Famous quotes containing the word chapman:

    “The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
