Edwin Hubbel Chapin quotes
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.
Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.
Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.
Neutral men are the devil's allies.
Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it forgoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury.
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite.
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
The essence of justice is mercy.
Tribulation will not hurt you, unless as it too often does; it hardens you and makes you sour, narrow and skeptical.
