I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillment only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection.

If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.

Religion grows with the intelligence of man, but all religions of the past and probably all of the future will sooner or later become petrified forms instead of living helps to mankind.

Although I went to college as a youth, I never considered it necessary to steep oneself in academic learning, in order to learn how to think.

The time has come for honest men to denounce false teachers and attack false gods.
