Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind strength for the weak and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.
In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments there are consequences.
I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous – if they aver that doubt is a crime then I attack them one and all because they enslave the minds of men.
What light is to the eyes – what air is to the lungs – what love is to the heart liberty is to the soul of man.
Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.
Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.
My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Happiness is not a reward – it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment – it is a result.
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily and the raw material cost so little that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.
