More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
We have not the innocence of Eden but by God's help and Christ's example we may have the victory of Gethsemane.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Certainly, truth should be strenuous and bold but the strongest things are not always the noisiest, as any one may see who compares scolding with logic.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The productions of the press, fast as steam can make and carry them, go abroad through all the land, silent as snowflakes, but potent as thunder. It is an additional tongue of steam and lightning, by which a man speaks his first thought, his instant argument or grievance, to millions in a day.
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
Morality is but the vestibule of religion.
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
Whatever you truly conceive of in the mind, is possible.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Life itself suggests a higher good than life itself can yield.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Heaven never defaults. The wicked are sure of their wages, sooner or later.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are.

Mercy. That is the gospel. The whole of it in one word.
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
Humanity is so constituted that the basest criminal represents you and me, as well as the most glorious saint that walks on high. We are reflected in all other men all other men are embodied in us.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Home is the seminary of all other institutions. There are the roots of all public prosperity, the foundations of the State, the germs of the church. There is all that in the child makes the future man all that in the man makes the good citizen.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Home is the seminary of all other institutions.

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
O, how much those men are to be valued who, in the spirit with which the widow gave up her two mites, have given up themselves! How their names sparkle! How rich their very ashes are! How they will count up in heaven!
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
A great many men - some comparatively small men now - if put in the right position, would be Luthers and Columbuses.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
There is such a thing as honest pride and self-respect.
