The great hope of society is in individual character

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

Life has a higher end, than to be amused

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

The reveries of youth, in which so much energy is wasted, are the yearnings of a Spirit made for what it has not found but must forever seek as an Ideal

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

I am a living member of the great family of all souls; and I cannot improve or suffer myself, without diffusing good or evil around me through an ever-enlarging sphere. I belong to this family. I am bound to it by vital bonds.

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

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

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.

No one should part with their individuality and become that of another.

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

But the ground of a man's cul...

But the ground of a man's culture lies in his nature, not in his calling. His powers are to be unfolded on account of their inherent dignity, not their outward direction. He is to be educated, because he is a man, not because he is to make shoes, nail, or pins.

Our affections are our life. We live by them; they supply our warmth.

The hills are reared, the seas are scooped in vain If learning's altar vanish from the plain.

The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts.

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.

A man might pass for insane who should see things as they are.

Let us aspire towards this living confidence, that it is the will of God to unfold and exalt without end the spirit that entrusts itself to Him in well-doing as to a faithful Creator.

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

[Peace] is the highest and mos...

[Peace] is the highest and most strenuous act of the soul, but an entirely harmonious act, in which all our powers and affections are blending in a beautiful proportion, and sustain and perfect one another. It is more than the silence after storms. It is as the concord of all melodious sounds ... an alliance of love with all beings, a sympathy with all that is pure and happy, a surrender of every separate will and interest, a participation of the spirit and life of the universe.... This is peace, and the true happiness

William Ellery Channing 166 quotes

Labor is discovered to be the grand conqueror, enriching and building up nations more surely than the proudest battles.

O God, animate us to cheerfulness! May we have a joyful sense of our blessings, learn to look on the bright circumstances of our lot, and maintain a perpetual contentedness
