Image
A great many men - some comparatively small men now - if put in the right position, would be Luthers and Columbuses.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
How much in this world is charged to chance or fortune, or veiled under a more devout name, and accorded to Providence while, when we come to look honestly into affairs, we find it to be a debt of our own accumulation, and one which we must inevitably pay.

A life is black, whiten it as you will.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
The unmerciful man is most certainly an unblessed man. His sympathies are all dried up he is afflicted with a chronic jaundice, and lives timidly and darkly in a little, narrow rat-hole of distrust.

Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
To me there is something thrilling and exalting in the thought that we are drifting forward into a splendid mystery-into something that no mortal eye hath yet seen, and no intelligence has yet declared.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Earth has scarcely an acre that does not remind us of actions that have long preceded our own, and its clustering tombstones loom up like reefs of the eternal shore, to show us where so many human barks have struck and gone down.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Swift calls discretion low prudence it is high prudence, and one of the most important elements entering into either social or political life.

Image
As for environments, the kingliest being ever born in the flesh lay in a manger.

Image
Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So a man sometimes covers up the entire disk of eternity with a dollar, and quenches transcendent glories with a little shining dust.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Liberty is an old fact it has had its heroes and its martyrs in almost every age. As I look back through the vista of centuries, I can see no end of the ranks of those who have toiled and suffered in its cause, and who wear upon their breasts its stars of the legion of honor.
