  • History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help.

  • A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.
        Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.   Best?
  • A man is what he is, not what men say he is. His character no man can touch. His character is what he is before his God and his Judge; and only he himself can damage that. His reputations what men say he is. That can be damaged; but reputation is for time, character is for eternity

  • The mind cannot long act the role of the heart.
        François de la Rochefoucauld   Best?
  • When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
