More quotes by William Ellery Channing
War will never yield but to the principles of universal justice and love, and these have no sure root but in the religion of Jesus Christ.
William Ellery Channing
The great hope of society is in individual character
William Ellery Channing
The chief evil of war is more evil. War is the concentration of all human crimes. Here is its distinguishing, accursed brand. Under its standard gather violence, malignity, rage, fraud, perfidy, rapacity, and lust. If it only slew man, it would do little. It turns man into a beast of prey.
William Ellery Channing
Influence is to be measured, not by the extent of surface it covers, but by its kind.
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
I am a living member of the great family of all souls.
William Ellery Channing
To give a generous hope to a man of his own nature, is to enrich him immeasurably.
William Ellery Channing
A man in earnest finds means or, if he cannot find, creates them.
William Ellery Channing
Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.
William Ellery Channing
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.
William Ellery Channing
The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts.
William Ellery Channing
Great effort from great motives is the best definition of a happy life
William Ellery Channing
My highway is unfeatured air, My consorts are the sleepless stars, And men my giant arms upbear My arms unstained and free from scars.
William Ellery Channing
Undoubtedly a man is to labor to better his condition, but first to better himself.
William Ellery Channing
Let every man, if possible, gather some good books under his roof.
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
The miracles of Christ were studiously performed in the most unostentatious way. He seemed anxious to veil His majesty under the love with which they were wrought.
William Ellery Channing
In the long run, truth is aided by nothing so much as by opposition.
William Ellery Channing
Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie.
William Ellery Channing
The sin that now rises to memory as your bosom sin, let this first of all be withstood and mastered. Oppose it instantly by a detestation of it, by a firm will to conquer it, by reflection, by reason, and by prayer.
William Ellery Channing
