Excerpt from Ethan Samuel Chapin: A Memorial, 1814-1889
Unfortunately, Mr. Chapin's correspondence has not been preserved, and, consequently, this sketch lacks the charm which is always felt when one tells his own story.

Excerpt from Ethan Samuel Chapin: A Memorial, 1814-1889
"He likes nothing better than to do kind
acts in a quiet way"
"When will we learn that with all time men
it is not what they intend to do, hut it is
what the qualities of their natures bind
them to do, that determines their career?"
"Life is neither a pleasure nor a pain; it
is a serious business, to he entered on with
courage, and in a spirit of self-sacrifice"
"New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth.
They must upward still, and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth."
