Additional quotes by William Ellery Channing

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

I laugh, for hope hath happy place with me;
If my bark sinks, 't is to another sea.

I sing New England, as she lights her fire
In every Prairie's midst; and where the bright
Enchanting stars shine pure through Southern night,
She still is there, the guardian on the tower,
To open for the world a purer hour.

A wail in the wind is all I hear; A voice of woe for a lover's loss. - William Ellery Channing
