The mind, in discovering truths, acts in the same manner as it acts through the eye in discovering objects; when once any object has been seen, it is impossible to put the mind back to the same condition it was in before it saw it.

The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed.

What is it the Bible teaches us? -- rapine, cruelty, and murder.

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

I detest the Bible as I detest everything that is cruel.

I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state; up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake.

The protection of a man's person is more sacred than the protection of his property.
