“There are only two kinds of men in this world: Honest men and dishonest men. ...Any man who says the world owes him a living is dishonest. The same God that made you and me made this earth. And He planned it so that it would yield every single thing that the people on it need. But He was careful to plan it so that it would only yield up its wealth in exchange for the labor of man. Any man who tries to share in that wealth without contributing the work of his brain or his hands is dishonest.”

If he who preaches must tell people to keep away from a certain kind of evil, he must do so meekly and humbly, with fear of God.”

But man seeks to worship what is established beyond dispute, so that all men would agree at once to worship it.
