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
Gaiety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Neutral men are the devil's allies.
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
There is such a thing as honest pride and self-respect.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
It is a mistake to consider marriage merely as a scheme of happiness. It is also a bond of service. It is the most ancient form of that social ministration which God has ordained for all human beings, and which is symbolized by all the relations of nature.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is poetry it is the grandest poetry.
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
It is not death to have the body called back to the earth, and dissolved into its kindred elements, and mouldered to dust, and, it may be, turn to daisies, in the grave. But it is death to have the soul paralyzed, its inner life quenched, its faculties dissipated that is death.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Do not judge from mere appearances.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie. It rots a land and corrupts a people like any other lie, and by and by the white light of God's truth shines clear through it, and shows it to be a lie.
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
The best answer to all objections urged against prayer is the fact that man cannot help praying for we may be sure that that which is so spontaneous and ineradicable in human nature has its fitting objects and methods in the arrangements of a boundless Providence.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
We do not compromise our own faith by admitting the honesty of another's doubt.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The gospel has but a forced alliance with war. Its doctrine of human brotherhood would ring strangely between the opposed ranks. The bellowing speech of cartoon and the baptism of blood mock its liturgies and sacraments. Its gentle beatitudes would hardly serve as mottoes for defiant banners, nor its list of graces as names for ships-of-the-line.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Morality is but the vestibule of religion.
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
There is no happiness in life, there is no misery like that growing out of the dispositions which consecrate or desecrate a home.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The weak sinews become strong by their conflict with difficulties.
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
Many a man who might walk over burning ploughshares into heaven stumbles from the path because there is gravel in his shoes.
