So much wrong could religion induce.

So, little by little, time brings out each several thing into view, and reason raises it up into the shores of light.

The drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence but by oft falling.

If God can do anything he can make a stone so heavy that even he can't lift it. Then there is something God cannot do, he cannot lift the stone. Therefore God does not exist.

Since you must admit that there is nothing outside the universe, it can have no limit and is accordingly without end or measure. It makes no odds in which part of it you may take your stand; whatever spot anyone may occupy, the universe stretches away from him just the same in all directions without limit.

It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind.

So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.
