It takes something of a poet to apprehend and get into the depth, the lusciousness, the spiritual life of a great poem. And so we must be in some way like God in order that we may see God as He is.

More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There must be something beyond man in this world. Even on attaining to his highest possibilities, he is like a bird beating against his cage. There is something beyond, O deathless like a sea-shell, moaning for the bosom of the ocean to which you belong!
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
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
Death, is not an end, but a transition crisis. All the forms of decay are but masks of regeneration--the secret alembics of vitality.
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 way to overcome evil is to love something that is good.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Labor, with its coarse raiment and its bare right arm, has gone forth in the earth, achieving the truest conquests and rearing the most durable monuments. It has opened the domain of matter and the empire of the mind. The wild beast has fled before it, and the wilderness has fallen back.... its triumphal march is the progress of civilization.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Swift calls discretion low prudence it is high prudence, and one of the most important elements entering into either social or political life.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Do not judge from mere appearances.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
As for environments, the kingliest being ever born in the flesh lay in a manger.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Nature satisfies my thirst it feeds my hunger it finds me clothing it affords me shelter it wraps me around when I sleep with beneficent and watchful care and it takes me at last to its great bosom, where my ashes mingle with their kindred dust.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
In the history of man it has been very generally the case that when evils have grown insufferable they have touched the point of cure.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Those old ages are like the landscape that shows best in purple distance, all verdant and smooth, and bathed in mellow light.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is the root, but human sympathy is the flower of practical life.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
For soon, very soon do men forget Their friends upon whom Death's seal is set.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No man knows the genuineness of his convictions until he has sacrificed something for them.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
When I contrast the loving Jesus, comprehending all things in his ample and tender charity, with those who profess to bear his name, marking their zeal by what they do not love, it seems to me as though men, like the witches of old, had read the Bible backward, and had taken incantations out of it for evil, rather than inspiration for good.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
