More quotes by William Ellery Channing
Another powerful principle of our nature, which is the spring of war, is the passion for superiority, for triumph, for power. The human mind is aspiring, impatient of inferiority, and eager for preeminence and control.
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
Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost.
William Ellery Channing
No punishment is so terrible as prosperous guilt.
William Ellery Channing
Men are never very wise and select in the exercise of a new power.
William Ellery Channing
Other blessings may be taken away, but if we have acquired a good friend by goodness, we have a blessing which improves in value when others fail.
William Ellery Channing
Mistakes and errors are the discipline through which we advance.
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
O God, animate us to cheerfulness! May we have a joyful sense of our blessings, learn to look on the bright circumstances of our lot, and maintain a perpetual contentedness
William Ellery Channing
Natural amiableness is too often seen in company with sloth, with uselessness, with the vanity of fashionable life.
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
Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influence to exert, which are peculiarly his, and which no conscience but his own can teach.
William Ellery Channing
A clear thought, a pure affection, a resolute act of a virtuous will, have a dignity of quite another kind, and far higher than accumulations of brick and granite and plaster and stucco, however cunningly put together.
William Ellery Channing
We must not waste life in devising means. It is better to plan less and do more.
William Ellery Channing
God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.
William Ellery Channing
Home - the nursery of the Infinite.
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
No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.
William Ellery Channing
All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene
William Ellery Channing
A man in earnest finds means or, if he cannot find, creates them.
William Ellery Channing
