More quotes by Philip Schaff
One man with truth on his side is stronger than a majority in error, and will conquer in the end.
Philip Schaff
Freedom of religion is one of the greatest gifts of God to man, without distinction of race and color. He is the author and lord of conscience, and no power on earth has a right to stand between God and the conscience.
Philip Schaff
The history of the Church is the rise and progress of the kingdom of heaven upon earth, for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.
Philip Schaff

Philip Schaff

Philip Schaff

Philip Schaff

Philip Schaff
Who touches money touches dirt and the less religion has to do with it, the better.
Philip Schaff
In our country we ask no toleration for religion and its free exercise, but we claim it as an inalienable right.
Philip Schaff
Christ himself wrote nothing, but furnished endless material for books and songs of gratitude and praise.
Philip Schaff
The person of Christ is to me the greatest and surest of all facts.
