There is more real devotional feeling summoned from the temple of the mind by great music than by any sermon ever delivered.

The Unitarian Church has done more than any other church to substitute character for creed, and to say that a man should be judged by his spirit; by the climate of his heart; by the autumn of his generosity; by the spring of his hope; that he should be judged by what he does; by the influence that he exerts, rather than by the mythology he may believe.

To destroy guide-boards that point in the wrong direction . . . to drive the fiend of fear from the mind . . . is the task of the Freethinker.

The falling leaf that tells of autumn's death is, in a subtler sense, a prophecy of spring.

Catholicism is contrary to human liberty. Catholicism bases salvation upon belief. Catholicism teaches man to trample his reason under foot. And for that reason it is wrong.

Fear is religion, courage is science.

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
