I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.

Men's minds do not die with their bodies but are made more happy or miserable after this life according to their actions.

There are no ugly loves nor handsome prisons.

We can defer, yet time is most certainly not.

I have found Christian dogma unintelligible.

That there is one God, who made all things. That he governs the world by his providence. That he might be worshipped by adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving. But that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to Man. That the Soul is immortal. And that God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.

There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
