My main purpose in life is to make enough money to create ever more inventionsโฆ. The dove is my emblemโฆ. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy itโฆ. I am proud of the fact that I have never invented weapons to killโฆ.
Thomas A. EdisonNature is what we know. We do not know the gods of religions. And nature is not kind, or merciful, or loving. If God made me - the fabled God of the three qualities of which I spoke: mercy, kindness, love - He also made the fish I catch and eat. And where do His mercy, kindness, and love for that fish come in? No; nature made us - nature did it all - not the gods of the religions.
