Life As We Call It, Is Nothing

Don't Flatter Yourselves That Friendship Authorizes You To Say Disagreeable Things To Your Intimates. On The Contrary, The Nearer You Come Into Relation With A Person, The More Necessary Do Tact And Courtesy Become.

A Man May Fulfill The Object Of His Existence By Asking A Question He Cannot Answer, And Attempting A Task He Cannot Achieve.

The Mind Of A Bigot To The Pupil Of The Eye; The More Light You Pour On It, The More It Contracts.

We Are All Tattooed In Our Cradles With The Beliefs Of Our Tribe; The Record May Seem Superficial, But It Is Indelible. You Cannot Educate A Man Wholly Out Of The Superstitious Fears Which Were Early Implanted In His Imagination; No Matter How Utterly His Reason May Reject Them...

For Nothing Burns With Such Amazing Speed, As The Dry Sticks Of A Religious Creed.
