A criminal is someone without the capital to incorporate

The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.

To say that the universe was here last year, or millions of years ago, does not explain its origin. This is still a mystery. As to the question of the origin of things, man can only wonder and doubt and guess.

I am simply an agnostic. I haven’t yet had time or opportunity to explore the universe, and I don’t know what I might run on to in some nook or corner.

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom.

The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything.

The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.

Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

The true essence of a dictatorship is in fact not its regularity but its unpredictability and caprice; those who live under it must never be able to relax, must never be quite sure if they have followed the rules correctly or not.

The Cross of Christ is the crux of history. Without the Cross, history cannot be defined or corrected.

If someone corrects you, and you feel offended, then YOU have an EGO problem

Religious faith is the one species of human ignorance that will not admit of even the possibility of correction.

If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually’, just do it and correct course along the way.

You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.
