The dreadful fear of hell is to be driven out, which disturbs the life of man and renders it miserable, overcasting all things with the blackness of darkness, and leaving no pure, unalloyed pleasure.

Sweet it is, when on the high seas the winds are lashing the waters, to gaze from the land on another's struggles.

Too often in time past, religion has brought forth criminal and shameful actions... How many evils has religion caused?

Life is one long struggle in the dark.

Things stand apart so far and differ, that What's food for one is poison for another.

One thing is made of another, and nature allows no new creation except at the price of death.

And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.
