The objector and the rebel who raises his voice against what he believes to be the injustice of the present and the wrongs of the past is the one who hunches the world along.

For to know all is to understand all, and this leaves no room for judgment and condemnation.

The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.

...finally men were saved only through God's son dying for them, and that unless human beings believed this silly, impossible and wicked story they were doomed to hell? Can anyone with intelligence really believe that a child born today should be doomed because the snake tempted Eve and Eve tempted Adam? To believe that is not God-worship; it is devil-worship.

One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. But no man has told so consistent a story as nature.

Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.

Anyone can spot a lie, unless he is in need of that lie.
