• Tomorrow may never come to us. We do not live in tomorrow. We cannot find it in any of our title-deeds.

It lies under the seal of midnight-behind the veil of glittering constellations.

  24 Copy quote

• The universe is a vast system of exchange. Every artery of it is in motion, throbbing with reciprocity, from the planet to the rotting leaf. The vapor climbs the sunbeam, and comes back in blessings upon the exhausted herb. The exhalation of the plant is wafted to the ocean. And so goes on the beautiful commerce of nature. And all because of dissimilarity--because no one thing is sufficient in itself, but calls for the assistance of something else, and repays by a contribution in turn.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Beautiful, Ocean, Blessing

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Men, Jaundice, Littles

  10 Copy quote

• What a proof of the Divine tenderness is there in the human heart itself, which is the organ and receptacle oft so many sympathies! When we consider how exquisite are those conditions by which it is even made capable of so much suffering--the capabilities of a child's heart, of a mother's heart,--what must be the nature of Him who fashioned its depths, and strung its chords.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Mother, Children, Heart

• If you should take the human heart and listen to it, it would be like listening to a sea-shell; you would hear in it the hollow murmur of the infinite ocean to which it belongs, from which it draws its profoundest inspiration, and for which it yearns.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Ocean, Inspiration, Heart

  8 Copy quote

• The greatest successes grow out of great failures. In numerous instances the result is better that comes after a series of abortive experiences than it would have been if it had come at once; for all these successive failures induce a skill which is so much additional power working into the final achievement.... The hand that evokes such perfect music from the instrument has often failed in its touch, and bungled among the keys.... Every disappointed effort fences in and indicates the only possible path of success, and makes it easier to find.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Keys, Hands, Skills

• Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie. It rots a land and corrupts a people like any other lie, and by and by the white light of God's truth shines clear through it, and shows it to be a lie.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Lying, Light, Land

  6 Copy quote

• A small lie, if it actually is a lie, condemns a man as much as a big and black falsehood. If a man will deliberately cheat to the amount of a single cent, give him opportunity and he would cheat to any amount.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Lying, Opportunity, Men

  11 Copy quote
