A man's love for his native land lies deeper than any logical expression, among those pulses of the heart which vibrate to the sanctities of home, and to the thoughts which leap up from his father's graves.

More quotes by 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.

Mercy. That is the gospel. The whole of it in one word.
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
Do not ask if a man has been through college ask if a college has been through him if he is a walking university.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Our life is what we make it. An insignificant game or a noble trial a dream or a reality a play of the senses worn out in selfish use, and flying swifter than a weaver's shuttle, or an ascension of the soul, by daily duties and unfaltering faith, to more spiritual relations and to loftier toils.
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
As for environments, the kingliest being ever born in the flesh lay in a manger.

A man can no more be a Christian without facing evil and conquering it than he can be a soldier without going to battle, facing the cannon's mouth, and encountering the enemy in the field.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The church-bells of innumerable sects are all chime-bells to-day, ringing in sweet accordance throughout many lands, and awaking a great joy in the heart of our common humanity.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A life is black, whiten it as you will.
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
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
Pure felicity is reserved for the heavenly life it grows not in an earthly soil.
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
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
The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.
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 language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Modest expression is a beautiful setting to the diamond of talent and genius.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair.
