No calculations of interest, no schemes of policy can do the work of love, of the spirit of human brotherhood. There can be no peace without but through peace within.
More Quotes from William Channing:
Innocent amusements are such as excite moderately, and such as produce a cheerful frame of mind, not boisterous mirth such as refresh, instead of exhausting, the system such as recur frequently, rather than continue long such as send us back to our daily duties invigorated in body and spirit such as we can partake of in the presence and society of respectable friends such as consist with and are favorable to a grateful piety such as are chastened by self-respect, and are accompanied with the consciousness that life has a higher end than to be amused.William Channing
There are seasons, in human affairs, of inward and outward revolution, when new depths seem to be broken up in the soul, when new wants are unfolded in multitudes, and a new and undefined good is thirsted for. These are periods when...to dare is the highest wisdom.
William Channing
We do, then, with all earnestness, though without reproaching our brethren, protest against the irrational and unscriptural doctrine of the Trinity. To us, as to the Apostle and the primitive Christians, there is one God, even the Father. With Jesus, we worship the Father, as the only living and true God. We are astonished, that any man can read the New Testament, and avoid the conviction, that the Father alone is God.
William Channing
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.
William Channing
Courage considered in itself or without reference to its causes, is no virtue, and deserves no esteem
William Channing
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.
