The only atheism is the denial of truth.

We are heirs of the ages because throughout the ages mankind has devised and fashioned new things, and step by step added new conquests to our domain in that incessant contest with nature which means life.

The only atheism is the denial of truth.

There are tides of justice surging to the unknown shores of right; Stars of truth that seek a setting in the dark, untutored night.

Vanity is easily forgiven, for we are all vain, and even as we laugh at the weakness of others we feel that their vanity has touched the responding chord of our own.

Compromise cannot be allowed in cases where the exact truth is ascertainable.

Some people would be discontented in Paradise, others ... are cheerful in a graveyard.
