What a solace Christianity must be to one who has an undoubted conviction of its truth!

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.

It is not necessary to bury the truth. It is sufficient merely to delay it until nobody cares.

Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men;.... Consequently, it may be repressed with impunity. Equality, on the other hand, pleases the masses.

Rascality has limits; stupidity has not.

The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague.
