I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
