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

God be thanked for books; they...

God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.

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 human being is intended ...

Every human being is intended to have a character of his own; to be what no others are, and to do what no other can do.

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 chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.

The home is the chief school of human virtues.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

He who is false to the present...

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 166 quotes

It is far more important to me...

It is far more important to me to preserve an unblemished conscience than to compass any object however great.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Nothing which has entered into...

Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost.

One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Undoubtedly a man is to labor ...

Undoubtedly a man is to labor to better his condition, but first to better himself.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

May your life preach more loud...

May your life preach more loudly than your lips.

Reading is the royal road to intellectual eminence...Truly good books are more than mines to those who can understand them. They are the breathings of the great souls of past times. Genius is not embalmed in them, but lives in them perpetually.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The cry has been that when war...

The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should be hushed. A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could hardly be propagated.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

To live content with small mea...

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

All that we do outwardly is bu...

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

The domestic relations precede...

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

Home - the nursery of the Infi...

Home - the nursery of the Infinite.
