“Anyone who attacks individual charity, attacks human nature and casts contempt on personal dignity.”

“Whoever infringes upon individual 'charity' infringes upon man's nature and scorns his personal dignity”

“It was once said, and very rightly, that a man who is well brought-up may read anything. The only people who boggle at what is perfectly natural are those who are the worst swine and the finest experts in filth. In their utterly contemptible pseudo-morality they ignore the contents and madly attack individual words.”

“Attacking the person instead of the argument is condemned in logic, widespread in physics, and not used nearly enough in humanism.”

“[Martin] Luther was a kind, warm-hearted man. But he attacked anyone he felt was an enemy of Christ. The worst side of him was expressed in his attacks on Jews. He also attacked Turks, who were Muslims, Catholic followers of the Pope, and even other groups of Protestants. These attacks became more and more violent as he grew older.”

“It is a human tendency tobecome what you attack.”
