I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do - then do it with all your strength.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.

The abdomen is the reason why man does not easily take himself for a god.

Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies

Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.

Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.
