The Man Of Meditation Is

Never Yet Has A God Been Defined In Terms Which Were Not Palpably Self-contradictory And Absurd; Never Yet Has A God Been Described So That A Concept Of Him Was Made Possible To Human Thought.

Never Yet Was A Nation Born That Did Not Begin In The Spirit, Pass To The Heart And The Mind, And Then Take An Outer Form In The World Of Men.

If My Interlocutor Desires To Convince Me That Jupiter Has Inhabitants, And That His Description Of Them Is Accurate, It Is For Him To Bring Forward Evidence In Support Of His Contention. The Burden Of Proof Evidently Lies On Him; It Is Not For Me To Prove That No Such Beings Exist Before My Non-belief Is Justified, But For Him To Prove That They Do Exist Before My Belief Can Be Fairly Claimed. Similarly, It Is For The Affirmer Of God's Existence To Bring Evidence In Support Of His Affirmation; The Burden Of Proof Lies On Him.

Better Remain Silent, Better Not Even Think, If You Are Not Prepared To Act.

There Can Be No Wise Politics Without Thought Beforehand.
