Christ saw much in this world to weep over, and much to pray over: but he saw nothing in it to look upon with contempt.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A great many men - some comparatively small men now - if put in the right position, would be Luthers and Columbuses.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is the root, but human sympathy is the flower of practical life.
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
Public feeling now is apt to side with the persecuted, and our modern martyr is full as likely to be smothered with roses as with coals.
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
Setting is preliminary to brighter rising decay is a process of advancement death is the condition of higher and more fruitful life.
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
It is those who make the least display of their sorrow who mourn the deepest.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Humanity is so constituted that the basest criminal represents you and me, as well as the most glorious saint that walks on high. We are reflected in all other men all other men are embodied in us.
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
It is the penalty of fame that a man must ever keep rising. Get a reputation, and then go to bed, is the absurdest of all maxims. Keep up a reputation or go to bed, would be nearer the truth.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is less misery in being cheated than in that kind of wisdom which perceives, or thinks it perceives, that all mankind are cheats.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Life is a problem. Not merely a premiss from which we start, but a goal towards which we proceed. It is an opportunity for us not merely to get, but to attain not simply to have, but to be. Its standard of failure or success is not outward fortune, but inward possession.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Modest expression is a beautiful setting to the diamond of talent and genius.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Death, is not an end, but a transition crisis. All the forms of decay are but masks of regeneration--the secret alembics of vitality.
