More quotes by William Ellery Channing
Every human being is intended to have a character of his own to be what no others are, and to do what no other can do.
William Ellery Channing
The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.
William Ellery Channing
Home - the nursery of the Infinite.
William Ellery Channing
The hills are reared, the seas are scooped in vain If learning's altar vanish from the plain.
William Ellery Channing
Did any man at his death ever regret his conflicts with himself, his victories over appetite, his scorn of impure pleasure, or his sufferings for righteousness' sake?
William Ellery Channing
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
William Ellery Channing
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.
William Ellery Channing
War is to be ranked among the most dreadful calamities which fall on a guilty world and, what deserves consideration, it tends to multiply and perpetuate itself without end. It feeds and grows on the blood which it sheds. The passions, from which it springs, gain strength and fury from indulgence.
William Ellery Channing
I call that mind free which jealously guards its intellectual rights and powers, which calls no man master, which does not content itself with a passive or hereditary faith, which opens itself to light whencesoever it may come, which receives new truth as an angel from Heaven.
William Ellery Channing
Labor is discovered to be the grand conqueror, enriching and building up nations more surely than the proudest battles.
William Ellery Channing
What a sublime doctrine it is, that goodness cherished now is eternal life already entered on!
William Ellery Channing
Influence is to be measured, not by the extent of surface it covers, but by its kind.
William Ellery Channing
I call that mind free which protects itself against the usurpations of society, and which does not cower to human opinion: Which refuses to be the slave or tool of the many or of the few, and guards its empire over itself as nobler than the empire of the world.
William Ellery Channing
He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effect when the weaving of a life-time is unraveled.
William Ellery Channing
No punishment is so terrible as prosperous guilt.
William Ellery Channing
Reading is the royal road to intellectual eminence...Truly good books are more than mines to those who can understand them. They are the breathings of the great souls of past times. Genius is not embalmed in them, but lives in them perpetually.
William Ellery Channing
The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.
William Ellery Channing
An earnest purpose finds time, or makes it. It seizes on spare moments, and turns fragments to golden account.
William Ellery Channing
God deliver us all from prejudice and unkindness, and fill us with the love of truth and virtue.
William Ellery Channing
No one should part with their individuality and become that of another.
