Why has a religious turn of mind always a tendency to narrow and harden the heart?
Man is certainly stark mad: he cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen.

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

Life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you wish, but you can only spend it once.
A happy life consists in tranquillity of mind.

Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't... you are right.
