A fact never went into partnership with a miracle.
Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other
fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is
not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.
An honest God is the noblest work of man.
Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.
Colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed.
Courage without conscience is a wild beast.
Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne.
Few nations have been so poor as to have but one
god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little,
that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed

Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is
now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make
others so.
