Quote by Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Neutral men are the devil's allies.

Neutral men are the devil's allies.

Summary

This quote suggests that those who attempt to stay neutral or indifferent in times of conflict or moral dilemmas are inadvertently supporting and enabling evil. The implication is that it is not enough to simply avoid taking sides or turning a blind eye to injustice, as this can make one complicit in furthering the negative agenda. By choosing not to actively oppose evil or support what is right, neutral individuals are seen as aligning themselves with those who perpetrate wrongdoing.
