If Jehovah cannot support his religion without going into partnership with a State Legislature, I think he ought to give it up.

Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.

The moment you introduce a despotism in the world of thought, you succeed in making hypocrites - and you get in such a position that you never know what your neighbor thinks.

No one infers a god from the simple, from the known, from what is understood, but from the complex, from the unknown, and incomprehensible. Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.

Do right, not to deny yourself but because you love yourself and because you love others.

I believe that labor is a blessing. It never was and never will be a curse. It is a blessed thing to labor for . . . the ones you love. It is a blessed thing to have an object in life - something to do - something to call into play your best thoughts, to develop your faculties and to make you a man.

The closer I'm bound in love to you, the closer I am to free.
