  • Proclaim human equality as loudly as you like, Witless will serve his brother.

  • My experience of the world is that things left to themselves don't get right.

  • The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, skepticism is the highest of duties blind faith the one unpardonable sin.

  • The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.

  • The results of political changes are hardly ever those which their friends hope or their foes fear.
