Few men are so obstinate in their atheism, that a pressing danger will not compel them to the acknowledgement of a divine power

Atheism is a disease of the soul, before it becomes an error of the understanding

Arguments, like men are often pretenders

Trees and fields tell me nothing; men are my teachers

The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men

The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily.
