More quotes by 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
Mercy. That is the gospel. The whole of it in one word.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Edwin Hubbel Chapin
If one's conscience be dead as a stone, it is as heavy too.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Profaneness is a brutal vice. He who indulges in it is no gentleman.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The wild bird that flies so lone and far has somewhere its nest and brood. A little fluttering heart of love impels its wings, and points its course. There is nothing so solitary as a solitary man.
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
A life is black, whiten it as you will.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A day! It has risen upon us from the great deep of eternity, girt round with wonder emerging from the womb of darkness a new creation of life and light spoken into being by the word of God.
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
Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Whatever touches the nerves of motive, whatever shifts man's moral position, is mightier than steam, or calorie, or lightening.
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
All natural results are spontaneous. The diamond sparkles without effort, and the flowers open impulsively beneath the summer rain. And true religion is a spontaneous thing,--as natural as it is to weep, to love, or to rejoice.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
It is those who make the least display of their sorrow who mourn the deepest.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Do not ask if a man has been through college ask if a college has been through him if he is a walking university.
