If There Is A Soul, What Is It, And Where Did It Come From, And Where Does It Go? Can Anyone Who Is Guided By His Reason Possibly Imagine A Soul Independent Of A Body, Or The Place Of Its Residence, Or The Character Of It, Or Anything Concerning It?

When Every Event Was A Miracle, When There Was No Order Or System Or Law, There Was No Occasion For Studying Any Subject, Or Being Interested In Anything Excepting A Religion Which Took Care Of The Soul. As Man Doubted The Primitive Conceptions About Religion, And No Longer Accepted The Literal, Miraculous Teachings Of Ancient Books, He Set Himself To Understand Nature.

The Ability And Inclination To Use Physical Strength Is No Indication Of Bravery Or Tenacity To Life. The Greatest Cowards Are Often The Greatest Bullies. Nothing Is Cheaper And More Common Than Physical Bravery.
