The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.

The sceptics, a kind of nomads, despising all settled culture of the land, broke up from time to time all civil society. Fortunately their number was small, and they could not prevent the old settlers from returning to cultivate the ground afresh, though without any fixed plan or agreement.

A lie is the abandonment and, as it were, the annihilation of the dignity by man.

Man's duty is to improve himself; to cultivate his mind; and, when he finds himself going astray, to bring the moral law to bear upon himself.

Nature does nothing in vain, and in the use of means to her goals she is not prodigal.

The existence of the Bible is the greatest blessing which humanity ever experienced.

Maturity is having the courage to use one's own intelligence!
