If I had believed in a God of rewards and punishments, I might have lost courage in battle
I start out by believing the worst
History is a myth that men agree to believe.
Clever policy consists in making nations believe they are free.
I do not believe it is in our nature to love impartially. We deceive ourselves when we think we can love two beings, even our own children, equally. There is always a dominant affection.
The nature of Christ's existence is mysterious, I admit; but this mystery meets the wants of man. Reject it, and the world is an inexplicable riddle; believe it, and the history of our race is satisfactorily explained.
You think you are too intelligent to believe in God. I am not like you.

Man will believe anything, as long as it's not in the bible.
