One man in the right will finally get to be a majority.

If nobody has too much, everybody will have enough.

Every man who expresses an honest thought is a soldier in the army of intellectual liberty.

My principal objections to orthodox religion are two: slavery here and hell hereafter.

The Catholic Church is a thousand times better than your Protestant Church upon that question [of damnation]. The Catholic Church believes in purgatory - that is, a place where a fellow can get a chance to make a motion for a new trial.

A crime against god is a demonstrated impossibility.

Would God give a bird wings and make it a crime to fly? Would he give me brains and make it a crime to think? Any God that would damn one of his children for the expression of his honest thought wouldn't make a decent thief. When I read a book and don't believe it, I ought to say so. I will do so and take the consequences like a man.
