More Quotes from William Channing:
Science and art may invent splendid modes of illuminating the apartments of the opulent but these are all poor and worthless compared with the common light which the sun sends into all our windows, which pours freely, impartially over hill and valley, which kindles daily the eastern and western sky and so the common lights of reason, and conscience, and love, are of more worth and dignity than the rare endowments which give celebrity to a few.William Channing
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 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.
William Channing
He is to be educated not because he's to make shoes, nails, and pins, but because he is a man.
William Channing
