More quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Whatever you truly conceive of in the mind, is possible.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The true Church is not an institution to be kept apart from the world because the world is common and unclean, but a vital heart of truth and love, beating with the life of Jesus, and sending abroad its sanctifying pulsations until nothing shall be common and unclean.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
For soon, very soon do men forget Their friends upon whom Death's seal is set.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Mercy. That is the gospel. The whole of it in one word.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
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.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
We do not compromise our own faith by admitting the honesty of another's doubt.
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.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A life is black, whiten it as you will.
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
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 best men are not those who have waited for chances but who have taken them besieged the chance conquered the chance and made chance the servitor.
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
Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Truth is the root, but human sympathy is the flower of practical life.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
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.
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
All natural results are spontaneous. The diamond sparkles without effort, and the flowers open impulsively beneath the summer rain. And true religion is a spontaneous thing,--as natural as it is to weep, to love, or to rejoice.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The sluices of the grog-shop are fed from the wine-glasses in the parlor, and there is a lineal descent from the gentleman who hiccoughs at his elegant dinner-table to the sot who makes a bed of the gutter.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Goodness consists not in the outward things we do, but in the inward thing we are.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
As for environments, the kingliest being ever born in the flesh lay in a manger.
