More From Edwin Hubbel Chapin
- "Skepticism has never founded empires, established principals, or changed the world’s heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith."
- "The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant."
- "At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion."
