Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error.

Temperate, sincere, and intelligent inquiry and discussion are only to be dreaded by the advocates of error. The truth need not fear them.

In Macbeth a lady is restrained from the murder of a king by his resemblance of her father as he slept. Should not all men be restrained from acts of violence and even of unkindness against their fellow men by observing in them something which resembles the Savior of the World? If nothing else certainly, a human figure?

Without Virtue there can be no liberty

If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.

Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights.

Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us.
