A man must not swallow more beliefs than he can digest.

Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?

No faith is our own that we have not arduously won.

All arguments are meaningless until we gain personal experience. One must win one's own place in the spiritual world painfully and alone. There is no other way of salvation. The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a wilderness.

Life is livable because we know that wherever we go most of the people we meet will be restrained in their actions towards us by an almost instinctive network of taboos.

Imagination is a poor substitute for experience.

What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command.
