William Ellery Channing
But the ground of a man's culture lies in his nature, not in his calling. His powers are to be unfolded on account of their inherent dignity, not their outward direction. He is to be educated, because he is a man, not because he is to make shoes, nail, or pins.
William Ellery Channing

William Ellery Channing
Let us aspire towards this living confidence, that it is the will of God to unfold and exalt without end the spirit that entrusts itself to Him in well-doing as to a faithful Creator.
William Ellery Channing
It is far more important to me to preserve an unblemished conscience than to compass any object however great.
William Ellery Channing
To extinguish the free will is to strike the conscience with death, for both have but one and the same life.
William Ellery Channing
I laugh, for hope hath a happy place with me If my boat sinks, 'tis to another sea.
William Ellery Channing
The reveries of youth, in which so much energy is wasted, are the yearnings of a Spirit made for what it has not found but must forever seek as an Ideal
William Ellery Channing
Be true to your own highest convictions.
William Ellery Channing
