The English are mentioned in the Bible; Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

[The Bible is] a mass of fables and traditions, mere mythology.

Wherefore, I beseech you let the dog and the onions and these people of the strange and godless names work out their several salvations from their piteous and wonderful difficulties without help of mine, for indeed their trouble is sufficient as it is, whereas an I tried to help I should but damage their cause the more and yet mayhap not live myself to see the desolation wrought.

Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.

It's not the parts of the Bible I don't know that worries me...it's the parts that I do.

The pitifulest thing out is a mob; that's what an army is--a mob; they don't fight with courage that's born in them, but with courage that's borrowed from their mass, and from their officers. But a mob without any MAN at the head of it is BENEATH pitifulness.

Our consciences take no notice of pain inflicted on others until it reaches a point where it gives pain to us.
