change littles rebellion
A little rebellion is a good thing.
rocks matter principal
In matters of principal stand like a rock.
strength respect patriotic
We confide in our strength, without boasting of it, we respect that of others, without fearing it.
book rooms lovers
A room without books is like a life without meaning.
patriotism trying may
On every question of construction (of the Constitution) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit of the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
men law sick
The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills.
death atheist war
We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is. All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society.
christian atheist hypocrite
The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster cruel vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging three headed beast like god one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes fools and hypocrites.
garden tree serving-others
Too old to plant trees for my own gratification, I shall do it for my posterity.
death wisdom religious
I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world and do not find in our particular superstition [Christianity] one redeeming feature.
family happiness success
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
philosophy party men
I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
religious believe ignorance
History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
religious atheist secular-society
Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.
