When I contrast the loving Jesus, comprehending all things in his ample and tender charity, with those who profess to bear his name, marking their zeal by what they do not love, it seems to me as though men, like the witches of old, had read the Bible backward, and had taken incantations out of it for evil, rather than inspiration for good.

Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Heaven never defaults. The wicked are sure of their wages, sooner or later.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The individual and the race are always moving, and as we drift into new latitudes new lights open in the heaven more immediately over us.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Neutral men are the devil's allies.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
A man's love for his native land lies deeper than any logical expression, among those pulses of the heart which vibrate to the sanctities of home, and to the thoughts which leap up from his father's graves.
