When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.

Speak and speed: the close mouth catches no flies.
If your riches are yours, why don't you take them with you to the other world?
Who pleasure gives, Shall joy receive
He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
