More quotes by William Ellery Channing
God deliver us all from prejudice and unkindness, and fill us with the love of truth and virtue.
William Ellery Channing
Be true to your own highest convictions.
William Ellery Channing
Influence is to be measured, not by the extent of surface it covers, but by its kind.
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
A man in earnest finds means or, if he cannot find, creates them.
William Ellery Channing
Every human being is a volume, worthy to be studied.
William Ellery Channing
What a sublime doctrine it is, that goodness cherished now is eternal life already entered on!
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
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
In the long run, truth is aided by nothing so much as by opposition.
William Ellery Channing
Life is a fragment, a moment between two eternities.
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
Precept is instruction written in the sand the tide flows over it and the record is gone example is graven on the rock, and the lesson is not soon lost.
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
A man might pass for insane who should see things as they are.
William Ellery Channing
The domestic relations precede, and in our present existence are worth more than all our other social ties. They give the first throb to the heart, and unseal the deep fountains of its love. Home is the chief school of human virtue. Its responsibilities, joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes, and solicitudes form the chief interest of human life.
William Ellery Channing
Love is the life of the soul. It is the harmony of the universe.
William Ellery Channing
Mistakes and errors are the discipline through which we advance.
William Ellery Channing
Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie.
William Ellery Channing
