More quotes by William Ellery Channing
I laugh, for hope hath a happy place with me If my boat sinks, 'tis to another sea.
William Ellery Channing
Knowledge is essential to freedom.
William Ellery Channing
Grandeur of character lies wholly in force of soul, that is, in the force of thought, moral principle, and love, and this may be found in the humblest condition of life
William Ellery Channing
Health is the working man's fortune, and he ought to watch over it more than the capitalist over his largest investments. Health lightens the efforts of body and mind. It enables a man to crowd much work into a narrow compass. Without it, little can be earned, and that little by slow, exhausting toil.
William Ellery Channing
Our affections are our life. We live by them they supply our warmth.
William Ellery Channing
Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie.

William Ellery Channing

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
It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.
William Ellery Channing
All that we do outwardly is but the expression and completion of our inward thought. To work effectively, we must think clearly to act nobly, we must think nobly.
William Ellery Channing
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
William Ellery Channing
Undoubtedly a man is to labor to better his condition, but first to better himself.
William Ellery Channing
One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.
William Ellery Channing
All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene
