“For God's sake, be economical with your lamps and candles! not a gallon you burn, but at least one drop of man's blood was spilled for it.”

“The religious right are being decidedly unpatriotic in their quest to drive us back toward the Theocracy that our revolutionary soldiers spilled gallons of blood to be freed from.”

“Rise and demand; you are a burning flame.You are sure to conquer there where the final horizonBecomes a drop of blood, a drop of life,Where you will carry the universe on your shoulders,Where the universe will bear your hope.”

“The soul of man is the lamp of God,’ says a wise Jewish proverb. Man is a weak and miserable creature when God’s light is not burning in his soul. But when it burns (and it only burns in souls enlightened by religion), man becomes the most powerful creature in the world. And it cannot be otherwise, for what then works in him is not his own strength, but the strength of God.”

“Here is the candle extinguished and there the living lamp of the Sun! Do mark the difference between the one and the other!”

“A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood”
