All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.
Adam ClarkeIt is strictly and philosophically true in Nature and reason that there is no such thing as chance or accident; it being evident that these words do not signify anything really existing, anything that is truly an agent or the cause of any event; but they signify merely men's ignorance of the real an immediate cause.
Adam ClarkeMultitudes of words are neither an argument of clear ideas in the writer, nor a proper means of conveying clear notions to the reader.
