Every human being is a volume,...

Every human being is a volume, worthy to be studied.

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.

Be true to your own highest convictions.

Life is a fragment, a moment between two eternities.

The fewer the voices on the si...

The fewer the voices on the side of truth, the more distinct and strong must be your own.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

War will never yield but to th...

War will never yield but to the principles of universal justice and love, and these have no sure root but in the religion of Jesus Christ.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Natural amiableness is too oft...

Natural amiableness is too often seen in company with sloth, with uselessness, with the vanity of fashionable life.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

No man receives the full cultu...

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

Conscience, the sense of right...

Conscience, the sense of right, the power of perceiving moral distinctions, the power of discerning between justice and injustice, excellence and baseness, is the highest faculty given us by God, the whole foundation of our responsibility, and our sole capacity for religion. ...God, in giving us conscience, has implanted a principle within us which forbids us to prostrate ourselves before mere power, or to offer praise where we do not discover worth.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

We must not waste life in devi...

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

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

One of the tremendous evils of...

One of the tremendous evils of the world, is the monstrous accumulation of power in a few hands.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

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

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

Health is the working man's fo...

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 166 quotes

Perhaps in our presence, the m...

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

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.

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

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

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 166 quotes

Did any man at his death ever ...

Did any man at his death ever regret his conflicts with himself, his victories over appetite, his scorn of impure pleasure, or his sufferings for righteousness' sake?

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

My highway is unfeatured air, ...

My highway is unfeatured air, My consorts are the sleepless stars, And men my giant arms upbear My arms unstained and free from scars.
