Whatever you may suffer, speak the truth. Be worthy of the entire confidence of your associates. Consider what is right as to what must be done. It is not necessary that you should keep your property, or even your life, but it is necessary that you should hold fast your integrity.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Great effort from great motives is the best definition of a happy life

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Perhaps in our presence, the ...

Perhaps in our presence, the most heroic deed on earth is done in some silent spirit, the loftiest purpose cherished, the most generous sacrifice made, and we do not suspect it. I believe this greatness to be most common among the multitude, whose names are never heard.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Books are true levelers. They give to all, who will faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

To do God's will as fast as i...

To do God's will as fast as it is made known to us, to inquire hourly -- I had almost said each moment -- what He requires of us, and to leave ourselves, our friends, and every interest at His control, with a cheerful trust that the path which He marks out leads to our perfection and to Himself, -- this is at once our duty and happiness; and why will we not walk in the plain, simple way?.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The spirit of liberty is not ...

The spirit of liberty is not merely, as multitudes imagine, a jealousy of our own particular rights, but a respect for the rights of others, and an unwillingness that any man, whether high or low, should be wronged and trampled under foot.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The sin that now rises to mem...

The sin that now rises to memory as your bosom sin, let this first of all be withstood and mastered. Oppose it instantly by a detestation of it, by a firm will to conquer it, by reflection, by reason, and by prayer.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The best books for a man are n...

The best books for a man are not always those which the wise recommend, but often those which meet the peculiar wants, the natural thirst of his mind, and therefore awaken interest and rivet thought.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The mind, in proportion as it ...

The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Life has a higher end, than to...

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Difficulties are meant to rous...

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The office of government is no...

The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Great minds are to make others...

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 166 quotes

The home is the chief school of human virtues.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The great hope of society is in individual character.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

No power in society, no hardsh...

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 166 quotes

God is another name for human ...

God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Every mind was made for growth...

Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

It is not the quantity but the...

It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

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