Edwin Hubbel Chapin Quotes About Lying

Quotes about: Lying

• 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.

• Even yet Christ Jesus has to lie out in waste places very often, because there is no room for him in the inn--no room for him in our hearts, because of our worldliness. There is no room for him even in our politics and religion. There is no room in the inn, and we put him in the manger, and he lies outside our faith, coldly and dimly conceived by us.

  Edwin Hubbel Chapin

  Lying, Light, Land
