The World Dread Nothing So Much As

Religion Either Makes Men Wise And Virtuous, Or It Makes Them Set Up False Pretenses To Both.

The Most Rational Cure After All For The Inordinate Fear Of Death Is To Set A Just Value On Life.

The Love Of Fame Is Almost Another Name For The Love Of Excellence; Or It Is The Ambition To Attain The Highest Excellence, Sanctioned By The Highest Authority, That Of Time.

To A Superior Race Of Being The Pretensions Of Mankind To Extraordinary Sanctity And Virtue Must Seem... Ridiculous.

A Great Mind Is One That Can Forget Or Look Beyond Itself.
