To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered. In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it. We have a natural right to make use of our pens as of our tongue, at our peril, risk and hazard. If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him. But all nature cries aloud that He does exist. I know of no great men except those who have rendered great service to the human race. I disapprove of what you say, but I defend to the death your right to say it. He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise. Common sense is not so common. By appreciation, we make excellence in others our own property. Needless to say since Christ's expiation not one single Christian has been known to sin, or die |
