William Ellery Channing Quotes About Blessings

Quotes about: Blessings

• Other blessings may be taken away, but if we have acquired a good friend by goodness, we have a blessing which improves in value when others fail.

  William Ellery Channing

  Taken, Good Friend, Blessing

• 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.
