“One special advantage of the skeptical attitude of mind is that a man is never vexed to find that after all he has been in the wrong.”

“It is not for a man to put himself in such an attitude to society, but to maintain himself in whatever attitude he find himself through obedience to the laws of his being, which will never be one of opposition to a just government, if he should chance to meet with such.”

“... skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.”

“One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him.”

“The church has never been asked to explain anything, our speciality, along with ballistics, has always been the neutralisation of the overly curious mind through faith.”

“An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.”
