God Is A Word To Express, Not

The Perpetual Obstacle To Human Advancement Is Custom.

And It Is Not Difficult To Show, By Abundant Instances, That To Extend The Bounds Of What May Be Called Moral Police, Until It Encroaches On The Most Unquestionably Legitimate Liberty Of The Individual, Is One Of The Most Universal Of All Human Propensities.

Most Boys Or Youths Who Have Had Much Knowledge Drilled Into Them, Have Their Mental Capacities Not Strengthened, But Overlaid By It. They Are Crammed With Mere Facts, And With The Opinions And Phrases Of Other People, And These Are Accepted As A Substitute For The Power To Form Opinions Of Their Own. And Thus, The Sons Of Eminent Fathers, Who Have Spared No Pains In Their Education, So Often Grow Up Mere Parroters Of What They Have Learnt, Incapable Of Using Their Minds Except In The Furrows Traced For Them.

That A Thing Is Peculiar; Is No Argument For Its Being Blamable; Since The Most Criminal Actions Are To A Being Like Man Not More Unnatural Than Most Of The Virtues.
