atheist doe world
I cannot see why we should expect an infinite God to do better in another world than he does in this.
holiness eras world
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
love world pay
Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world, and love is the only thing that will pay ten percent to both borrower and lender.
lying world truth-is
In a world of cruelty, sympathy is a crime, and in a world of lies, truth is blasphemy.
life world consolation
Hope is the consolation of the world.
liberty world paradise
Take the word Liberty from human speech and all the other words become poor, withered, meaningless sounds - but with that word realized - with that word understood, the world becomes a paradise.

Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world.

It is labor that has made the world a fit habitation for the human race.
atheism world superstitions
In the presence of death I affirm and reaffirm the truth of all that I have said against the superstitions of the world. I would say that much on the subject with my last breath.
joy world dramatic
Why should we postpone our joy to another world? Let us get all we can of the good between the cradle and the grave, all that we can of the truly dramatic. If, when death comes, that is the end, we have at least made the best of this life.
men heaven world
No God can put a man in hell in another world, who has made a little heaven in this. God cannot make a man miserable if that man has made somebody else happy.
mean men world
The history of the world shows that when a mean thing was done, man did it; when a good thing was done, man did it.
strong long world
While I am opposed to all orthodox creeds, I have a creed myself; and my creed is this. 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. This creed is somewhat short, but it is long enough for this life, strong enough for this world. If there is another world, when we get there we can make another creed.
religion world phases
Religion is one of the phases of thought through which the world is passing.
