William Ellery Channing Love Quotations

True love is the parent of humility....

Our affections are our life. We live by them; they supply our warmth.

Love is the life of the soul. It is the harmony of the universe.

Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.
