All revolutions are doctrinal — such as the French one, or the one that introduced Christianity.

The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904)

These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own.

Christianity got over the difficulty of combining furious opposites, by keeping them both, and keeping them both furious.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.

What's Wrong With The World (1910)

Talk about the pews and steeples
And the cash that goes therewith!
But the souls of Christian peoples...
Chuck it, Smith!

Poems (1917)
