The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor.

It is easy to be hopeful in the day when you can see the things you wish on.

It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.

Such as I am, I am a precious gift.

Anybody depending on somebody else's gods is depending on a fox not to eat chickens.

Why fear? The stuff of my being is matter, ever changing, ever moving, but never lost; so what need of denominations and creeds to deny myself the comfort of all my fellow men? The wide belt of the universe has no need for finger-rings. I am one with the infinite and need no other assurance.
