Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Heaven never defaults. The wicked are sure of their wages, sooner or later.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The worst effect of sin is within and is manifest not in poverty, and pain, and bodily defacement, but in the discrowned faculties, the unworthy love, the low ideal, the brutalized and enslaved spirit.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Home is the seminary of all other institutions.
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
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
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.
