Reading was the only amusement I allowed myself

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.

We may perhaps learn to deprive large masses of their gravity and give them absolute levity, for the sake of easy transport.

Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.

I hope...that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats; for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.

Men differ daily about things which are subject to sense, is it likely then they should agree about things invisible.
