Love is the life of the soul....

Love is the life of the soul. It is the harmony of the universe.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The world is to be carried fo...

The world is to be carried forward by truth, which at first offends, which wins its way by degrees, which the many hate and would rejoice to crush.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

To give a generous hope to a ...

To give a generous hope to a man of his own nature, is to enrich him immeasurably.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Soul Gathers Force It is poss...

Soul Gathers Force It is possible, when the future is dim, when our depressed faculties can form no bright ideas of the perfection and happiness of a better world,-it is possible still to cling to the conviction of God's merciful purpose towards His creatures, of His parental goodness even in suffering, still to feel that the path of duty, though trodden with a heavy heart, leads to peace.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

We must not waste life in dev...

We must not waste life in devising means. It is better to plan less and do more.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

In general, we do well to let...

In general, we do well to let an opponent's motives alone. We are seldom just to them. Our own motives on such occasions are often worse than those we assail.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

All virtue lies in individual...

All virtue lies in individual action, in inward energy, in self determination. There is no moral worth in being swept away by a crowd even toward the best objective.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Others are affected by what I...

Others are affected by what I am, and say, and do. So that a single act of mine may spread and spread in widening circles, through a nation or humanity. Through my vice I intensify the taint of vice throughout the universe. Through my misery I make multitudes sad. On the other hand, every development of my virtue makes me an ampler blessing to my race. Every new truth that I gain makes me a brighter light to humanity.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy the intercourse with superior minds.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Poetry reveals to us the love...

Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The chief evil of war is more...

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 166 quotes

I call that mind free which j...

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 166 quotes

All that we do outwardly is b...

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 166 quotes

No man receives the full cult...

No man receives the full culture of a man in whom the sensibility to the beautiful is not cherished; and there is no condition of life from which it should be excluded. Of all luxuries this is the cheapest, and the most at hand, and most important to those conditions where coarse labor tends to give grossness to the mind.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Grandeur of character lies wh...

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 166 quotes

To be prosperous is not to be...

To be prosperous is not to be superior, and should form no barrier between men. Wealth out not to secure the prosperous the slightest consideration. The only distinctions which should be recognized are those of the soul, of strong principle, of incorruptible integrity, of usefulness, of cultivated intellect, of fidelity in seeking the truth.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

I am a living member of the great family of all souls.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The domestic relations preced...

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 166 quotes

The only freedom worth posses...

The only freedom worth possessing is that which gives enlargement to a people's energy, intellect, and virtues.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Precept is instruction writte...

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.
